Particle emmiter ripple effect

[ninjanerd601 (dux_ne)]

so I made a foor fountain with particle emmiter and I want to make a ripple effect but going from the inside to outside then inside again

this is how it looks like

basically the particle emmiter in the inner part is enabled then disable after some time then go to the second layer then do the same

in this pattern

(starts from red then go to blue on rainbow patter)

this is how it looks like so far

the problem is they dont go at the same time making the particles go at a random order

Script

local fountain = script.Parent

for i, v in pairs(fountain:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
		v.Enabled = false
	end
end

task.wait()

while wait(0.3) do
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.A:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			v.Enabled = true
			wait(0.2)
			v.Enabled = false
		end
	end
	wait(0.3)
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.B:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			v.Enabled = true
			wait(0.2)
			v.Enabled = false
		end
	end
	wait(0.3)
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.C:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			v.Enabled = true
			wait(0.2)
			v.Enabled = false
		end
	end
	wait(0.3)
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.D:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			v.Enabled = true
			wait(0.2)
			v.Enabled = false
		end
	end
	wait(0.3)
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.E:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			v.Enabled = true
			wait(0.2)
			v.Enabled = false
		end
	end
end

explorer:

(A - inner, E - outer)

Someone help me with this, thanks

You just need to remove pairs in all of them so they are consistent.

Or replace pairs with ipairs.

[ninjanerd601 (dux_ne)]

its still the same with ipairs and without it

[PosFind (lobotomy)]

The for loop is waiting 0.3, then moving on the to the next ParticleEmitter, so they won’t happen all at once. You could use coroutines.
Also, at some points you’re using task.wait() and then wait()?? Please stick with task.wait().

-- this is probably not performant because of the insane amounts of coroutines generated.

local fountain = script.Parent

for i, v in pairs(fountain:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
		v.Enabled = false
	end
end

task.wait()

while task.wait(0.3) do
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.A:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			coroutine.wrap(function()
				v.Enabled = true
				task.wait(0.2)
				v.Enabled = false
			end)
		end
	end
	task.wait(0.3)
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.B:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			coroutine.wrap(function()
				v.Enabled = true
				task.wait(0.2)
				v.Enabled = false
			end)
		end
	end
	task.wait(0.3)
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.C:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			coroutine.wrap(function()
				v.Enabled = true
				task.wait(0.2)
				v.Enabled = false
			end)
		end
	end
	task.wait(0.3)
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.D:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			coroutine.wrap(function()
				v.Enabled = true
				task.wait(0.2)
				v.Enabled = false
			end)
		end
	end
	task.wait(0.3)
	for i, v in pairs(fountain.E:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
			coroutine.wrap(function()
				v.Enabled = true
				task.wait(0.2)
				v.Enabled = false
			end)
		end
	end
end

oh I got it running, I used

local sprinkler = coroutine.wrap(function()
	v.Enabled = true
	task.wait(0.2)
	v.Enabled = false
end)
sprinkler()
