How to put particles on humanoid's arms and Head?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello devs, i am a new developer that just learned lua, and i was trying to put some particles on humanoid’s Arms And Head. But I dont know how to do it.

Im doing this By the OnTouched Event

My Character is R6

This is a problem that ive been trying to solve for 1 week.

The script below is from my last topic that was “Solved”

//Services
local ServerStorage = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”)

	--//Variables
	local Particle115 = ServerStorage.kills115
	local Character = script.Parent

	--//Tables
	local ValidParts = {
		"Right Arm"
	}

	--//Functions
	for i, child in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
		print(child)
		if ValidParts[child.Name] then
			print("found in table")
			local Particle = Particle115:Clone()
			Particle.Parent = child
		end
	end

The problem is when i touch, the script prints the “child” but doesnt print the “found in table”
also, the script doesnt give any errors, and i cant fix that.

Any Help will be really helpful!

“Right Arm” is just a string value in the table not an index. you need to replace it with [“Right Arm”] = true or something like that

You say that this is a touched event, but I don’t see touched anywhere. Is this inside of a touched script? If so, on line 3 you set Character to script.Parent instead of setting Character to the parent of what hit the script’s parent.
Example:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(funtion(hit)
local Character = hit.Parent
end)

Edit: One thing about your table: you checking if theres a key in your table called “Right Arm”. There are only keys in a table if the table is a dictionary. Either convert you table into a dictionary or use table.find()

Example:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(funtion(hit)
	local Character = hit.Parent
	for i,v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
		if table.find(ValidParts, v.Name) == nil then continue end
		print("found in table")
		local Particle = Particle115:Clone()
		Particle.Parent = child
	end
end)

Still din’t work, it do the same thing, prints but nothing happens

Also, the script has some errors.

–funtion

–child (the script says child does not exist)

--//Variables
	local Particle115 = ServerStorage.kills115
	local Character = script.Parent

	--//Tables
	local ValidParts = {
		"Right Arm"
	}

	--//Functions
local function findStringInTable(tbl, str)
    for _, element in pairs(tbl) do
        if (element == str) then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

	for i, child in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
		print(child)
		if findStringInTable(ValidParts, child.Name)  then
			print("found in table")
			local Particle = Particle115:Clone()
			Particle.Parent = child
		end
	end

maybe something like this would work? @tutizillig

Have you tested your particle emitter on a part first to see if the particle emitter actually works?

#9

Why did you never say this before? :sob:

Yes, and it works, Also tested in a dummy too.

#11

Oh, im sorry, i forgot to say that since the script was only printing Weld, TouchInterest and the
name of the script. @CipherFunctions

#12

still din’t work, i dont know what to do anymore. =(

#13

What does the script currently print?

#14

Weld

TouchInterest

Particle (Name of the script)

#15

As i said in my previous post, this is likely because you set character to script.Parent instead of hit.Parent

#16

It prints the following for this code?

Weld
TouchInterest
Particle
#17

What’s hit.Parent? Where’s hit defined?

#18

in the op they said they were using with an onTouched event, which comes with hit.

#19

I didn’t see that. @tutizillig Please provide full code for context.

#20

Yes, is this was supposed to happen?

#21

No. Please give us your full script.
