How to create this effect?

Hello,
So I’m making a tapping simulator, now if you’ve played some, you might see this effect:

If you watch the gif, you will see that when I click the button, clicking symbols appear.

I tried using Particle Emitters, but they don’t go down or anything like that, I have tried a few other things too, but none of them work. I’m sure there’s a simple way to create something like this

I assume you need to use a script, hence why I put it in #help-and-feedback:scripting-support

I’ve googled it but can’t find anything. I’m not asking for a script, just how to do it!

Thank you!

This is a UI effect, so it should be using

TweenService and Instance.new or :Clone()

Which effect are you talking about?

The effect where the clicking icons come out of the player in different directions.

I’m pretty sure thats not possible with particle emitters and the mouses are different sizes so its a ui effect or something else

That’s definitely a ParticleEmitter. It’s using the ParticleEmitter.Acceleration property to create a gravitational pull, and the ParticleEmitter.SpreadAngle property to shoot them in different directions.

If it’s a particle emitter then just put acceleration’s y axis up and make the ParticleEmitter direction down, change the speed to 50

Oh ok, its because I mainly work on UI and not particle emitters

I came across another issue. How would I activate it from a script. If I change the rate from 0 to 0.4, sometimes it doesn’t appear in time.

You can use ParticleEmitter:Emit() to emit any amount of particles at once. Simply enter a parameter for how many particles you wish to emit.
