Issues with particle acceleration?

Asked Jul 8, 2018187 views2 answers

while true do
		script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0.4)
		wait(.5)
		script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0.8)
end

I want to make a particle rock back and forth slowly but this doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone have a fix to this?

why is it under an attachment tho

because its the smallest point for an emitter

From your explanation I'm guessing you'd do-

script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = Vector3.new(0,0,0.4)

while true do
	for i = 1,4 do -- Brings it to 0.8 
		script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration + Vector3.new(0,0,0.1)
	wait(.5)
	end

	wait() -- Any interval of time between

	for i = 1,4 do -- Brings it back to 0.4 
		script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration - Vector3.new(0,0,0.1)
	wait(.5)
	end
end

What your doing is moving it one way by reversing that and making it go the opposite way , Using negatives it will rock back and forth pretty smoothly.

while true do
        script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0.4)
        wait(.5)
        script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0.8)
wait(.5)
        script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = Vector3.new(0, 0, -0.4)
        wait(.5)
        script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = Vector3.new(0, 0, -0.8)
wait(.5)
end
