wait sorry there’s one more thing! every time I physically equip and unequip the tool. it clones the particles making a ton of them! how can I fix this?

#47

you add a Light1:destroy(),Light2:Destroy() after the enabled = false

#48

thats doesnt seem to be working.

#49

or you could add a debris for it instead of destroy()

#50

add a debris like 0.5 after the parent = nil
Debris:AddItem(Light1,0.5)
Debris:AddItem(Light2,0.5)

#51

Still having the same issue. Here’s my entire script if u need it: (I deleted the Debris part of the script bc it wasn’t working)

local HitCube = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("HitCube") --HitCube is a part inside the custom startercharacter that contains all the effects/lights.
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") 
local character = Player.Character
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.LightEvent -- so the client script could see the remote event
local backpack = Player.Backpack

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(data)
local Light1 =  HitCube:FindFirstChild("Light1"):Clone()
local Light2 =  HitCube:FindFirstChild("Light2"):Clone()

	if data.ActionType == "Light" then
	
		Light1.Parent = data.Parent
		Light2.Parent = data.Parent
		Light1.Enabled = true
		Light2.Enabled = true
	elseif data.ActionType == "LightCanceled" then
		Light1.Enabled = false
		Light2.Enabled = false
		Light1.Parent = nil
		Light2.Parent = nil
	end
end)

local function Check_For_Tool()
	if backpack:FindFirstChild("Light") or character:FindFirstChild("Light") then
		RemoteEvent:FireServer("Light")

	else
	RemoteEvent:FireServer("LightCanceled")
	end
end
Player.Backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(Check_For_Tool)
Player.Backpack.ChildRemoved:Connect(Check_For_Tool)

add a debris for it to destroy itself

#53

You should check if the particle exists before cloning them.

#54

I tried but all it’s doing is just duplicating Light1 and Light2 every time I equip/unequip the tool:

and it also looks like some of them are enabled and some of them aren’t…

local Player = game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)

this should fully work now because now everytime the remoteEvent fires back it wont clone until the actiontype == “Light”

ughh idk why but it’s still duplicating it.

#62

im not the one to give up but I’m getting second thoughts about this.

#63

try restarting ur roblox studio because it should destroy the particleEmitter if the name matches
try prints() to see if the destroy() passes
