Creating a "sound indicator" sort of marker

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to be able to create a sort of “sound indicator” such as those seen in Arsenal and Fortnite.

I am unaware of how I would accomplish this. I’ve thought it through and can’t really figure out a key idea to even start with.

I’ve tried searching this up, but no results in what I actually want appear. I could be missing something, so even if it’s as simple as a link, any help would be appreciated!

what do you mean by sound indicator, like low ammo or when the gun hits somebody?

#3

The red marker as seen in the post above; The gunfire is fired from a different user and the red marker appears.

#4

Do you mean those indicators when you get damaged and the arrow points to where you got damaged from?

#5

Like that, but when someone fires a gun.

I would save the health data in run service with a variable, something like this:

rs.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
Health = playerHumanoid.Health
If Health < 100 then
Script.parent.hurtgui.Visible = true --change this to whatever you want,
end
end)

I think what I was trying to convey may have been misunderstood D:

What I meant is, how would I get the position of the player and turn that into a 2d position for the gui to be located, while maintaining a circular position?

If this doesn’t make sense just let me know btw

TargetPosition - Vector3 position of the target;
This should be done in a RunService RenderStepped signal, then after a few seconds you can disconnect the signal with Signal:Disconnect(), make sure you store the signal on a variable.

	local flatCameraCFrame = CFrame.new(Camera.CFrame.Position, Camera.CFrame.Position + Camera.CFrame.LookVector * Vector3.new(1, 0, 1))
	local pointRelativeToCamera = Camera.CFrame:PointToObjectSpace(TargetPosition)
	local unitRelativeVector = (pointRelativeToCamera).Unit
    local rotation = math.atan2(unitRelativeVector.Z, unitRelativeVector.X)
	DMGIndicator.Rotation = math.deg(rotation)

sorry- how would you replicate this across a 2d space?

#11

It already does, but in rotation, you can just place the ui in the middle of the screen

#12

It doesn’t seem to be rotating properly…

I found a post covering a similar topic, tweaked it a bit, and found the answer- thank you anyway though. :smiley:
