Im really new to scripting so bare with me here… The way this works is a player picks up a tool on the map, and needs to deliver the tool to a part. Once the player touches the part, it takes the tool (“CD”) out of the players inventory. The part then plays a sound, and releases a particle emitter for 40 seconds; (duration of the sound) and is then disabled.
The problem I have here, Is that the particle emitter is doing it’s job at disabling itself after 40 seconds using the “wait” function, but the player can start up the particle emitter again, if the player touches the part. This is exactly what I don’t want it to do. I just need the particle emitter to do it’s job for 40 seconds, and never appear again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
