Code modified from @Spooks_HD video
Had to modify it to fit my system and even after that it still wasn’t working.
In the image, my pet (a snowman) is under my leg. It follows me around, but seems to look like it’s glitching, as it flashes when I move. I’m not sure how to 1. move it back so its following me and not just attached to me and 2. to rotate the model so it’s facing up right instead of on its side.
And third problem I think I might encounter after this that the snowman won’t be facing me, and it might just move at a weird angle, instead of actually facing me and walking to me.
The model is simply called ‘Pet’ and inside it there is a Union called Torso
Another shot showing the glitching (doesn’t show it, but the model is actually glitching from the bottom of the players foot, back up to around the knee area, but it’s doing so incredibly fast, so can’t get a still shot of it)
why not using an bodyposition.
it will move around smoothly, and how you calculate the position is quite easy.
just grab the cframe of the Humanoidrootpart then add cframe so it will go to the left back then do .p to grab its position.
rotation is aswell quite easy, all you do is
local X, Y, Z = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame:GetComponents()
Changed up the script to this which seems to kinda work better
local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local pet = script.Parent
local rootPart = character['HumanoidRootPart']
local part = Instance.new('Part', rootPart)
part.CanCollide = false
part.Anchored = true
part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
part.Transparency = 1
local direction = CFrame.new(part.Position, rootPart.Position).lookVector
local increment = direction * 4
while wait() do
part.CFrame = rootPart.CFrame + (direction * increment) + Vector3.new(-5, 0, 0)
part.Rotation = rootPart.Rotation + (direction * increment) + Vector3.new(-1, -2, increment)
pet.Position = part.Position
end
problems I face with this:
The snowman is rotated the wrong way, always faces away from the character.
The other problem is when it moves, it kinda ‘staggers’ instead of a smooth movement
Also, just testing with another pet (which uses multiple unions) and that doesn’t work. I’ve put the main union and called it torso, and put the other unions within the torso, welded them. But only the torso follows
On the right shows the Troll model. All the parts are welded
This is just the torso part, however when I open my character model, I can the that all the other unions are still there, just some where off millions of miles away from the actual part
Here is a function I use to render pets from the client.
I hook it up to a ChildAdded and a loop when a player first joins to render everyone’s pets.
The upside to “rendering” them locally means that you can update other players pets less often, and also update the further away pets less often.
The downside is that it’s just a tad more complicated.
Hope this helps!
local function renderPet(target,pet)
pet.CanCollide = false
local targetPlr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target)
local bp = Instance.new("BodyPosition")
local bg = Instance.new("BodyGyro")
bg.D = 750
bg.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(25000,25000,25000)
bg.P = 5000
bp.D = 400
bp.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1250,10000,1250)
bp.P = 2000
bg.Parent = pet
bp.Parent = pet
pet.CFrame = target.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,10,0)
spawn(function()
if not target then
print("Somehow couldn't find the target for: " .. target)
end
local backUpTarg = target
while target do
if target == plr.Character then
wait()
else
wait(.25)
if plr.Character then
local dist = (plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position-target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude
if dist > 35 then
wait(1.5)
end
end
end
bg.CFrame = target.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
bp.Position = CFrame.new(target.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * Vector3.new(4,2,4)).p
end
print("Loop broken for: " .. backUpTarg)
end)
end
My system/way of doing it is exactly the same as yours. However, you don’t need the OnClientEvent. Just parent the pet to workspace and hook it up to the client. The client can move it due to the ownership being set.
