Disabling particles from clothes the player is wearing

I want to disable all particles from things the player is wearing.
This is the script I wrote and placed in StarterCharacterScript, but It didn’t work.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

wait(15)

for i, fplayer in pairs(Player:GetDescendants()) do 
	if fplayer:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
		fplayer.Enabled = false
	end
end

First I thought, It didn’t work, because the player didn’t existed yet, but since it waited 15 seconds, this can’t be the error…

Thanks in advance!

I suggest using a Server Script for this
(Server Script in ServerScriptService)

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Char)
		Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		task.wait(1) --// So we know that the players character has fully loaded
		
		for i,v in pairs(Char:GetDescendants()) do 
			if (v.ClassName == "ParticleEmitter") then 
				v.Enabled = false
			end
		end
	end)
end)

first of all, the script you posted will disable the particles from your player only (so basically you’ll still be able to see other players particles)

second, don’t use wait(15), try something like player.CharacterAdded instead (to wait for the character to load)

and third, you’re using getdescendants on the player object itself, not the character, that’s why it can’t find anything…

final script would be something like this:

local player = game:GetService'Players'.LocalPlayer;
if not player.Character then player.CharacterAdded:Wait() end;

local character = player.Character;
for _, object in next, character:GetDescendants() do
if object:IsA'ParticleEmitter' then
object.Enabled = false;
end;
end;

Yeah, I know that it only disables the effects for me (no wonder its a local script), but I actually wanted to achieve exactly that, this is why I did it in a localscript not ServerScript.

But your script also did not work…

I fixed it by myself, by just changing it to the character.
This is the final script in case anyone need it:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

repeat
	wait()
until game:IsLoaded()

for i, fplayer in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do 
	if fplayer:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
		fplayer.Enabled = false
	end
end

this won’t work if your character dies, unless the script gets refreshed when you respawn

Just place it in StarterCharacterScripts
