How do I make the smoke thicker?

I’m trying to make this Warbound Grenade into a smoke grenade. I changed the model and changed the Explosion to Smoke. It works, but I want to make the smoke thicker, so I changed some numbers, but the smoke didn’t get thicker. Here’s the code.

	local L_61_ = Instance.new('Smoke', L_23_)
		L_61_.Position = L_23_.Position
		L_60_forvar1.BlastRadius = L_20_.ExplosionDistance
		L_61_.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = L_20_.SmokeJointDestroyDist
		L_20_.SmokeType = L_20_.SmokeType
		
		local L_62_ = Instance.new('Sound', L_23_)
		L_62_.SoundId = "rbxassetid://380490522"
		L_62_.Volume = 10000
		L_62_:Play()
		L_62_.Ended:connect(function()
			for L_69_forvar1, L_70_forvar2 in pairs(L_25_) do
				table.remove(L_25_, L_70_forvar2)
			end
			L_23_:Destroy()
			L_27_:FireClient(L_59_arg1)
		end)
	end
end

end)

One way of creating “thicker” smoke would be to use Particle Emitters Instead

May I ask why you have _L on everything?

Also, :connect() is deprecated, use :Connect(). Same with the parent argument on Instance.new(), you should be manually parenting it afterwards.

Just change the smoke’s color to a darker shade, or use multiple smoke instances in the same place?

It was a warbound free model. I can’t really read Warbound’s code, so I don’t know.

You should stay away from using his models i guess. For some reason, he’s obfusticating server side code, and even that he isn’t doing properly. Also, he uses deprecated methods.

How would I change the particle emitter to something that looks like the smoke?

Looking at your code, you might want to read smoke properties here. Alongside this, if you don’t have an explosion you shouldn’t reference properties of it because the code will error out (L_61_.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = L_20_.SmokeJointDestroyDist). In my opinion, I’d find a smoke texture and use particles because you can customise them more. Read about that here.

Also, on L_62_.Volume = 10000: Sound volumes can be from 0-10 (defaulting at 0.5) so setting it to 10000 won’t do anything but set it to 10.

I wrote some code onto it and changed the Smoke to ParticleEmitter. I’m not sure if this new code will work.

Code: L_61_.Texture = “http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=258128463”

Edit: the code worked, but the particles only went to the right and I don’t know how to make them bigger.

Did you keep the rest of the code? Could you edit your reply and post it? Thanks.
As for making it go to bigger/going someplace else here are the properties which you’ll most likely want to use:

  • EmissionDirection: What side of the block it’ll go, reference it with ParticleEmitter.EmissionDirection
  • Rate: How many particles are created
  • Speed: How far it’ll go
  • Lifetime: How long it lasts
