"If" Statement not being read

FireBlaze8472 · July 7, 2023, 7:35pm

What do you want to achieve? I’m making a movement system for Chica in my FNAF game. I want it so when the game starts she moves off the stage into the dining room
What is the issue? To get her to move off the stage into the dining room, I use an “if” statement checking where her HumanoidRootPart’s position is. If she is on the stage, she moves to the dining room. But for whatever reason, it doesn’t work even when the statement is obviously true.
What solutions have you tried so far? I tried fixing it for hours. Too many to list.

At the beginning of the game, her HumanoidRootPart is at cam1A, but it still doesn’t work. I don’t understand why and it’s very frustrating. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. (Note: this is just a sample to demonstrate my code but I determined that this is the problem because I tested everything else to make sure it works)

local moveableCameras = {
   cam1A = Vector3.new(0.7, 6.92, -65.9)
}

if HRP.Position == moveableCameras.cam1A then
	print("works")
end

It’s very unlikely that the HRP’s position will exactly match that position. Any physics acting on the HRP, for example, will move it away, and even if it’s off by the tiniest amount this will not match. You might want to perform a magnitude check instead of a direct equality between Vector3s, alternatively Vector3 has FuzzyEq for this purpose aswell, you can for fuzzy equality instead of direct equality.

I’m pretty sure that’s why your if statement isn’t passing, but perhaps there’s more to the situation.

I use the same system for Bonnie in my game and it works fine.

FireBlaze8472 · July 7, 2023, 7:41pm

I’ll look at the FuzzyEq thing, thanks for the suggestion

FireBlaze8472 · July 7, 2023, 7:48pm

Actually, the HumanoidRootPart is anchored and there aren’t any other physics acting on it.

kaizenmarcell · July 7, 2023, 7:48pm

In this code: HRP.Position == moveableCameras.cam1A you need to also check the position of the cam1A. Right now you’re just checking if the instance even exists.

So it would be like this: HRP.Position == moveableCameras.cam1A.Position

FireBlaze8472 · July 7, 2023, 7:50pm

Got this in the output: “Position is not a valid member of Vector3 - Server - ChicaScript:90”

kaizenmarcell · July 7, 2023, 7:52pm

Oh yeah sorry I forgot your position was a Vector3 value in a table, I thought it was an instance.

I think your problem is the one @CompilerError mentioned, you would just anchor the HRP which you could do if the animatronic doesn’t have any animation.

FireBlaze8472 · July 7, 2023, 7:53pm

All the HumanoidRootPart’s of my animatronics are anchored and they animate fine; I don’t need them to walk or anything, just pose like in the actual game

kaizenmarcell · July 7, 2023, 7:57pm

Okay maybe the poses alter the position of the HRP.

The smartest thing I can think of that you can do is just to make a local storing the position that the HRP has been teleported to.

You could make a local function called Teleport() or something similar that will put a local Vector3 value called ‘chicaPos’ to the position and then teleport the HRP to there as well.

Then you could simply do: if chicaPos == moveableCameras.cam1A then

FireBlaze8472 · July 7, 2023, 7:59pm

I checked if the animations altered the position like an hour ago. I’ll check again.

FireBlaze8472 · July 7, 2023, 8:00pm

No change. Also I just realized if that was the case Bonnie wouldn’t be working.

kaizenmarcell · July 7, 2023, 8:02pm

Could you send over your code so I can look into it?

FireBlaze8472 · July 7, 2023, 8:03pm

Hold on, i’m trying something rn

The issue may potentially be because of lines like these:

if HRP.Position == moveableCameras.cam1A then

Sometimes, unlike integers and boolean values, equating vector values may not be exact and have issues. Have you tried something along the lines of:

local function checkIfNear(position1, position2, margin)
	margin = margin or 0.1  -- change this around if needed
	return (position1 - position2).Magnitude < margin
end

if checkIfNear(HRP.Position, moveableCameras.cam1A) then

kaizenmarcell · July 7, 2023, 8:21pm

First off I highly recommend you make just one function for all the ‘CamMove’, as making a new function for each cam ruins the point of even having a function. So here’s an example:

local function moveAnimatronic(pos, orientation)
	if pos and orientation then
		HRP.Position = pos
		HRP.Orientation = orientation
	end
end

-Where you obviously just use the ‘moveableCameras’ table for the pos and just do a Vector3.new(x,x,x) as the orientation. Or you could implement the orientation in the table as well.

I think you should try making sure that the HRP is exactly the same position as the one you’re checking, and if that doesn’t work then make some kind of ‘system’ with just a local variable like I mentioned above. Because that would 100% work.
