Some stuff no listed is that a sparkle particle emitter is placed into the right and left foot of the local player.

`1`	`Players.legoch12.PlayerGui.Shop.Shop1.Superfast.Buy:9: attempt to index` `local` `'Left'` `(a` `nil` `value)`

The error I get is above.

What I'm trying to do is make it so it finds the particle emitter in the foot of the player and then destroys it. If possible I would also like to add in a while loop that if it finds one and deletes it it keeps looking to see if there is another one which also stumps me

Found the problem! Thanks for viewing legoch12 45 — 7y
