You could create a new part which would be at (or around) the player’s feet when the player walks and then parent a particle emitter to that part. You could then subsequently destroy it after a given amount of time.
but how do i do that is their a function that say if the player is walking or something
All you need to do is clone a particle emitter into your characters legs. Create a folder in Rep. Storage and then simple make a script that when your player’s is added, connect a function that clones the particle emitter into your legs.
but how do i make the position of the particle emitter in the legs
Humanoid.Running:Connect(function()
--Clone the particle, and parent it to the characters legs.
end)
so that’s all i need to do but just make the particle emitter and make the parent the legs
Precisely, however for these type of things you should go on the Developer Hub, and research HumanoidStates. They are really useful for movement.
and do i put this script in ServerScriptService
okay thank you I’ll tell if i need more help
A LocalScript, for the effects at least. Detect when the Humanoid goes into the Running state on the server, and use RemoteEvent:FireAllClients to replicate the effects to all players.
This should do the trick:
Name - WalkingParticles
Type - LocalScript
Description - Render footsteps on clients only rather than using the server’s resources.
Location - DataModel > StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts
File - WalkingParticles.lua (1.9 KB)
Script - Source
-- Services -- local Players = game:FindService("Players") -- Variables -- local Player = Players.LocalPlayer local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") local CharacterType = Humanoid.RigType local R15 = Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 local R6 = Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 -- Functions -- local function CreateParticleEmitter(Parent: Instance) local NewEmitter = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter") NewEmitter.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(0.7, 0.9) NewEmitter.Texture = "rbxassetid://129985930" NewEmitter.SpreadAngle = Vector2.new(10, 10) NewEmitter.Size = NumberSequence.new(0.3) NewEmitter.Lifetime = NumberRange.new(1) NewEmitter.EmissionDirection = "Back" NewEmitter.Enabled = false NewEmitter.Parent = Parent return NewEmitter end local function SetParticleEmitters() if CharacterType == R15 then local RightFoot = Character.RightFoot local LeftFoot = Character.LeftFoot local ParticleEmmiterRight = CreateParticleEmitter(RightFoot) local ParticleEmmiterLeft = CreateParticleEmitter(LeftFoot) return ParticleEmmiterLeft, ParticleEmmiterRight elseif CharacterType == R6 then local RightLeg = Character["Right Leg"] local LeftLeg = Character["Left Leg"] local ParticleEmmiterRight = CreateParticleEmitter(RightLeg) local ParticleEmmiterLeft = CreateParticleEmitter(LeftLeg) return ParticleEmmiterLeft, ParticleEmmiterRight end end -- Create Particle Emitters -- local ParticleLeft, ParticleRight = SetParticleEmitters() -- Connect Events -- Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(RunSpeed) if RunSpeed >= 1 then ParticleRight.Enabled = true ParticleRight.Rate = (RunSpeed * 2.5) ParticleLeft.Enabled = true ParticleLeft.Rate = (RunSpeed * 2.5) elseif RunSpeed <= 1 then ParticleRight.Enabled = false ParticleLeft.Enabled = false end end)

so do i just add this script in serverScriptService and thats it?
Add it in starter character scripts as a local script.
ok thank you so much ill tell u if i need any more help
