Hello! I need some help, yes you! I’m making a plane/helicopter thing (something that flies, okay?) and there is a problem: when I press the keyboard key W when touched my seat, it doesn’t go forward via bodyvelocity.
This is also my first time working with bodyvelocity so…
I made it so I have a local script and a normal script. The normal script has all the basic things such as seeing if a player touched the seat or etc, and the local script is where if you press a button, it moves.
---normal script beginning
local plane = script.Parent.Parent
local planeBody = plane.PlaneBody
local planeSeat = plane.VehicleSeat
local w = planeBody.LocalScript
w.Disabled = true
function onTouch(part)
local character = part.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if player then
local touchedSeat = planeSeat.Touched
touchedSeat = true
if touchedSeat == true then
planeBody.Anchored = false
planeSeat.Anchored = false
w.Disabled = false
else
planeBody.Anchored = true
planeSeat.Anchored = true
w.Disabled = true
end
end
end
---start of local script, end of normal script
local BV = planeBody.BodyVelocity
local m = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
db = true
m.KeyDown:connect(function(k)
k = k:lower()
if k == "w" then
if db == true then
BV.Velocity = Vector3.new(10, 0, 0)
end
end
end)
The reason why it doesn’t go forward is that you’re making it go forward on the X-axis, not by the plane’s look vector, in other words, the position the plane is facing.
To resolve this, basically, just get the lookVector either the planeBody or planeSeat and multiply it by the preferable speed, I prefer getting the seat’s look vector.
Basically, replace
BV.Velocity = Vector3.new(10, 0, 0)
with
BV.Velocity = planeSeat.LookVector * 10
If it’s not going forward, it’s because of the seat it’s facing, you can fix that by rotating it on studio to the front of the plane.
local m = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local BV = script.Parent.BodyVelocity
local planeSeat = script.Parent.Parent.VehicleSeat
db = true
m.KeyDown:connect(function(k)
k = k:lower()
if k == "w" then
if db == true then
BV.Velocity = planeSeat.LookVector * 10
db = false
wait(0.1)
db = true
end
end
end)
This is the code.
Edit: wait I think I put the speed to 0, 0, 0.
Edit Edit: no that wasn’t the problem
Anyway, I don’t think debounce is an error, the reason why it doesn’t work is because of the parent of the Localscript, I recommend you parent the plane to the character and set the plane back on workspace or clone the localscript and parent on the playergui, backpack, or the character and destroy once you get out out of the plane.
And yes, I still recommend using UIS.
A simple explanation:
Basically, InputBegan is KeyDown, and InputEnded is KeyUp
The input is a user input (from keyboards, mobile devices, mouses, etc.)
The abbreviation of gmp is Game processed, it is a boolean which indicates if the input is interacting with the game engine.
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local plane = script.Parent.Parent
local planeBody = plane.PlaneBody
local planeSeat = plane.VehicleSeat
local BV = planeBody.BodyVelocity
local m = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gmp)
if gmp then return end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
BV.Velocity = planeSeat.CFrame.LookVector * 10
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input,gmp)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
BV.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
end
end)
@Crictoli, there is something wrong. I have a error where it says:
This is the code:
local m = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local BV = workspace.Model.PlaneBody.BodyVelocity
local planeSeat = workspace.Model.VehicleSeat
local LookVector1 = planeSeat.CFrame.LookVector
function onTouch(part)
local character = part.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
local org = script
local soonParent = org:Clone()
soonParent.Parent = character
if player then
local touchedSeat = planeSeat.Touched
touchedSeat = true
else
soonParent:Destroy()
end
end
db = true
m.KeyUp:connect(function(k)
k = k:lower()
if k == "w" then
if db == true then
BV.Velocity = planeSeat.LookVector * 10
db = false
wait(0.1)
db = true
end
end
end)
What is wrong? And can you possibly find it? Thank you.
It’s fine, I thought there wasn’t supposed to be CFrame despite me not knowing it was supposed to be there.
Edit: How would I make it go in the standard WASD movement because all I know is the W movement… is it the same with the ASD?
I’ve been working on my code for so long, it feels like a couple of hours, and it possibly could’ve been.
I decided to try and add a shooting system to the plane… and it isn’t working. Of course.
local f = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local sound = workspace.Model.Guns
local planeTip = workspace.Model.Tips:GetChildren()
db = true
wait(10)
f.KeyUp:connect(function(k)
k = k:lower()
if k == "f" then
if db == true then
sound.Playing = true
local bullet = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
bullet.Name = "Bullet"
bullet.Material = "Neon"
bullet.Color = Color3.new(229, 222, 0)
bullet.Transparency = 0
bullet.CanCollide = false
bullet.Locked = true
bullet.Position = Vector3(planeTip.Position)
--bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(planeTip.CFrame)
db = false
wait(0.1)
db = true
end
end
end)
I need your help again, and your advice @Crictoli, and I’m sorry to bother you but your the only one who really understands these things and kind of is teaching me so… can you help? Thanks!
What is the parent of that script and what type of script is that?
Also If it’s executed by a localscript, the other clients and server can’t see and hear it, so I recommend detecting input from a localscript, and making a bullet and playing the sound.
Not everything is supposed to be modified into a script. The input will be the only thing that’s left unedited. To play sounds and make bullets for others to see it, detect input from the client and use a RemoteEvent for communicating from client to server, which playing sounds and making the bullet will be handled in the server.
Okay…
This is the normal script. Edit: AND the local script.
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local f = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local sound = workspace.Model.Guns
local planeTip = workspace.Model.Tips:GetChildren()
db = true
wait(10)
local function onCreateNewBullet()
f.KeyUp:connect(function(k)
k = k:lower()
if k == "f" then
if db == true then
sound.Playing = true
local bullet = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
bullet.Name = "Bullet"
bullet.Material = "Neon"
bullet.Color = Color3.new(229, 222, 0)
bullet.Transparency = 0
bullet.CanCollide = false
bullet.Locked = true
bullet.Position = Vector3(planeTip.Position)
--bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(planeTip.CFrame)
db = false
wait(0.1)
db = true
end
end
end)
end
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onCreateNewBullet)
--this is the local script
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
remoteEvent:FireServer()
Like I previously mentioned, the input and the FireServer function is supposed to be handled in a localscript, and creating the bullet and playing the sound is handled in the OnServerEvent function.
Remote events are the most used way for communicating and is being created for the purpose of sending a message between the server and the client.
For example, if you want to communicate from a client to the server, it can be done by using the FireServer function and adding data by adding it as a parameter
(RemoteEvent):FireServer("data",1,Vector3.new())
When a client calls the function, any functions on the server that are connected to OnServerEvent will fire. Note that the player object or the caller will always be the first parameter.
(RemoteEvent).OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,data,number,vector)
-- code
end
