I’m making retro-styled trees for one of my games. Similar to games like DOOM, I want them to be 2D and follow the camera. BillboardGuis do the job alright; they follow the camera, no matter how you rotate it.
…but this also means they’ll practically flatten onto the floor if you rotate your camera up or down.
Is there any way to make a BillboardGui–or something that works similarly to a BillboardGui–to not rotate vertically like that? I’ve recreated what I’m looking for here:
I’ve heard Beams could do something like that, but I haven’t found a way to do it that doesnt require a lot of tedious set-up (two bricks, making sure the texture is perfectly centered, sized, etc.). Are they my only option? Is there a better way?
Yeah, but they won’t follow the camera, right? I could use a script that would point them at the camera, potentially, but I fear the amount of lag once a lot of trees are added.
Unfortunately, the best you’re gonna get with it is with either SurfaceGuis or BillboardGuis. Even if you did try scripting it, it’ll just seem to be a bit impractical and a bit much for the server if you’re planning to have a lot of these trees.
