How do I add effects to weapons?
So I am making a wide variety of weapons and some of them I want to have a cool effect such as set a player on fire if they get hit with the weapon. If anyone could help me with this that would be great! Thanks!

This is a very broad question, and it sounds like you are inexperienced. I'd suggest trying to create your own weapons first, that will give you more of an idea on how to do what you want with scripting. Since we don't know what weapons you are talking about, there isn't much help we can give.
If they are simple melee weapons, you could try putting this script inside the blade of the weapon. It will place fire instances into the parts of humanoids that it touches.
01 | local Blade = script.Parent |
02 |
03 | Blade.Touched:connect(function(hit) --When the blade hits a part, make a variable called "hit" that is what the blade touched. |
04 |
05 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then --If the part that was touched is part of a Humanoid then |
06 |
07 | if not hit.Parent.Fire then |
08 |
09 | local Fire = Instance.new("Fire") --Create the fire instance. |
10 |
11 | Fire.Parent = hit --Place the fire into the body part. |
12 |
13 | wait(10) --Wait 10 seconds. |
14 |
15 | Fire:Destroy() --Destroy the fire. |
