Hey, im making a rng game, and i need to move all the content from my vfx folder, to the HumanoidRootPart
Anything i could do?

(Here is my code)

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local button = script.Parent
local gui = button.Parent	
local auraFolder = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("AurasT")
local auras = auraFolder:GetChildren()
local vfxfolder = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("AuraVfx")
local rollText = gui.AuraLabel
local playerInv = Instance.new("Folder")
playerInv.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer
playerInv.Name = "playerinv"

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local aura = auras[math.random(1, #auras)]
	for i=1, #auras do
		wait(.1)
		local randomAura = auras[math.random(1, #auras)]
		rollText.Text = randomAura.Name	
	end
	wait(.1)
	rollText.Text = aura.Name
	print(aura.Name)
	local gottenaura = aura:Clone()
	gottenaura.Parent = playerInv
	local auraVfx = vfxfolder:WaitForChild(gottenaura.Name, 3)
	if auraVfx then
		local vfx = auraVfx:WaitForChild("Vfx")
		local particles = auraVfx:WaitForChild("Particles")
		local text = auraVfx:WaitForChild("Text")
		local partcont = particles:GetChildren()
		local textcont = text:GetChildren()
		local vfxcont = vfx:GetChildren()
		for i=1,#partcont do
			for i2,v in pairs(partcont) do
				if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
					local newAtt = Instance.new("Attachment")
					newAtt.Name = v.Name
					newAtt.Parent = hrp
					v.Parent = newAtt
				end	
			end			
		end
		for i,v in pairs(textcont) do
			if v:IsA("BillboardGui") then
				v.Parent = char.Head
			end
		end
		print(vfxcont.Parent)
	end
end)

in the print(vfxcont.Parent) line, i got nil in my console, so that didn’t work…

So you want to parent all the stuff in the vfx folder into the rootPart?
Just make a for loop to loop through all the children, then clone the thing and parent it to the root

i didnt understand, can you give me a code sample?

4 
for _, child in pairs(vfxFolder:GetChildren()) do
     child:Clone().Parent = hrp
end

Something like that
