Cloning A Part To A GUI

I’m really stuck right now and I need to know how can a part, possibly a part with emitters, be cloned to a GUI’s frame??

To put a part in a GUI, you could use viewportframes: ViewportFrame GUI
(I’m not sure if you can see the particles there) :woman_shrugging:

And if you need to put particles in GUI this could be very helpful rParticle: The Light Weight, Open Source, GUI Particle System

I will try the Viewport and see if the particles would appear from the part. I also checked out that forum already, it doesn’t quite have what I want but thx!

Viewpoints didn’t work or I feel like I am doing something wrong because the part is not cloning to the frame.

Hi, you have to add a Camera into viewportframe and make sure the viewportframe current camera is equal to camera and make sure the current position of it is UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)

One last thing, I recommend to use this module it makes the item rotate and gives it a Very cool effect + you won’t have to do the things above Check it out here.

Particle emitters are unfortunately not rendered inside of ‘ViewportFrame’ instances.

So do I have to create an instance inside of the Frame?

#8

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.

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