I don’t know what’s going on, but all I"m trying to do is make particles (located in my ViewModel) Emit() when I shoot. I’ve tried everything I can think of. Please HELP!
My local Script:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Tool = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local HeadshotUI = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("HeadShot"):WaitForChild("Frame").HeadShot
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local HeadShotRemote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").HeadShotRemote
local playerName = Player.Name
local ShootAnimation = Tool.Shoot
local ViewModel = Character:FindFirstChild("FlintlockPistol")
local AnimationController = ViewModel:FindFirstChildOfClass("AnimationController")
local animator = AnimationController:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
-- Load the idle animation
local animationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(ShootAnimation)
--[ SETTINGS ]
local ShootCooldown = 0.65

local Pew = Tool.Handle.Pew
local MetalRicochet = Tool.Handle.MetalRicochetSounds
local StoneRicochet = Tool.Handle.StoneRicochetSounds
local Reload = Tool.Handle.Reload
--[ FUNCTIONS ]
local function CreateBulletClient(player, ExactMousePosition)
local gunPosition = ViewModel.BulletStartPOS.Position -- Adjust this if needed
-- Create the beam part
local beam = Instance.new("Part")
beam.Name = "Bullet"
beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.1, 0.1, (gunPosition - ExactMousePosition).magnitude) -- Set initial size
beam.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 191, 0) -- Change color as needed
beam.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
beam.CanCollide = false
beam.CastShadow = false
beam.Anchored = true
beam.Parent = workspace
-- Set position and orientation
beam.CFrame = CFrame.new((gunPosition + ExactMousePosition) / 2, ExactMousePosition)
print(player.Name .. "'s bullet was created.")
-- Shrink the beam on both the X and Y axes over time (faster)
coroutine.wrap(function()
for i = 1, 10 do -- Reduced iterations for faster shrinking
-- Gradually decrease the X and Y dimensions to make the beam skinnier
local newSizeX = 0.1 * (1 - i / 10) -- Shrink the X size faster
local newSizeY = 0.1 * (1 - i / 10) -- Shrink the Y size faster
beam.Size = Vector3.new(newSizeX, newSizeY, beam.Size.Z) -- Keep Z (length) the same
wait(0.02) -- Reduced wait time for faster shrinking
end
beam:Destroy() -- Destroy the beam after it has finished shrinking
end)()
