2D particle emitter

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am helping my friend make a game and in there I am making a EXP UI. The problem is when the exp changes its too bland. I want a 2d particle emitter to emit particle at the right side of the ui. (IDK how to do it)

You should try searching the forums before posting.

As @itsLevande stated, there is a module called rParticle that can be used to emit “2D Particle”.
You can do the following with rParticle:
LocalScript in a frame located right side of the EXP UI:

--create a particle
local Particle : ImageLabel = Instence.new("ImageLabel")
local Imgae = "rbxassetid://[Insert Particle Image Here]"
Particle.ImageID = Imgae

--create the emitter with rParticle and end it after one second when value changed
local NumberValue : NumberValue = path.to.NumberValue
NumberValue.changed:connect(function()
    local ParticalEmitter = require(Path.to.rParticle).new(script.Parent, game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ParticleVP"))
    ParticalEmitter.rate = [Insert a float value here]

    ParticalEmitter.onSpawn = function(particle)
    	particle.velocity = Vector2.new(math.random(-700, 700), 500);
    	particle.maxAge = 10;
    end

    ParticalEmitter.onUpdate = function(particle, deltaTime)
	    particle.velocity = particle.velocity - Vector2.new(0, 10);
    	particle.position = particle.position - (particle.velocity/3 * deltaTime);
    end

    task.wait(0.1)
    ParticalEmitter.isDead = true
end)

I’m not sure how I missed those spelling errors after all this time! Thanks for pointing that out.
I’ve fixed that in the original post.
