How to create auras?

I want to create auras for my game… I want to start with the basics of creating auras, and then I want to move on to more complex forms of auras. I know this is kind of vague but I really can’t specify more. A starting goal for me is to create a sphere of blue around the character. My current understanding would be to put a particle emitter around the humanoid, although I’m not sure how that would work…

Yeah you can just parent the particle emitter to the torso??

Hello there! All you need to do is something like this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local character = plr.Character
    
    -- Check if the player has the Aura?
    if(hasAura) then
        local pm = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter")
        pm.Name = "Aura"
        pm.Parent = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    end
end)

When a player joins it:

  • Creates a ParticleEmitter instance.
  • Sets the name of it to Aura.
  • Sets the parent of the ParticleEmitter to the player’s HumanoidRootPart, formerly known as Torso.
