Client-Side Collisions

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I made a one-way platform similar to that found Super Smash Bros however the collisions work client and server-side meaning when I change the CanCollide property to true in the client, the server picks it up not allowing other players to also have the same non-CanCollide effect. Is there a way to make an object collidable for one player but not another

Setting CanCollide on on a door on client should only effect that client. (Apart from maybe a couple of unusual edge cases if the door is unanchored) It seems more likely that you’ve got a bug causing it to change on the server, or are accidentally causing it to happen on all the clients.

Orange: Detector
Red: Platform

Detector1.Touched:Connect(function(object)
	if object.Name == "Head" then 
		
		Platform1.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
		Platform1.CanCollide = true	
	end
end)

Detector1.TouchEnded:Connect(function(object)
	if object.Name == "Head" then 
		 
		Platform1.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
		Platform1.CanCollide = false
	end
end)

this is what my solution is

After messing around for a bit, I found that making sure Detector1’s event isn’t being triggered by other players’ heads worked fine.

local pl = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ch = pl.Character or pl.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Detector1 = workspace.collider
local Platform1 = workspace.changer


Detector1.Touched:Connect(function(object)
	if object == ch.Head then 
		
		Platform1.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
		Platform1.CanCollide = true	
	end
end)

Detector1.TouchEnded:Connect(function(object)
	if object == ch.Head then 
		 
		Platform1.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
		Platform1.CanCollide = false
	end
end)
