How can I make particles emit in a circular shape?

I’ve had this problem for a while now. Is it possible to make these particles directly emit from the cylinder, or will it always emit in a square shape?

Although the part is round, the particles come out of it in a square shape.

You might need to do some sphere math when emitting the particles or make it emit from a single point in an invisible sphere.

The effect is coming out of a part.

What kind of part? A normal square part?

It’s coming out of a ROBLOX cylinder part

Well, I don’t know how to help then. I’m sorry. xXhypotheticXx said something useful though.

You can have multiple attachments with the particle emitter in them, and arrange them in a circle shape along the edge of the cylinder

Just today, I think, there is a new feature allowing you to change the shape of the emitter

Looks like they also added a Brightness property as well. Hopefully, we will continue to receive even more functionality such as particle sprite sheets, physics, and much more!

do you know how to use this? I tried using it, it doesn’t do anything, and I also searched for tutorials but there are none this post is the only thing I found

Are the new properties not showing for you?

they are they just don’t do anything, atleast not that I can see
