Trails not showing?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m adding trails to the player’s arms when they punch. I have this module that can make effects, and all of them have been working until now. This is the code I’m using to add the trail:

		local Effect1 = effects.Trail:Clone()
		Effect1.Parent = Char["Right Arm"]
		Effect1.Position = Char["Right Arm"].Position
		local Effect2 = effects.Trail:Clone()
		Effect2.Parent = Char["Right Arm"]
		Effect2.Position = Char["Right Arm"].Position
		game.Debris:AddItem(Effect1, 1)
		game.Debris:AddItem(Effect2, 1)

I can confirm the trail attachment is being parented to the player’s arm:


It’s just not showing. When I parent the attachments to a rig’s arm in the work space and then move the arm around, the trail shows, so I’m not sure what I could possibly be doing wrong. If anyone can help I would appreciate it!

do you enable the trail in the script or is it already enabled

You are changing the position of the trail to the arm you dont need to do that if u parent it should be fine. Also check if it’s enabled and when you are destroying the trail

yeah the trail is always enabled, I checked before I destroyed it and it returned true

try offsetting the position of one attachment a little

#6

you didn’t set any attachments

#7

maybe the rotation of the attachment is a problem, it can cause this if they look at the same direction

They’re in different positions
