Hi, can someone please help me get a model to attack something? Right now it attacks 1 thing and when the thing dies, it keeps flying towards it and shooting and will not attack the second thing. Code:
local function getTargets()
for v,t in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
local enemyPlane = t:FindFirstAncestor("JapFighter")
local enemyBomber = t:FindFirstAncestor("JapBomber")
local enemyHeavy = t:FindFirstAncestor("JapHeavy")
if enemyPlane or enemyBomber or enemyHeavy or t.Name == "JapFighter" or t.Name == "JapBomber" then
t.Parent = targets
end
end
end
local function attack()
getTargets()
local distance = 999999999999999
local target = nil
local distance1 = nil
for i,v in pairs(targets:GetChildren()) do
distance1 = (script.Parent.hemalurgicSpike.Position - v.Position).magnitude
if distance > distance1 then
target = v
distance = distance1
local origincframe = engine.BodyGyro.cframe
local dir = (engine.Position - target.Position).unit
local spawnPos = engine.Position
local pos = spawnPos + dir
engine:findFirstChild("BodyGyro").maxTorque = Vector3.new(10000,10000,10000)
engine:findFirstChild("BodyGyro").cframe = CFrame.new(pos, pos+dir)
shoot(target)
end
end
end
I think you need to order the targets from shortest to longest distance in a table beforehand. There will be a case where when the for loop first selects an object that is the closest distance, the target will not change and thus the model will always go to that object because it is the closest.
So maybe like
function orderTargets(relativePos, allTargets) --Bubble sorting
for i = 1, #allTargets do
for j = 1, #allTargets - 1 do
if (relativePos-allTargets[i].Position).magnitude
< (relativePos-allTargets[i + 1].Position).magnitude then
local temp = allTargets[i]
allTargets[i] = allTargets[i+1]
allTargets[i+1] = temp
end
end
end
return allTargets
end
local function attack()
local orderedTargets = orderTargets(script.Parent.hemalurgicSpike.Position,targets:GetChildren())
local target = nil
for i,v in pairs(orderedTargets) do
target = v
local origincframe = engine.BodyGyro.cframe
local dir = (engine.Position - target.Position).unit
local spawnPos = engine.Position
local pos = spawnPos + dir
engine:findFirstChild("BodyGyro").maxTorque = Vector3.new(10000,10000,10000)
engine:findFirstChild("BodyGyro").cframe = CFrame.new(pos, pos+dir)
shoot(target)
end
end

Alright, here is the code.
Attempted to index nil with position.
local function getTargets()
for v,t in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
local enemyPlane = t:FindFirstAncestor("JapFighter")
local enemyBomber = t:FindFirstAncestor("JapBomber")
local enemyHeavy = t:FindFirstAncestor("JapHeavy")
if enemyPlane or enemyBomber or enemyHeavy or t.Name == "JapFighter" or t.Name == "JapBomber" then
t.Parent = targets
end
end
end
local function findNearestEnemy()
getTargets()
local distance = 999999999999999
local target = nil
local distance1 = nil
for i,v in pairs(targets:GetChildren()) do
distance1 = (script.Parent.hemalurgicSpike.Position - v.Position).magnitude
if distance > distance1 then
target = v
distance = distance1
end
end
end
local function attackNearestEnemy()
local target = findNearestEnemy()
local origincframe = engine.BodyGyro.cframe
local dir = (engine.Position - target.Position).unit
local spawnPos = engine.Position
local pos = spawnPos + dir
engine:findFirstChild("BodyGyro").maxTorque = Vector3.new(10000,10000,10000)
engine:findFirstChild("BodyGyro").cframe = CFrame.new(pos, pos+dir)
if target then
shoot(target)
end
end
while true do
attackNearestEnemy()
wait(0.01)
end
@Forummer That is the primary part of the model. Here is my code. Can you please help? Right now it attacks one target before going haywire despite there having more targets to attack. Help?
@Psvita65594 I have been working on this for days. It refuses to work. My best one was when it attacked three targets before quitting. Please help
