E.G if I where to kick I would like an effect to go on the leg that is kicking to show how much power is going into the kick.

You could make a script that plays the animation, and waits for as much time as you want to show particles when you want.

Would you happen to know any scripts that can do this? if so great help! Kisobel 0 — 4y

Your only option would be to wait or split the AnimationTrack by it's length (AnimationTrack.Length). You'd still need to wait, though.

[ Length ] https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/property/AnimationTrack/Length

[ AnimationTracks ] https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/property/AnimationTrack/

You might be able to do something hacky by checking it's CFrame/joints but that wouldn't be really worth the effort. Just use a wait, and time it right (shouldn't be too hard).

Hey, I will try this out but I am not the best coder at timing. The only thing I can do is try and watch a few video's! So thanks for the help but I will also look out for someone else to possibly have a certain answer. Kisobel 0 — 4y

This type of thing is pretty simple, you could clone a particle emitter to the character's leg, then wait, and have it destroyed.

        local cloned = ParticleEmitter:Clone()
        local playanim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(kickanim)
        playanim:Play()
        cloned.Parent = char:FindFirstChild("RightLowerLeg")
        wait(0.4)
        cloned:Destroy()

Thanks but, is there a way to make it appear during a certain time? rather than it already being there? Kisobel 0 — 4y

You could change the wait to be above the line when it parents it? AtlasAnzu 2 — 4y
