This is a support category for asking questions about how to get something done on the Roblox websites or how to do something on Roblox applications such as Roblox Studio.
You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to create finsher effects for my punch tool. (finishers are special effects on the players killing hit, like the player being flinged further or a special animation playing.) -
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
Everything works fine, the finisher triggers, the smoke and vfx works on the finisher, its just the impact frames (black and white frames that appear on impact) are not working. -
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
i have used print statements to check but it does not really make much sense.
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
