Cloning A Part To A GUI

Just create the camera and make it look at that part and position it correctly and set viewport.CurrentCamera to that camera

#9

I’m going to try this now and see what happens!

Btw some tips

  1. Set the camera.CFrame to the part CFrame and then move it a bit
  2. Use CFrame.lookAt() to make it look at the part

I am cloning the part to the Viewport, so shouldn’t I set the part’s CFrame relative to the camera’s CFrame??

#12

You’ll need to come up with your own custom particles system.

#13

You have to do the CFrame of it.
Also Check it out here . this particle module it will help you

No no, set the parts POSITION to 0 , 0 , 0 and same with the camera but add a small diff 0 , 4 , 0 or something like that, should be CFrame for the camera tho!
Idk if the particles will appear tho, if not, at least you learned something new!

#15

I’ll test it out and see what I could do.

The part is not being cloned, I don’t know if the camera’s even being made. Here’s the local script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local MainGUI = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("MainParticlesGUI")
local MainFrame = MainGUI.MainFrame
local ReplicatedStroage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ConfettiCode = script.Parent
local ViewportFrame = ConfettiCode.ViewportFrame1
local ViewportCamera = Instance.new("Camera")

local StarFetti = ReplicatedStroage:WaitForChild("StarFetti")



if ViewportFrame:IsA("ViewportFrame") then
	if ViewportFrame ~= nil then
		local FettiClone = StarFetti:Clone()
		task.wait(3)
		if FettiClone ~= nil then
			FettiClone.Parent = ViewportFrame
			ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = ViewportCamera
			ViewportCamera.Parent = ViewportFrame
			ViewportCamera.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(FettiClone.Position + Vector3.new(0, 4, 0), FettiClone.Position)
			print("Cloned")
		end
	end	
end

You made the look at, the positions are still wrong tho…

Try this instead

viewportCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 2, 12), FettiClone.Position)

No luck, guess I got to make my custom particles.

#21

So weird how you can’t clone a part to a GUI but can’t do nothing about it.

#22

You can’t do particles in viewportframe But there is a module that makes particle on the gui.

Here it is

I’ve been trying to use that all along but it’s frustrating.

#24

You can, you never made it correctly (sorry i was gone ;-; )

Camera.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(0 , 4 , 0) --feel free to change the numbers
Camera.CFrame = CFrame.LookAt(part.position , part.position)

I am trying to add a kind of delay to the frames that I have in a table. Basically, I have 3 frames inside of one whole frame and I did a for loop in order to access these frames but I want to make a kind of delay between them so like for instance, Frame 1 is found in the table and particles shoot out of that but there is a .5 second delay before particles shoot out in Frame 2 and so on.

Basically something like switches, so I clone a script to the the three frames but I want the cloned script parented to Frame 2 to activate a little later than the cloned script parented to Frame 1.
