hello i am making a game, but in the game i wanted my player to have fire in his torso so i kinda looked like a vortex, i have made it in studio and then put the model to code so when i spawn im the only one who has it, but its dont seem to work, it prints the text at the end but dont add fire to my torso. if anyone could help me and show where i went wrong that would be so helpful.

Thank you in advance

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
        if plr.Name == "UpOntoNebula" then
            local fire = Instance.new("Fire", char.LowerTorso)
            fire.Color = Color3.new(44, 0, 67)
            fire.SecondaryColor = Color3.new(25, 109, 88)
            fire.Heat = 2
            fire.Size = 3
            fire.Enabled = true
            print("Fire Added")
        end
    end)
end)

Hello, I will help you with this one:

  1. You should use :Connect instead of :connect because :connect is deprecated.
  2. You should set parent after you do all the changes to the instance (https://devforum.roblox.com/t/psa-dont-use-instance-new-with-parent-argument/30296)
  3. Other than that I didn't find anything wrong, make sure it is in ServerScriptService or Workspace and it is inside of Script

Fixed code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        if plr.Name == "UpOntoNebula" then
            local fire = Instance.new("Fire")
            fire.Color = Color3.new(44, 0, 67)
            fire.SecondaryColor = Color3.new(25, 109, 88)
            fire.Heat = 2
            fire.Size = 3
            fire.Enabled = true
            fire.Parent = char.LowerTorso
        end
    end)
end)

Fixed code is tested and it's working.
