I’ve tried alot of scripts and tutorials but nothing will work I can’t get the death particles to play when my player dies so can someone please help me solve my problem. Here’s my script

public class youdead : MonoBehaviour
{
public ParticleSystem part;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    
}
void OnTriggerEnter2D()
{
   Destroy (this.gameObject);
   part.Play();

}

}

From your script the reason your part.Play(); doesn’t work is because there is no script to call it, your script ends at Destroy(this.gameObject);. You would either need to call it from another script or wait for it to play before destroying your game object. A very basic way to do this is:

void OnTriggerEnter2D()
{
    part.Play();
    StartCoroutine(KillPlayer());
}

IEnumerator KillPlayer()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);  //seconds being how long the particle plays for
    Destroy(this.gameObject);
}
