Clicking a Enum Keycode while equipping a tool will attatch a ParticleEmitter to character's bodyparts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I scripted a code that is when you equip a tool, then click E, the ParticleEmitter inside the tool will be attatched to the player’s leg or arm, kinda like super power.
But I did 2 version of scripts and none of them worked. Checked many times and has no idea how to do it.
Any help is appreciated.

Hey there, can you please put the code you’ve written here, I will try to help you through this, also were there any errors in the output?

Quite a simple system! Displays the particles on the server + it’s mobile friendly and r6/r15 friendly. You can change the length of the cooldown in the server script and the actual look of the particle.

-- Local Script: Under the tool
	local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
	local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
	
	local tool = script.Parent
	
	local onPowerEnabled = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("OnPowerEnabled")
	

	local function activatePower(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
		if (inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin) then
			onPowerEnabled:FireServer()
		end
	end
	
	tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
		ContextActionService:BindAction("PowerActivate", activatePower, true, Enum.KeyCode.E)
		ContextActionService:SetTitle("PowerActivate", "Activate Power!")
		ContextActionService:SetPosition("PowerActivate", UDim2.fromScale(0.95, 0,65))
	end)
	
	tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
		ContextActionService:UnbindAction("PowerActivate")
	end)

-- Server Script: ServerScriptService
	local POWER_COOLDOWN_LENGTH = 10
	
	local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
	local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

	local onPowerEnabled = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("OnPowerEnabled")
	
	local powerCooldown = {}
	local function handlePowerActivation(player)
		if (powerCooldown[player] == nil) then
			powerCooldown[player] = player
			
			local character = player.Character
			local particle = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter")
			-- customise particle to your likings


			particle.Parent = character:FindFirstChild("RightUpperArm") or character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
			Debris:AddItem(particle, 5)
			
			task.wait(POWER_COOLDOWN_LENGTH)
			powerCooldown[player] = nil
		end
		
	end

	
	onPowerEnabled.OnServerEvent:Connect(handlePowerActivation)

Thanks a lot!
It didn’t work, I will try to find if it’s my problem or maybe a typo in the script.

Most likely, I just wrote this up really quick. The concept is the same however
