Help With onenter ParticleEmitter?

Asked Jul 23, 2015445 views2 answers

Hi so.. My script is just testing my onEnter particle emitter script. Its supposed to work and insert a particle emettir for 5 seconds when u enter the game. 12:51:00.939 - Workspace.Particle Emitter:6: '' expected near '/' Thats the error. The output shows.

Par = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter", character)


game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
		Par.Texture = http://www.roblox.com/Fire-item?id=32312686
		wait(5)
		:Destroy()
		
	end)
end)

Help would be appreciated thanks in advance:)

You forgot to place quotation marks around your Id, And you have :Destroyin a undefined way, You must define what you are going to destroy, The third thing that will error is your ParticleEmitter Instance variable, you are placing it in character, and character hasn't been defined till player.CharacterAdded, this will give a Global error.

Id = "Id Here"

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
		Par = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter", character.Torso)
        Par.Texture = "rbxasset://"..Id
        wait(5)
        Par:Destroy()
    end)
end)

You need to use the asset link on line 4, so it should be "rbxassetid://32312686", or it can be "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=32312686"

Thanks again but when i use the other properties like Par.Texture and Par.Size it never ends but if i just use Par.Texture it ends

Thats because the Emitter's Size uses NumberSequences.

Par = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter", character)


game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
        Par.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/Fire-item?id=32312686" 
        wait(5)
        Par:Destroy()

    end)
end)

Also, I prefer to use variables for ID's, so I would do it such as..

local particleId = 32312686

Par = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter", character)


game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
        Par.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/Fire-item?id=" .. particleId
        wait(5)
        Par:Destroy()

    end)
end)

That way, you can change the Id anytime you want easily.

Line 3 would error, because character is defined after par was.
