I think what he means is that your solution is flawed.
Not in the sense that it won’t work but in the sense that, not to be offensive to Rainzyyy (not my intention at all) or anything, but if he hasn’t already explored some of the basic solutions we have listed here (like setting gravity in a LS), how do you expect him to be able to follow suit with your solution?
As @emojipasta said too, introducing BodyForces, BodyMovers, things like that make managing “gravity” difficult and some aspects of anti-fly exploits difficult to include. Setting workspace.Gravity is easier and offers pretty similar levels of security (and as he mentioned, possibly even more).
Here is an example, have this as a local script inside the part you want to be touched:
local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
workspace.Gravity = 50 -- ur gravity here
end
end)
Local scripts don’t execute in a part in workspace unless it’s a descendant of the character. The LocalScript has to be in a place like StarterCharacterScripts or the script has to be a server script with a remove event attached.
I don’t know about the consequences of repeatedly setting the gravity, but a script like that should have a simple check to ensure it only runs once (if gravity ~= 50 then gravity = 50 end)
I said your argument of “you can use them to apply any amount of force in any direction. You can’t use workspace.Gravity to reverse the force anyhow” (which equates to saying only BodyForces will allow OP to define a negative gravity) is nonsensical, since negative gravity (=> gravity/“a force” pointing upward) doesn’t exist.
local Plr = workspace:WaitForChild(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
local Mass = 0
local BodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
BodyForce.Parent = Plr:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local AllParts = Plr:GetChildren()
for index = 1, #AllParts do
if AllParts[index]:IsA("BasePart") then
Mass += AllParts[index]:GetMass()
end
end
BodyForce.Force = Vector3.new(0, (workspace.Gravity * Mass)/2, 0)
While the end result may look almost the same, the performance cost using the depreciated body movers is much higher than simply changing the gravity.
Really you should be using the new constraint movers however they move relative to the player so if they tilt they will likely be dragged slightly in that direction.
LocalScripts don’t run under non-client areas (like the workspace).
Even if it didn’t work, it would trigger the gravity-setting code even if the LocalPlayer wasn’t the one who triggered it, since it only looks for any generic Humanoid and not the LocalPlayer’s own one.
Ah yes I forgot we are trying to access the workspace, I’m slacking here.
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part")
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if workspace.Gravity ~= 10 then
workspace.Gravityy = 10 -- ur gravity here
end
end
end)
Better solution here, yet I’m unsure about having a bad side of changing the gravity everytime its touched, but I guess that’s better since we have multiple parts touching.
@Rainzyyy Try having this as a local script inside PlayerStarterScripts, should work perfectly.
local Gravity = workspace.Gravity assigns the value of the gravity to the variable, not the reference. Your script is just changing your own variable, doing nothing. If you replace the Gravity with workspace.Gravity throughout it will work perfectly for OP.
This returns a value, not a property. Changing it by doing Gravity = 10 won’t change the Gravity property of the workspace but rather the value of the variable. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, it would trigger the gravity-modifier on all clients since it doesn’t check that the humanoid in question belongs to the LocalPlayer.
Edit:
note: emojipasta already pointed out the first issue
Could you point out where I said “Negative gravity” in any of my messages? By reversing a force I mean many other applications other than gravity. You can have further control over your character just not for gravity using the same force. This argument is pointless so Ill move out.
This changes the gravity for everyone, I want it to only change for the person who touched the part.
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part")
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if workspace.Gravity ~= 10 then
workspace.Gravityy = 10 -- ur gravity here
end
end
end)
Put this in a LocalScript in StarterCharacterScripts:
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part")
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit:IsDescendantOf(script.Parent) then
if workspace.Gravity ~= 10 then
workspace.Gravity = 10
end
end
end)
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part")
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if (hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")) and (hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")) then
if workspace.Gravity ~= 100 then
workspace.Gravity = 100-- your gravity here
end
end
end)
