Emit on Key

Setup

Initialization

First, we need to initialize the emit module on each client. The code below assumes you have the module inside ReplicatedStorage like this:

Module Setup

ReplicatedStorage
- ForgeVFX

You can place this code inside a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts.

forge_init.client.luau


local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
 
local vfx = require(ReplicatedStorage.ForgeVFX)
 
vfx.init()

Detecting key presses

The code below emits the ‘Explosion’ effect inside the ‘VFX’ folder in ReplicatedStorage.

forge_init.client.luau


local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
 
local Effects = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("VFX")
 
local EMIT_KEY = Enum.KeyCode.E
 
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, ignore)
  if ignore or input.KeyCode ~= EMIT_KEY then
    return
  end
 
  -- Now emit whatever effects you want
  vfx.emit(Effects.Explosion)
end)
