I changed the original Roblox sword script and made it so that it would put a particle emitter into the set part of the player that dies from the sword.
But, it doesn’t work as intended.
local db = true
function Blow(Hit)
if not Hit or not Hit.Parent or not CheckIfAlive() or not ToolEquipped then
return
end
local RightArm = Character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm") or Character:FindFirstChild("RightHand")
if not RightArm then
return
end
local RightGrip = RightArm:FindFirstChild("RightGrip")
if not RightGrip or (RightGrip.Part0 ~= Handle and RightGrip.Part1 ~= Handle) then
return
end
local character = Hit.Parent
if character == Character then
return
end
if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health <= 0 then
db = false
local pe = game.Workspace.Part.Attachment.contrast
pe.Parent = character.FindFirstChild("Torso")
wait(1)
db = true
end
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if not humanoid or humanoid.Health == 0 then
return
end
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if player and (player == Player or IsTeamMate(Player, player)) then
return
end
UntagHumanoid(humanoid)
TagHumanoid(humanoid, Player)
humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
end
This is the Hit part of the script, which in the “db” part, should insert a particle emitter into the player’s torso, and only play for a set amount of time.
(pe = ParticleEmitter, “contrast” is the particle)
If contrast is the particle you gonna add to the torso, and seems like you only have one in Workspace, you should Clone() it, not just parent it, otherwise you would lose your particle after the first dead player
local pe = game.Workspace.Part.Attachment.contrast:Clone()
pe.Parent = character.FindFirstChild("Torso")
Add ways of debugging too
if game.Workspace.Part.Attachment:FindFirstChild("contrast") then
warn("particle found")
else
warn("no particle")
end
or this:
if character.FindFirstChild("Torso") then
warn("theres actually a torso")
else
warn("no torso found")
end
You mention nothing about the Output, theres no errors at all? you should put attention to Output console to see whats the error, to fix it
This is the only thing I get now after a few fixes, but no particle shows up after killing the dummy/player
if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health <= 0 then
db = false
local pe = game.Workspace.Part.Attachment
if game.Workspace.Part.Attachment:FindFirstChild("contrast") then
pe:Clone()
warn("particle found")
else
warn("no particle")
end
pe.Parent = character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
if character:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
warn("theres actually a torso")
else
warn("no torso found")
end
wait(1)
db = true
end
The examples I gave you for debugging are not needed for the code to run, I was just giving examples on how you can find the issues by debugging.
Its not
local pe = game.Workspace.Part.Attachment
pe:Clone()
its:
local pe = game.Workspace.Part.Attachment.contrast:Clone()
pe.Parent = character.FindFirstChild("Torso")
Those lines, take the particle called “contrast”, Clone it, then store the clone into a variable called “pe”, now pe is the thing you want to parent to the Torso
Scratch that, I forgot to enable the initial particle, therefore it shows up.
But, the reason it was disabled, is cause I wanted it to emit a certain amount of particles when the player is killed. (For example, look for the torso once, if it is found, stop looking for the torso, and emit x number of particles.)
Enabled or not, you will lose the particle after the first kill. Its mandatory you clone it.
You have one particle, when Dummy dies, you take that particle place it in dummy torso, etc.
Torso is deleted because player died, particle in that torso is lost.
Next kill, your script looks for the particle, no particle at all, script fails
Well, I got it to… sort of work.
It’s a bit random, sometimes it doesn’t make the particles work if I go past the torso too quickly, and it constantly emits if it hits the torso again, not sure how to make it a one-time thing, or only have a certain amount emitted at a time.
Or, in general, just making it so when the humanoid health is at 0, it only does specific tasks, not ones that can happen due to one thing, like freezing the player and making the particles emit with a count of 20.
if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health == 0 then
local pe = game.Workspace.Part.Attachment.contrast:Clone()
pe.Enabled = false
if character:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
pe.Parent = character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
pe.Enabled = true
wait(0.3)
pe.Enabled = false
end
end
Yeah, idk if OP has a specific setting in which reading Torso or whatever part works for OP, just adding debugs to OP’s script so can find the reason for the issue.
Ofc checking HRP its way better, but I think OP is looking for the solution of a different issue not exactly improving the code.
The issue its just the logic and implementation.
