How do I get a particle effect in front of a highlight effect?

How do I get a particle effect in front of a highlight effect?

I’m not much of a VFX artist I’m more of a scripter so I don’t know much about this stuff but I’m willing to learn.

So this is what I want:


And I have this :skull_and_crossbones::

So I asked the person who made these impact frames using particle effects, fog and hightlight(I don’t know what else) and they told me this :sob::


My problems are that the particle effect are going behind the rig(which has a highlight effect) and that nothing looks like this really cool impact frame bro :sob:. I didn’t add the background because that would make the particle effect fully transparent. Also I notice how the particle effect kinda sometimes has a different tint of black/white in the frames.

Is the example from ingame or is it an image? The only way those effects could’ve been done ingame is probably if they were imagelabels on a gui, and imagelabels are capable of having different tints of black/white.

As far as I know there currently is no way to make a normal particleemitter to appear ahead of a highlight. Perhaps Roblox will fix this in the future.

I made this, so let me know if it’s alright:
create.roblox.com/marketplace/asset/15428520156

How it looks:

Make an invisible part and weld it to characters eye location and put the emitter inside of the part. That’s all i can think of.

here is the video, the vfx are in game and it looks so cool but I have no idea how he could do this all in roblox studio

Hey there, I don’t know if there’s a way to make particles appear on top of the highlight. However, if your highlight and particle colors will be the same, as shown in the example you provided, then I believe your best option is to adjust the ZOffset value of the particle emitter. If you increase it to 2, the particles will always appear on top of the character.

I hope this helps!
