instance.new not working when clicking with a tool?
so I tried scripting this script and put it inside a gun tool since my gun just needs some realistic feels (smoke appears when you shoot).
somehow when I shoot with my gun the smoke doesn't appear.
the script:
1 | local Tool = script.Parent |
2 |
3 | Tool.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse) |
4 | Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function() |
5 | Instance.new("Smoke", script.Parent.Handle) |
6 | wait(2) |
7 | script.Parent.Handle.Smoke:Destroy() |
8 | end) |
9 | end) |
I'm pretty new at scripting so I mostly got the script from a roblox wiki tutorial and just edited it.
it is a normal script and is inside the tool.

Is it a local script? If so you would need to use a remote event due to most things on ROBLOX being FE or whatever it's called now. k1nq 30 — 5y

Use Activated()
That all you need to change
1 | local Tool = script.Parent |
2 |
3 | Tool.Activated:Connect(function() |
4 | Instance.new("Smoke", script.Parent.Handle) |
5 | wait(2) |
6 | script.Parent.Handle.Smoke:Destroy() |
7 | end) |

Try adding a position, smoke particles need a position for the emitter, and you didn't specify the position, so try doing this:
01 | local Tool = script.Parent |
02 |
03 | Tool.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse) |
04 | Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function() |
05 | local smoke = Instance.new("Smoke", script.Parent.Handle) |
06 | smoke.Position = script.Parent.Handle.Position |
07 | wait(2) |
08 | script.Parent.Handle.Smoke:Destroy() |
09 | end) |
10 | end) |
Hope I could help!

should I use vector3 in this? Rdumb1 4 — 5y

You should use Vector3 only if you want to make the smoke show up elsewhere, such as a fire. In this case, you don't need Vector3, because script.Parent.Handle, your gun, has a value called Position, which holds a Vector3 value, so no. The code I posted should explain. A_thruZ 29 — 5y
