This girl would like to beg for assistance on a script. She's looking for a script that she can place in a wearable item and have it emit a trail of particals as she moves. Anyone have a script for this?

A generic particle script can be found here:

but one would need to manually tweak the parameters for desired effect. There's free 'particle generator' products on slExchange marketplace, ranging from free to expensive... that make this tweaking much easier, and provide ready-to-use scripts.

There are paw prints scripts out there as well that work pretty good for this sort off thing.

Or are you looking for a trail of particle emmiters.
