It’s supposed to be if v.Name == "Light1" or v.Name == "Light2" or else it will destroy everything in the root part.

Also, it’s probably causing the error because data.Parent is nil.

doesnt work:

what is it?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

#73

it is because in the server script we didnt fireallclients back the parent causing it to be nil

#74 
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.LightEvent

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,actionType)
local character = player.Character
local HitCube = character:WaitForChild("HitCube")

if actionType == "Light" then
	RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(
		{
			ActionType = "Light",
			Parent = HitCube
		}
	)
elseif actionType == "LightCanceled" then
	RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(
		{
			ActionType = "LightCanceled"
		}
	)
	
end
end)
#75

Of course, it won’t fix the error, it’s going to fix a problem you will have after you fix the error. The error is because data.Parent doesn’t exist, probably because it’s whatever you’re sending to the data.

edit: I think I know:
Simply add “Parent” as a key to the “LightCanceled”, like this:

elseif actionType == "LightCanceled" then
	RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(
		{
			ActionType = "LightCanceled";
Parent = HitCube
		}
	)
	
end
#76

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.LightEvent

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,actionType)
local character = player.Character
local humanoidRootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart
local HitCube = character:WaitForChild(“HitCube”)

if actionType == “Light” then
RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(
{
ActionType = “Light”,
Parent = HitCube
}
)
elseif actionType == “LightCanceled” then
RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(
{
ActionType = “LightCanceled”,
Parent = HitCube
}
)

end
end)

#77

and if the hitcube is set to the particleEmitter’s parent , then you would have to change the both of the parents to hitcube

#78

i literally forgot to add back the data.Parent for lightcanceled lol my mistake :joy:

i think a better solution for the vfx is to put it in replicatedstorage so its cleaner and way easier to access instead of putting it in the hitcube

#81

if they get put in replicatedstorage then how will they appear on the player?

its the same thing by cloning it like Lets say u put the light1 and light2 particles in replicatedStorage then

when u clone it, it would be like
local Light1 = ReplicatedStorage.Light1:Clone()

When I try this it clones Light1 a lot when I equip/unequip but names like half of the clones “Light2” even though it’s just the same particle emitter.

maybe because you didnt set light2 to replicatedstorage.light2:Clone()
honesty you dont have to do this because this is up to your personal preference
