What do you want to achieve?
I want the player character to be anchored when they get “tagged” by another player. -
What is the issue?
The issue is to do with replication, on every other client and the server the character is anchored in the same spot, however for the anchored player, they appear in a different position if they were moving when they got tagged.
-
What solutions have you tried so far?
I’ve searched for solutions and asked for advice from other devs, so far I have tried anchoring on both the server and the client side, I’ve tried only anchoring the HumanoidRootPart, I’ve tried disabling AutomaticScalingEnabled in the humanoid, I’ve messed around with changing network ownership and I’ve also tried “correcting” the HumanoidRootPart CFrame by telling the local player to move it’s CFrame to the position that the Server sees it’s CFrame via a remote event (worked in some use cases but not in all positions and was also very clunky)
below I’ll put the parts of the Code that I think are relevant, if you think I should post the full code (150+ lines) I will.
Module in ServerScriptService:
local function anchorPlayer(plr : Player, anchorStatus : boolean)
if not char then
--Find char
char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end
if char then
--Anchor children
for _, obj in char:GetChildren() do
if obj:IsA("BasePart") then
obj.Anchored = anchorStatus
end
end
end
print(char:GetPrimaryPartCFrame().Position)
end
------------------------------
local function iceCubeProperties(plr : Player, anchorStatus : boolean , transparency : number, canCollide : boolean)
local iceClone = char:FindFirstChild("IceCube")
if iceClone then
--Can add a tween here to give the icecube a melt effect
--iceClone.Anchored = anchorStatus
iceClone.Transparency = transparency
iceClone.CanCollide = canCollide
else
warn("Icecube is not cloned in " ..plr.Name)
end
end
-----------------------
tagFunctions.tagBegin = function(plr : Player)
char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
for _, obj in char:GetDescendants() do
if obj:IsA("BasePart") then
print("Gonna check now for touches")
checkForTouch(plr, obj)
elseif obj:IsA("Animator") then
animator = obj
end
end
end
---------------------
tagFunctions.iceCubeClone = function(plr : Player)
if iceCube then
local iceClone = iceCube:Clone()
iceClone.Anchored = false
iceClone.CanCollide = false
if not char then
char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end
--Ice clone properties on start of round
local weld : WeldConstraint = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Parent = iceClone
weld.Part0 = iceClone
weld.Part1 = char.PrimaryPart
iceClone.Transparency = 1
iceClone.CFrame = char.PrimaryPart.CFrame
iceClone.Parent = char
else
warn("Icecube not found and is not cloned")
end
end
----------------------
tagFunctions.tagEnable = function(plr : Player)
local humanoid : Humanoid = char.Humanoid
--humanoid.AutomaticScalingEnabled = false
if tagged then
--tagFunctions.hrpAnchor(true, plr)
--tagFunctions.iceCubeClone()
iceCubeProperties(plr, true, 0.5, true)
anchorPlayer(plr, true)
--playerTagged:FireClient(plr, hrp.CFrame)
--animController.animPause(plr)
end
--// TEMPORARY - REPLACE WITH DISABLING WHEN THE ROUND ENDS \\--
task.delay(5, function()
tagFunctions.tagDisable(plr)
end)
end
Server script in ServerScriptService:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local tagFunctions = require(script.TagFunctions)
Teams.Runners.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
print(plr.Name .." Has been added to the " ..plr.Team.Name .." team" )
tagFunctions.tagBegin(plr)
tagFunctions.iceCubeClone(plr)
end)
Forgive me for the large amount of code 
This is my first post on the Developer Forum so if I structured something wrong or there is a way I can improve my posts in the future then please let me know.
Thanks.
