It doesnt change the lifetime in it, so I cannot make it,

01game.Workspace.ChildAdded:connect(function(player)
02     local name = player.Name
03     local playerinplayers = game.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
04     if playerinplayers ~= nil then
05         playerinplayers.CanLoadCharacterAppearance = false
06         local hat = Instance.new("Hat", player)
07         hat.Name = "WhiteSparkleTimeFedora"
08         hat.AttachmentForward = Vector3.new(0, 0, -1)
09         hat.AttachmentPos = Vector3.new(0, -0.1, 0)
10         hat.AttachmentRight = Vector3.new(1, 0, 0)
11         hat.AttachmentUp = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
12         local part = Instance.new("Part", hat)
13         part.Name = "Handle"
14         part.Size = Vector3.new(2,2,2)
15         local mesh = Instance.new("SpecialMesh", part)
16         mesh.MeshId = "rbxassetid://72081410"
17         mesh.TextureId = "rbxassetid://1016192367"
18         local particle =Instance.new ("ParticleEmitter", part)
19         particle.Name = "SPARKLE"
20         particle.Size = NumberSequence.new(0.3)
21         particle.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(0.1)
22         particle.LightEmission = 0
23         particle.Color = 255, 255, 255
24         particle.Acceleration = 0, 0, 0
25         particle.Lifetime = NumberRange.new(0.1)
26         particle.Speed = NumberSequence.new(1)
27         particle.TextureId = ("rbxasset://textures/particles/sparkles_main.dds")
28    end
29end)

Maybe make it NumberRange.new(0.1, 0.2) since it's a range? Jxemes 75 — 7y

ahh so much deprecated stuff, setting parents before position, all the good old deprecated stuff. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

[EDIT] - My bad, I haven't looked over all of the script. So for the script you have a few basic errors. The basic errors are you are putting spaces, brackets, and . in the wrong place.

You are mostly using the instances in the wrong way. If you want to learn about how to use different instances, I suggest you use the wiki.

wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Instance_(Data_Structure)

01game.Workspace.ChildAdded:connect(function(player)
02     local name = player.Name
03     local playerinplayers = game.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
04     if playerinplayers ~= nil then
05         playerinplayers.CanLoadCharacterAppearance = false
06         local hat = Instance.new("Hat", player)
07         hat.Name = "WhiteSparkleTimeFedora"
08         hat.AttachmentForward = Vector3.new(0, 0, -1)
09         hat.AttachmentPos = Vector3.new(0, -0.1, 0)
10         hat.AttachmentRight = Vector3.new(1, 0, 0)
11         hat.AttachmentUp = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
12         local part = Instance.new("Part", hat)
13         part.Name = "Handle"
14         part.Size = Vector3.new(2,2,2)
15     part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('color') -- Add a color.
16     part.Transparency = 0 -- number
17     part.Material = Plastic -- a material
18     part.Anchored = false -- true or false, a boolvalue
19     part.Shape = Block -- a shape
20         local mesh = Instance.new("FileMesh", part) -- Make sure this is a filemesh instead of specialmesh because you are using id's.
21         mesh.MeshId = "rbxassetid://72081410"
22         mesh.TextureId = "rbxassetid://1016192367"
23         local particle = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter", part)

Hope this helps !

Thank you! I am just a starter on sceipting and this was not so easy script, and I didnt know. ItzFireable 17 — 7y

Didnt work. I will get it to work someday. ItzFireable 17 — 7y

hmm.. ill make another script lets see Amputea 2 — 7y

How can I make the sparkles lifetime to work properly?
