Gigantic particles dissapear when out of screen

I needed to make a giant orbiting particle system but the problem is that since its so huge the origin part gets out of view alot and that makes the particles not render

Is there a workaround for a different method of using a special effect thats this size?

This is probably for optimization. You can try using ParticleEmitter:Emit(1) function, but Im not sure if it will help.

is this for a script? how do i do it

Yes, you need to call it in a loop. But this probably won’t help though.

i was thinking for a workaround i could make a spinning part thats invisible with the decal on it but idk how to that

You can use SurfaceGui and rotate the ImageLabel inside it.

yea i havent really got the hang off roblox scripting yet

So you want the script? Its pretty easy.

if you can? ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

Of course :wink:.

local Image = script.Parent

while true do
   Image.Rotation += 1
   if Image.Rotation >= 360 then
      Image.Rotation = 0
   end
   task.wait()
end

Assuming that the script is inside ImageLabel.

hey, the surface gui does spin but for some reason the image wont show up

Make sure that you are used a correct image. It should be working.

i copied the exact id from the particle emitter i had, maybe im pasting it in the wrong place? where does it go

I did the same thing 2 days ago and it worked for me. Image from ParticleEmitter should go to ImageLabel.Image.

Did you set the SurfaceGui.Face property to Top? Or if Top is not a right side, try other sides (its based on rotation of parts).

yes, the white surface on the part is the surface gui

Can you try using images from the ToolBox to see if its only your image not working? Just right-click on the image and then click on “Copy asset ID” or something like that.

oh that works, thats weird, ill see what i can do
thx
