Make player clone trail

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want it so that the player walks, and a trail of the player’s clones spawn, how would i do this? please and thank you

#2

It can probably done by creating a ParticleEmitter inside of player’s character. The Texture should be set to a link that gets user’s Appearance.

#3

can’t i just like clone the player?

#4

heres what i tried:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local frequency = 0.1 --delay between spawning clones
local killtime = 1 --how long to keep clones alive

while wait(frequency) do
spawn(function()
local myClone = Player.Character:Clone()

   --ancor the parts so they dont move
   for _,des in ipairs(myClone:GetDescendants()) do
      if des:IsA("BasePart") then
         des.Anchored = true
      end
   end

   myClone.Parent = workspace

   delay(killtime,function()
        myClone:Destroy()
   end)

end)
end

but it have a error somehow

Here is my code. Place it inside of a Script in Workspace or ServerScriptService:

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local ParticleEmitter = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter")
		ParticleEmitter.Texture = game:GetService("Players"):GetUserThumbnailAsync(player.UserId, Enum.ThumbnailType.AvatarThumbnail, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
		ParticleEmitter.Rate = 15 -- Particles per second
		ParticleEmitter.Lifetime = NumberRange.new(2, 4) -- How long the particles should be alive (min, max)
		ParticleEmitter.Size = NumberSequence.new({ NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(0, 0); NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(1, 1); }) -- The second value of the second NumberSequenceKeypoint is size
		ParticleEmitter.EmissionDirection = Enum.NormalId.Back
		ParticleEmitter.Parent = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	end)
end)

Ask more questions if you have any.

how would i make it not moving like a normal trail?

#8

Can you explain what you want more?

#9

I understand what he want, he dont want particle emitter he want the character to clone as an statue then copies the animation of the player but the animation is just freeze then delete in 1 sec so it will look like a trail of characters

#10

I will work on it and post my example in few hours.

Edit: since I can’t make it today, here’s a little tip @foxnoobkite: browse cloning character topics, loop through character clone, make everything not collide - able and (maybe) a little transparent. Also remove some character Scripts in the character clone.
