I have a code that I'm trying to use where if a certain player joins, it will make a new sparkles instance inside the torso of that player. Here's what I have, but it's not working. I'm testing this in Roblox Studio, so the name is Player.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local name = plr.Name
if name == "Player" then
sparkles = Instance.new("Sparkles", game.Workspace.Player.Torso)
sparkles.Enabled = true
sparkles.SparkleColor = (255, 255, 0)
end
end)
Your error is setting the color, you tried to set a Color3 value as a non-Color3 value.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local name = plr.Name
repeat wait() until plr.Character -- Wait for character
local char = plr.Character
if name == "Player1" then --The name for a player in studio is Player1.
local sparkles = Instance.new("Sparkles", char.Torso)
sparkles.Enabled = true
sparkles.SparkleColor = Color3.new(255, 255, 0)--Error here
end
end)
Onrespawn
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) --Define Player
plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char) --Define Character
local name = plr.Name
if name == "Player1" then
local sparkles = Instance.new("Sparkles", char.Torso)
sparkles.Enabled = true
sparkles.SparkleColor = Color3.new(255, 255, 0)
end
end)
end)
After fixing that, it still didn't work.
Are you sure? I tested it in studio and it worked fine.
char.Torso <-- This was edited in the script. Didn't see it.
Are there any issues with the script, do you need more explanation, or are you fine with it?
This is fine, but I also kind of want to know how to get it to stay on respawn.
The second script should fix that.
Thank you! If I had 5 rep I would upvote you!
Thanks, check these links if you want to refer to the two functions used: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Players/PlayerAdded and http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Player/CharacterAdded.

I replied with an answer that should help.
