Hi, how do i create a slow burning fuse? I don’t even know where to start.

So basically, i want a TNT fuse effect, that will slowly burn towards the end of the fuse. Heres an example of what i’m trying to create:

Obviously, for the exploding part it really shouldn’t be to hard you’d just probably need a sound and some smoke to be emitted. As for the fuse, you could potentially try to put some sort of particle emitter on the end of it and slowly shorten it with code.

How would i slowly shorten it? and what if the wire is made up of different parts to give the fuse a curve effect?

Okay, I think I’ve cracked it.

First thing you want to do is construct Bezier Curves as the string (the DevHub has an article on this if you aren’t sure what I mean https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Bezier-curves). Then, you’ll slowly tween the components sizes as they would burn (you’ll want to also keep the fire and smoke on the top of the components). Then when it’s finished, the best part, make it explode by instancing a new Explosion.

Hope I helped.
