Making players immortal until they move

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You see it all the time in roblox gun games and I want to recreate this for my game. When a player spawns in, I want them to be completely unkillable by other players. I have looked on google for a tutorial, and had no luck. Thanks to anyone who knows how to do this and can help me out! :slight_smile:

(I also want the player to be partly transparent in their unkillable state if that isn’t asking for too much!)

There’s this older item:
ForceField | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Pretty sure you could modify one of those scrlipts to make the Force Field work if the player is still inside a certain area.

It’s not a specific space that the player spawns in, (bc players spawn randomly over the map) rather not killing them until they start moving. ngl, im pretty bad at scripting so I don’t know how to do that. something to do with userinputservice idk lol

So instead of just a timer setup you could make a check to see if the player has moved, then when they do move give them a few seconds with the timer so other players don’t immediately get a chance to spawn kill.
Always try the search bar up top as well as Google.
I used the Search bar with the term ‘check if player moved’ and got a few results with some of them showing as Solved. You can try using the Force Field page scripts with the other kinds of scripts to give the effect you want.

You could parent a ForceField object to a player’s character, then connect a function with the Heartbeat property of RunService to constantly check the player’s PrimaryPart position. Let me know if that helps!

This is probably overcomplicated since I’m not a very good scripter but you could do “repeat(set player health to 100) until w or a or s or d buttons are pushed”

I don’t know Lua so I can’t tell you how to write that in the syntax but I hope this helps.

Add an invisible Forcefield, or keep it visible if you like, upon CharacterAdded. Remove it when MoveDirection is set in the Humanoid. You should also only let guns work once you move.

game:GetService("Players").CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
	local Forcefield = Instance.new("Forcefield")
	Forcefield.Visible = false
	Forcefield.Parent = char

	char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Changed:Connect(function(property)
		if property == "MoveDirection" then
			char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Changed:Disconnect()
			task.wait(5)
			Forcefield:Destroy()
			--enable weapons here
		end
	end
end

The code is made on my phone and untested, and it’s currently unsage to test as my laptop fan died.

EDIT: Apparently someone else posted code similar to mine while I was typing. Theirs looks better anyway lol

Hey DevStar! Let me know if this work.

-- ServerScript
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		local ForceField = Instance.new("ForceField")
		ForceField.Visible = true
		ForceField.Parent = Character
		Character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Once(function()
			ForceField:Destroy()
		end)
	end)
end)
