Particle not appearing

I cannot figure out why a single particle doesn’t appear

The image exists and is public, its not transparent, its texture is rendered onto the particle, and yet it wont appear, and I cannot fathom why.

Here’s the code:

local emitter = script.Parent
local fire = emitter.Fire
local smoke = emitter.Smoke
local letter = emitter.Letter -- original template emitter

local letters = {
	A = "rbxassetid://160416816",
	B = "rbxassetid://160416981",
	K = "rbxassetid://160551789",
	L = "rbxassetid://160551931",
	O = "rbxassetid://160552368",
	M = "rbxassetid://160552160",
	exclamationMark = "rbxassetid://16933997761"
}


-- utility function to spawn a letter particle
local function spawnLetter(texture, rotation)
	emitter.Rotation = Vector3.new(emitter.Rotation.X, emitter.Rotation.Y, rotation)
	
	local clone = letter:Clone()
	clone.Parent = emitter.Attachment
	clone.Texture = texture
	clone.Rotation = NumberRange.new(rotation, rotation)
	clone:Emit(1)

	-- optional: clean up after lifetime ends
	game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(clone, clone.Lifetime.Max + 1)
end

local function explosions(num)
	for i = 1, num do
		fire:Emit(1)
		task.wait(0.1)
	end
end

while task.wait(3) do
	local cor = coroutine.create(explosions)
	coroutine.resume(cor, 3)
	
	smoke:Emit()
	
	spawnLetter(letters["B"], 30)
	task.wait(0.05)

	spawnLetter(letters["O"], 15)
	task.wait(0.05)

	spawnLetter(letters["O"], 0)
	task.wait(0.05)

	spawnLetter(letters["M"], -15)
	task.wait(0.05)

	spawnLetter(letters["exclamationMark"], -30)
end

Does anyone know how to fix this?

does it work with a different texture/letter, rotation?

just try these to narrow down the problem..

For some reason, if i replace it with any other texture, it still doesnt appear, UNLESS the texture is linked to O, M, or !

Are there any asset delivery errors in the output? Does your ‘B’ particle render just fine in studio as a standalone ParticleEmitter?

No errors at all, and ‘B’ does work fine when on anoher emmiter
