Spawning with ParticleEmitter on player?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey developers, I was wondering if there was a way to achieve something where you spawn in with a particle, For example, I am making a Flash Game and I want any player who spawns in to have a “zap” particle effect around them or a lightning particle effect. Is this possible?

#2

It is possible, but I am not very experienced in VFX.

Just do Workspace:ChildAdded() or Player.PlayerAdded() for seeing if the player hsa joined.

Then just load the particle effect you want into workspace

It is possible, put a script inside of server script service with this code and put the particle under the script.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
repeat wait() until plr.Character ~= nil
wait(0.05)
local clone = script.["NAME OF THE PARTICLE HERE"]:Clone()
clone.Parent = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
end)

local Game = game
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")

local function OnPlayerAdded(Player)
	local function OnCharacterAdded(Character)
		task.wait()
		local Head = Character:FindFirstChild("Head") or Character:WaitForChild("Head")
		local Sparkles = Instance.new("Sparkles")
		Sparkles.Parent = Head
	end
	
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(OnCharacterAdded)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)
