Enabled

Property of: Smoke

Value Type: bool

Description:

The Enabled property, much like ParticleEmitter/Enabled, determines whether smoke particles are emit. Any particles already emit will continue to render until their lifetime expires. This property is useful for keeping pre-made smoke effects off until they are needed later. Since smoke particles are destroyed when the Smoke object’s Instance/Parent is set to nil, this property is useful in allowing existing particles the opportunity to expire before destroying the Fire object altogether. See the function below.

local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local part = script.Parent
function stopSmoke(smoke)
	smoke.Enabled = false -- No more new particles
	Debris:AddItem(smoke, 10) -- Remove the object after a delay (after existing particles have expired)
end
stopSmoke(part.Smoke)

Code Samples

Add Smoke to All Fire

This code sample adds a Smoke object to every Fire object in the Workspace. It does this by using a recursive search.

			
				Add Smoke to All Fire

				Expected Output
			
				Expand
				
			local function recurseForFire(object)
	-- Check if we found a Fire object that has no Smoke
	if object:IsA("Fire") and not object.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Smoke") then
		-- Create a smoke effect for this fire
		local smoke = Instance.new("Smoke")
		smoke.Color = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
		smoke.Opacity = 0.15
		smoke.RiseVelocity = 4
		smoke.Size = object.Size / 4
		smoke.Parent = object.Parent
	end
	-- Continue search for Fire objects
	for _, child in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do
		recurseForFire(child)
	end
end
recurseForFire(workspace)
		
			When run, you should see every Fire object in the workspace have a Smoke sibling object (if it did not have one before).
