From a first glance, you aren't turning on and off the particle emitter in a valid way. Enabled() is not a default function of Particle emitter, meaning it won't do anything and might return an error.

In order to turn a particle emitter on or off, you need to set the boolean property "Enabled" to true or false respectively.

So instead of Spark:Enabled(), use this to turn it on,

Spark.Enabled = true

and this to turn it off

Spark.Enabled = false

Thus the final product would look like

wait(0.1)
local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.Volume=1
sound.Pitch=1
sound.Name=""
sound.Looped=true
sound.PlayOnRemove=false
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
sound.Parent = player.Radio
local Format = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=##ID##"
local frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame")
Spark = player:WaitForChild("Radio").ParticleEmitter

frame:WaitForChild("Play").MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    local input = tonumber(frame:WaitForChild("Input").Text)
    if input then
        sound:Stop()
        sound.SoundId=Format:gsub("##ID##", tostring(input))
        sound:Play()
        Spark.Enabled = true
    end
end)
frame:WaitForChild("Stop").MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    sound:Stop()
    Spark.Enabled = false
end)

I haven't tested this yet, but how do you see script errors log? Bulvyte 388 — 8y

If you are testing this in roblox Studio, go to "View" and click output window. Else, you could hit f9 in a game and click on "Server console". Errors will be in red randomsmileyface 375 — 8y

It doesn't work when player joins the particles are in Radio which means in his inventory and script locates that it's in script.Parent.Parent.ParticleEmitter which means in radio but it locates that in playergui how i locate the radio which is in players inventory ??? Bulvyte 388 — 8y

I was under the assumption that by "Inventory", you meant the player's backpack. In that case, You've already defined your player, which won't change even if his name isn't Player1. Look at this segment --local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character-- It defines the model Player1 as the variable player. Thus, radio is player.Radio randomsmileyface 375 — 8y
