Hello,
I was wondering what i could do to make this movement script work for my head constantly when my player doesnt have anything equiped just to add to camera movement…?
this is how it looks when i got the script working when i equip a tool:
server side:
i eventually want to add constraints so it looks more realistic and attached to the neck but i dont even know how to make it work without using the tool haha!
here is a video
the end product should hopefully work with the first person camera setup i have going just people can see where im looking on the server (which is my goal)
this is how it functions when im running it with the camera script i got going on just no head movement when the tool is equiped
thinking on this now is it possible to make it work in this way here let me post the script i totally forgot im terribly sorry!
local Tool = script.Parent
local Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local Light = Handle:WaitForChild("Light")
local Remote = Tool:WaitForChild("Remote")
local Motor
local MotorPart0
local MotorPart1
function getPlayer()
return game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Tool.Parent)
end
function setPointDirection(position)
local char = Tool.Parent
if not char then return end
if not Motor then
Motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
Motor.Part0 = char.Torso
Motor.Part1 = char.Head
Motor.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 1.5, 0) -- Adjust according to the character's head position
Motor.Parent = Motor.Part0
end
local jointPosition = Motor.Part0.CFrame:toWorldSpace(CFrame.new(0, 1.5, 0)) -- Adjust according to the character's head position
local cframe = CFrame.new(jointPosition.p, position)
Motor.C0 = Motor.Part0.CFrame:toObjectSpace(cframe)
end
function toggleLight()
Light.Enabled = not Light.Enabled
end
function onRemote(player, func, ...)
if player ~= getPlayer() then return end
if func == "UpdateDirection" then
setPointDirection(...)
elseif func == "ToggleLight" then
toggleLight()
end
end
function onUnequipped()
if Motor then
Motor:Destroy()
Motor = nil
end
end
Remote.OnServerEvent:connect(onRemote)
Tool.Unequipped:connect(onUnequipped)
ive made changes so its more server sided and not binded to the tool but the script runs completeley broken ;/
server side part:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
-- Create RemoteEvent for updating target position
local remoteEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
remoteEvent.Name = "UpdateCursorPosition"
remoteEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
-- Table to store target positions
local targetPositions = {}
-- Function to set the head's point direction
local function setPointDirection(character, position)
if not character then return end
local head = character:FindFirstChild("Head")
local torso = character:FindFirstChild("Torso") or character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso")
if not head or not torso then return end
local neck = torso:FindFirstChild("Neck")
if not neck then
neck = Instance.new("Motor6D")
neck.Name = "Neck"
neck.Part0 = torso
neck.Part1 = head
neck.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 1.5, 0) -- Adjust according to the character's head position
neck.Parent = torso
end
local direction = (position - neck.Part0.Position).unit
local lookAt = CFrame.lookAt(neck.Part0.Position, neck.Part0.Position + direction)
neck.C0 = neck.Part0.CFrame:toObjectSpace(lookAt) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi, 0)
end
-- Update head directions for all players
local function updateHeadDirections()
for player, position in pairs(targetPositions) do
local character = player.Character
if character then
setPointDirection(character, position)
end
end
end
-- Listen for cursor position updates from clients
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, newPosition)
targetPositions[player] = newPosition
end)
-- Continuously update head directions
RunService.Stepped:Connect(updateHeadDirections)
local side:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("UpdateCursorPosition")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
-- Function to update the target position
local function setTargetPosition(newPosition)
remoteEvent:FireServer(newPosition)
end
-- Capture mouse movement and send to server
UserInputService.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
local mousePosition = input.Position
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local ray = camera:ScreenPointToRay(mousePosition.X, mousePosition.Y)
local targetPosition = ray.Origin + ray.Direction * 10
setTargetPosition(targetPosition)
end
end)
Using the Torso.Neck motor is fine for this as the default C0 and C1 values are set to make the motors look natural when an offset is used
(basically roblox already made the motors look natural in their default rigs)
local char = --char
local neck = char.Torso.Neck
local nc0, nc1 = neck.C0, neck.C1
--set offset like this
neck.C0 = nc0 * offset
neck.C1 = nc1 * offset
