Filling gap for walls in live-game

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Well, basically I’m working on a wall placement system but I don’t want to use cylinders to fix these gaps, I want to use a normal part that works as a fill like the Stravant’s gap filler plugin does work.

This is an example of what I want to achieve in live-game:

The only reference that I have is the blue dot which is the intersection between these walls

Gap filling struggles

To do this, you can create a new part that is positioned where your blue dot is marked.
If you rotate it on a 45 degree angle and use some Pythagoras to find the length, it should work the same as GapFill. :triangular_ruler:

You totally right! I will try with your solution if the the current method that is by lerping the edges does not work.

Well, it worked but I don’t have a way to determine if the wall that needs to fill the gap in the front or back position.

Bumping topic, I still need a solution :frowning:

I got this as I don’t have any way to determine if the position is back or front

Well, finally solved it with, this is the source code:

local Polls = workspace.Polls
local WallPart = Instance.new("Part")
WallPart.Anchored = true

--

while task.wait() do
	workspace.Walls:ClearAllChildren()

	for i = 1, (#Polls:GetChildren() - 1) do
		
		local CurrentPoll: BasePart = Polls[i]
		local NextPoll: BasePart = Polls[i+1]
		
		local CurrentWall = WallPart:Clone()
		CurrentWall.Parent = workspace.Walls
		--CurrentWall.Transparency = 0.5
		
		local Distance = (CurrentPoll.Position - NextPoll.Position).Magnitude
		local NewCFrame = CFrame.lookAt(CurrentPoll.Position, NextPoll.Position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -(Distance / 2))
		
		CurrentWall.Size = Vector3.new(0.5, 5, Distance)
		CurrentWall.CFrame = NewCFrame * CFrame.new(0, 2.5, 0)
		
		if NextPoll and i < (#Polls:GetChildren() - 1) then
			do
				local NextDistance = (NextPoll.Position - Polls[i+2].Position).Magnitude
				local NextCFrame = CFrame.lookAt(
					NextPoll.Position, Polls[i+2].Position
				) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -(NextDistance / 2))
				
				local CurrentEdge = CurrentWall.CFrame * CFrame.new(0.25, 0, -(Distance / 2))
				local NextEdge = NextCFrame * CFrame.new(0.25, 2.5, (NextDistance / 2))
				
				--
				
				local Intersection = CurrentEdge:Lerp(NextEdge, 0.5)
				local Gap = WallPart:Clone()
				Gap.Size = Vector3.new(0.25, 5, (CurrentEdge.Position - NextEdge.Position).Magnitude)
				Gap.CFrame = Intersection * CFrame.new(-0.125, 0, 0)
				Gap.Parent = workspace.Walls
			end
			
			do
				local NextDistance = (NextPoll.Position - Polls[i+2].Position).Magnitude
				local NextCFrame = CFrame.lookAt(
					NextPoll.Position, Polls[i+2].Position
				) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -(NextDistance / 2))

				local CurrentEdge = CurrentWall.CFrame * CFrame.new(-0.25, 0, -(Distance / 2))
				local NextEdge = NextCFrame * CFrame.new(-0.25, 2.5, (NextDistance / 2))

				--

				local Intersection = CurrentEdge:Lerp(NextEdge, 0.5)
				local Gap = WallPart:Clone()
				Gap.Size = Vector3.new(0.25, 5, (CurrentEdge.Position - NextEdge.Position).Magnitude)
				Gap.CFrame = Intersection * CFrame.new(0.125, 0, 0)
				Gap.Parent = workspace.Walls
			end
		end
		
	end
	
	--break;
end

If anybody reading this post needs help with understanding the code, I will be open to help!
