ParticleEmitter falls out of rthro character

Hey!
I’m making Particle Emitters appear on your hands for my game but I’ve come across a weird bug.
So for normal avatars everything works fine but for rthro ones for some reason it doesn’t give them the particleEmitters.

Here is my script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local fistParticles = ReplicatedStorage.fistParticles

--Functions
local function putParticle(particle, leftHand, rightHand)
	--Destroy old particles
	if particle.Name == "Ice" then
		if leftHand:FindFirstChild("Fire") then
			leftHand.Fire:Destroy()
			rightHand.Fire:Destroy()
		end

	elseif particle.Name == "Electro" then
		if leftHand:FindFirstChild("Ice") then
			leftHand.Ice:Destroy()
			rightHand.Ice:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	local particle1 = particle:Clone()
	local particle2 = particle:Clone()
	particle1.Parent = leftHand
	particle2.Parent = rightHand
	print(particle1.Parent.Name) --> LeftHand --> works perfectly but it doesn't appear
end

local function check(strenght, leftHand, rightHand)
	if strenght.Value >= 10 and strenght.Value <= 30 then --10 to 30
		if not leftHand:FindFirstChild(fistParticles.Fire.Name) then
			putParticle(fistParticles.Fire, leftHand, rightHand)
		end
	elseif strenght.Value >= 30 and strenght.Value <= 50 then --30 to 50
		if not leftHand:FindFirstChild(fistParticles.Ice.Name) then
			putParticle(fistParticles.Ice, leftHand, rightHand)
		end
	elseif strenght.Value >= 50 and strenght.Value <= 70 then --50 to 70
		if not leftHand:FindFirstChild(fistParticles.Electro.Name) then
			putParticle(fistParticles.Electro, leftHand, rightHand)
		end
	elseif strenght.Value >= 70 and strenght.Value <= 100 then --70 to 100
		--Not released yet
		print("Not released yet!")
	end
end

--Initialization
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		local strenght = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Strength")
		local rightHand = char:WaitForChild("RightHand")
		local leftHand = char:WaitForChild("LeftHand")
		check(strenght, leftHand, rightHand) --He just resetted, so set it up

		strenght:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
			check(strenght, leftHand, rightHand) --His strength property changed, set it up
		end)
	end)
end)

See how it doesn’t work for Rthro (dont laugh at my character, its just for testing purposes lol)

See how there is no particleEmitters on his hands.
With my normal character however, it works fine as you can see in the picture below.

I really don’t know what could cause this.
If you need additional information, just tell me.
Thank you!

Wdym? I’m testing this in studio. I did try to stop and play again, same thing happens.
Same happened with some people testing this in a real game.

#6

Try adding invisible part to players. and in that part add the particle emitter.
use weld to set that part to your hands

Ok I’ve done that, once again, it works fine with normal non-Rthro characters, but when using Rthro, the part just falls out of my character.
This might be a Roblox bug?

I have some additional information;
when printing the parent of it(

local function putParticle(particle, leftHand, rightHand)
	--Destroy old particles
	if particle.Name == "Ice" then
		if leftHand:FindFirstChild("Fire") then
			leftHand.Fire:Destroy()
			rightHand.Fire:Destroy()
		end

	elseif particle.Name == "Electro" then
		if leftHand:FindFirstChild("Ice") then
			leftHand.Ice:Destroy()
			rightHand.Ice:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	
	local particle1 = particle:Clone()
	local particle2 = particle:Clone()
	particle1.Parent = leftHand
	particle2.Parent = rightHand
	print(particle1.Parent.Name) --> LeftHand --> works perfectly but it doesn't appear
	wait(1)
	print(particle1.Parent.Name) --> LeftHand 
	wait(1)
	print(particle1.Parent.Name) --> LeftHand
end

)
It keeps printing LeftHand, even though I can’t see it in the explorer and it’s not visible.
Also, after parenting it to the LeftHands LeftGripAttachment, still not visible but printing “LeftGripAttachment”.

I don’t really want to use a set StarterCharacter just because of this. :confused:

You gotta weld it.
Advanced Roblox Scripting Tutorial #9 - Welding (Beginner to Pro 2019) - YouTube

#11

No. You dont weld ParticleEmitters. As I said, it works for non-rthro chars.

#12

I meant, weld the invisible part.

#13

I did weld the invisible part, it just fell out of the character somehow. I’m not using the invisible part version rn tho.

The invisible part version worked for normal R15 characters, but for Rthro characters it just fell out for some reason.

#14

Adding a wait(2) fixed it :no_mouth:
Looks like Rthros take very long to load in.
