Flipbook particle wont emit using :Emit()

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a particle emitter, using a flipbook particle. I have set the Enabled attribute to false (as that’s what Roblox says to do when you’re controlling it via script) and it doesn’t emit anything when I use :Emit() with any number. The only time it emits is when u have Enabled set to true it works, but it’s delayed bc its just emitting on its own. How am I supposed to do this?

#2

bump because people won’t help me.

local particleEmitter = script.Parent -- Replace with the actual path to your ParticleEmitter

-- Set Enabled to false to control via script
particleEmitter.Enabled = false

-- Function to emit particles
local function emitParticles()
	wait(0.1) -- Delay to ensure the emitter is ready
	particleEmitter:Emit(50) -- Replace 50 with the number of particles you want to emit
end

-- Example of calling the function, replace with your actual event or condition
emitParticles()

function module:emitParticle(emitter: ParticleEmitter, num: number, pos: Vector3)
	local a = Instance.new("Part")
	a.Size = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
	a.Transparency = 1
	a.Anchored = true
	a.Position = pos
	a.Parent = workspace:WaitForChild("particles")
	local b = emitter:Clone()
	b.Parent = a
	emitter:Clear()
	wait()
	emitter:Emit(num)
	print("emitted")
	debris:AddItem(a, b.Lifetime.Max + 3)
end

this is my function that i have had. emitter is an emitter that has Enabled set to false

So what do you want me to do here with this context script or editing it

#7

im saying my script is doing the same thing as yours

#8 
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

function module:emitParticle(emitter: ParticleEmitter, num: number, pos: Vector3)
    -- Clone the emitter to not interfere with the original one
    local emitterClone = emitter:Clone()
    
    -- Create a new Part to host the cloned emitter
    local hostPart = Instance.new("Part")
    hostPart.Size = Vector3.new(0.1, 0.1, 0.1) -- Slightly larger than (0,0,0) to ensure visibility
    hostPart.Transparency = 1 -- Make the part invisible
    hostPart.Anchored = true
    hostPart.CanCollide = false -- Prevent the part from interfering with other objects
    hostPart.Position = pos
    hostPart.Parent = workspace
    
    -- Set up the cloned emitter
    emitterClone.Enabled = true -- Enable the emitter to ensure it can emit when Emit() is called
    emitterClone.Parent = hostPart
    
    -- Emit the particles
    emitterClone:Emit(num)
    
    -- Clean up the host part and emitter after the particles are done
    Debris:AddItem(hostPart, emitterClone.Lifetime.Max + 3)
end

I will try this when I get home, fingers crossed!

it worked, tweaked it a little but it worked! thank you!

function module:emitParticle(emitter: ParticleEmitter, num: number, pos: Vector3)
	local emitterClone = emitter:Clone()

	local hostPart = Instance.new("Part")
	hostPart.Size = Vector3.new(0.1, 0.1, 0.1)
	hostPart.Transparency = 1 
	hostPart.Anchored = true
	hostPart.CanCollide = false
	hostPart.Position = pos
	hostPart.Parent = workspace

	emitterClone.Enabled = true
	emitterClone.Parent = hostPart

	emitterClone:Emit(num)
	emitterClone.Enabled = false -- i added this line

	debris:AddItem(hostPart, emitterClone.Lifetime.Max + 3)
end
