Hey guys, so lately I’ve been making a setting where you can change a sword’s excess visuals to be invisible. Unfortunately, since I can’t code very well, I’ve been unable to do so. I’ve even tried ChatGPT to help, but I still reach the same result. However, I can provide the code and hierarchy I’ve made here for you to work off of.
local button = script.Parent
local debounce = false
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local FlameSword = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FlameSword")
local FlameSwordHandle = FlameSword:WaitForChild("Handle")
local FlameSwordMesh = FlameSwordHandle:FindFirstChild("Meshes/FlameSword_Cube.006")
local FlameSwordFire = FlameSwordMesh and FlameSwordMesh:FindFirstChild("Fire")
local GuardianSword = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GuardianSword")
local GuardianSwordHandle = GuardianSword:WaitForChild("Handle")
local GuardianSwordMesh = GuardianSwordHandle:FindFirstChild("Meshes/GuardianSword_Cube.006")
local GuardianSwordAbilityParticles = GuardianSwordMesh and GuardianSwordMesh:FindFirstChild("ParticleEmitter")
print("FlameSwordFire:", FlameSwordFire)
print("GuardianSwordAbilityParticles:", GuardianSwordAbilityParticles)
local function toggleParticles()
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
if FlameSwordFire and GuardianSwordAbilityParticles then
if FlameSwordFire.Enabled or GuardianSwordAbilityParticles.Enabled then
FlameSwordFire.Enabled = false
GuardianSwordAbilityParticles.Enabled = false
else
FlameSwordFire.Enabled = true
GuardianSwordAbilityParticles.Enabled = true
end
end
wait(0.5)
debounce = false
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(toggleParticles)
This script seems like it is only affecting the tool you have stored in ReplicatedStorage, not necessarily any other instance of it actually existing in the workspace where it would render.
I could do that, but I also want it so that selecting off beforehand would affect the tool before it comes into their hand. Essentially changing the storage of the tool.
I got rid of the stuff about the Guardian Sword as I scrapped it.
Here’s the code I put in (didn’t work):
local button = script.Parent
local debounce = false
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local FlameSword = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FlameSword")
local function toggleParticles(sword)
local handle = sword:FindFirstChild("Handle")
if handle then
local flameMesh = handle:FindFirstChild("Meshes/FlameSword_Cube.006")
if flameMesh then
local fire = flameMesh:FindFirstChild("Fire")
if fire then
fire.Enabled = not fire.Enabled
end
end
end
end
local function toggleAllParticles()
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
toggleParticles(FlameSword)
-- Toggle particles for swords that players are holding or have in their backpacks
for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
-- Check the sword in the player's character
local character = player.Character
if character then
local flameSword = character:FindFirstChild("FlameSword")
if flameSword then
toggleParticles(flameSword)
end
end
-- Check the sword in the player's backpack
local backpack = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
if backpack then
local flameSword = backpack:FindFirstChild("FlameSword")
if flameSword then
toggleParticles(flameSword)
end
end
end
wait(0.5)
debounce = false
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(toggleAllParticles)
This is the code I used. Placed in a local script in starter character scripts (client sided only). It also supports multiple tool names.
-- Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-- Variables
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
-- Settings
local ToolNames = {
"Test", "Test2"
}
-- Functions
function ToggleParticles(Tool : Tool)
print("Ran")
local Handle = Tool:FindFirstChild("Handle")
if Handle ~= nil then
local Fire = Handle:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Fire")
if Fire ~= nil then
Fire.Enabled = not Fire.Enabled
end
end
end
function ToggleAllParticles()
for _, Player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
local Backpack = Player.Backpack
local Character = Player.Character
-- Going to loop through the backpack and see if any of the tools match any of the names in our ToolNames table
-- I'm going to use task.spawn so these code blocks run at the same time.
task.spawn(function()
for _,Tool in pairs(Backpack:GetChildren()) do
if table.find(ToolNames, Tool.Name) then
ToggleParticles(Tool)
end
end
end)
task.spawn(function()
for _,Tool in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
if Tool:IsA("Tool") and table.find(ToolNames, Tool.Name) then
ToggleParticles(Tool)
end
end
end)
end
end
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(ToggleAllParticles)
