I've been trying to make particles appear from the player's left and right arms upon f being pressed. This is what I got:
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
print("Activating Powers . . .")
local fire = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter")
fire.Parent =
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)
How would I continue / improve this script?
local character = game.Character
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
print("Activating Powers . . .")
local fire = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter")
fire.Parent = game.Workspace.Character:FindFirstChild("Left Arm")
local clone = fire:Clone()
clone.Parent = game.Worspace.Character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)
That's the script I got so far, but are those the parents of the arms?

You didn't parent the ParticleEmitter to anything...
I want to parent it to the left and right arms but I don't know how?
You would need to use two particle emitters as parts are only emitted from the parent
You could create the first one then parent it, then clone it as a new variable and parent it. More efficient than creating two from scratch. But that was probably implied in kingdom's comment.
I did the cloning and all, but I am still stuck on how to parent them to tleft and right arms.Here is the script if it helps:
