hello everyone I’m making a tower defense game and the problem is that the Enemy Handler isn’t spawning a single enemy I searched everywhere but couldn’t find a solution I had a similar problem but this time I add new stuff and it happened again.
Note: in the Enemies folder there is supposed to be random names of the enemy for example asdSa18-adw1CJ-adacJ7
EnemyHandler
local EHandler = {List={}}
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ServerStorage = game.ServerStorage
local Map = game.Workspace["Tower Defense Map"]
local WalkPoints = Map.Movement
local Enemies = Map.Enemies
local PlayerBase = Map.Bases.PlayerBase
local function OnFinish(Enemy)
Enemy.Body:Destroy();
PlayerBase.Health.Value -= Enemy.Details.Damage
end
local MoveEnemy
MoveEnemy = function(Enemy)
if not(WalkPoints:FindFirstChild(Enemy.CurrentPoint)) then
return OnFinish()
end
local Info = TweenInfo.new(2);
TweenService:Create(Enemy.Body, TweenInfo.new(2,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {
Position = WalkPoints[tostring(Enemy.CurrentPoint)].Position
}):Play()
Enemy.CurrentPoint += 1
task.delay(2, MoveEnemy, Enemy)
end
EHandler.doDamage = function(EntityGUID, Damage)
local Entity = EHandler.List[EntityGUID]
if not Entity then return warn('GUID not found in Entity List') end
Entity.Health -= Damage
if Entity.Health <= 0 then
Entity.Body:Destroy()
end
end
EHandler.createEnemy = function(Details)
-- Will later be used to determine health, type, and etc...
local GUID = HttpService:GenerateGUID(false)
local Enemy = ServerStorage.Enemy:Clone()
Enemy.Parent = Enemies
Enemy.Position = WalkPoints["1"].Position
Enemy.Name = GUID
local EnemyDetails = {
Body = Enemy,
CurrentPoint = 1,
Details = Details,
OnDamage = function(Damage)end,
}
--Future..
EHandler.List[GUID] = EnemyDetails
MoveEnemy(EnemyDetails)
return EnemyDetails
end
return EHandler
EntitySpawner
local EnemyHandler = require(script.EnemyHandler)
local playerUnitHandler = require(script.PlayerUnitHandler)
local Map = game.Workspace["Tower Defense Map"]
local Bases = Map.Bases
local EnemyBase = game.Workspace["Tower Defense Map"].Bases.EnemyBase
local PlayerBase = game.Workspace["Tower Defense Map"].Bases.PlayerBase
local Enemies = Map.Enemies
playerUnitHandler.createUnit({
Damage = 1,
Range = 15,
AttackDelay = 2
})
for i = 1, 10 do
EnemyHandler.createEnemy({
Health = 1,
})
task.wait(2)
end
sorry for the late response I was taking a break but here is the PlayerUnitHandler
PlayerUnitHandler
local PUnitHeandler = {List={}}
local ServerStorage = game.ServerStorage
local Map = game.Workspace["Tower Defense Map"]
local Units = Map.Units
local Enemies = Map.Enemies
local function getClosetEnemy(Range)
local ClosestEnemy, Distance = nil, math.huge
for _, Enemy in next, Enemies:GetChildren() do
local Distance = (Unit.Position - Enemy.Position).Magnitude
if Distance <= Distance then
ClosestEnemy = Enemy
ClosestDistance = Distance
end
end
return ClosestEnemy, Distance
end
PUnitHeandler.createUnit = function(Details)
local Unit = ServerStorage.Unit:Clone()
Unit.Parent = Units
Unit.Radius.Size = Vector3.new(Details.Range, Details.Range, Details.Range)
Unit.Radius.Position = Unit.Position
Unit.Radius.Transparency = 1
while task.wait(Details.AttackDelay) do
local Enemy = getClosetEnemy(Unit, Details.Range)
if not Enemy then continue end
print(Enemy)
end
end
return PUnitHeandler
Sorry for the late response I was frustrated yesterday and today I just came from school pardon me in advance
local PUnitHeandler = {List={}}
local ServerStorage = game.ServerStorage
local Map = game.Workspace["Tower Defense Map"]
local Units = Map.Units
local Enemies = Map.Enemies
local function getClosetEnemy(Range)
local ClosestEnemy, Distance = nil, math.huge
for _, Enemy in next, Enemies:GetChildren() do
local Distance = (Unit.Position - Enemy.Position).Magnitude
if Distance <= Distance then
ClosestEnemy = Enemy
ClosestDistance = Distance
end
end
return ClosestEnemy, Distance
end
PUnitHeandler.createUnit = function(Details)
local Unit = ServerStorage.Unit:Clone()
Unit.Parent = Units
Unit.Radius.Size = Vector3.new(Details.Range, Details.Range, Details.Range)
Unit.Radius.Position = Unit.Position
Unit.Radius.Transparency = 1
while task.spawn(Details.AttackDelay) do
local Enemy = getClosetEnemy(Unit, Details.Range)
if not Enemy then continue end
print(Enemy)
end
end
return PUnitHeandler
task.spawn(function()
while Enemy:IsDescendantOf(workspace) do
local Enemy = getClosetEnemy(Unit, Details.Range)
if not Enemy then continue end
print(Enemy)
task.wait()
end
end)
Here I run this in a nice spawn so it doesn’t yield the script. The flaw with your while loop too is that, if the enemy was destroyed, task.wait() will always return a truthy value no matter what so your while loop would run forever thus building up memory
task.spawn(function()
while Unit:IsDescendantOf(workspace) do
local Enemy = getClosetEnemy(Unit, Details.Range)
if not Enemy then continue end
print(Enemy)
task.wait()
end
end)

enemy handler is the script controlling the enemies but it has no errors in the output
