The wiki clearly says it's initial parent is nil, and if you put something inside the parentheses, it doesn't error but doesn't work. I'm trying to clone a ParticleEmitter from ServerStorage to a part generated by a script, while avoiding Instance.new() for 1 reason: The NumberSequences. It's difficult to script an Instance.new() with a ParticleEmitter. Please do not tell me how to use NumberSequences instead of Clone(). Thank you.

✓ Accepted answer
local particleEmitter = game:GetService("ServerStorage").ParticleEmitter:Clone()
particleEmitter.Parent = parent -- Insert where the parent is
----OR----
game:GetService("ServerStorage").ParticleEmitter:Clone().Parent = parent -- same thing
