So I’ve made this grapple gun on roblox, and im trying to make this grapple gun have a “smoother” pull on the player. Right now, the grapple gun just flings the player around while they’re in the air. Is there a way to make the player not get flinged.
This is how the gun currently looks:
This is how I want the gun to look:
This is my current script:
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local UIService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local tool = script.Parent
local base = tool:WaitForChild("Base")
local spring = base.Spring
local hook = tool:WaitForChild("Hook")
local hWeld = hook.HookWeld
local ref = tool:WaitForChild("HookRef")
local messageEvent = script:WaitForChild("MessageEvent")
local activated = script:WaitForChild("Activated")
--client
local player = nil
local mouse = nil
local currentTween = nil
local Grapplegun = {}
local function toggleHumanoidGrappleState(active)
local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
if active then
humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running, false)
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
else
humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running, true)
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)
end
end
end
local function clientInit()
player = players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.TargetFilter = player.Character
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if not Grapplegun.IsActivated() and mouse.Target then
messageEvent:FireServer(true, mouse.Hit.Position)
toggleHumanoidGrappleState(true)
end
end)
tool.Deactivated:Connect(function()
messageEvent:FireServer(false)
toggleHumanoidGrappleState(false)
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
messageEvent:FireServer(false)
toggleHumanoidGrappleState(false)
end)
end
local function serverInit()
messageEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, _activated, targetPosition)
activated.Value = _activated
if Grapplegun.IsActivated() then
Grapplegun.Fire(targetPosition)
else
Grapplegun.Reset()
end
end)
end
local function init()
if RunService:IsClient() then
clientInit()
elseif RunService:IsServer() then
serverInit()
end
end
function Grapplegun.IsActivated()
return activated.Value
end
function Grapplegun.Fire(targetPosition)
local initalPos = ref.Position
local distance = (targetPosition - initalPos).Magnitude
hWeld.Enabled = false
hook.Anchored = true
wait()
hook.Position = targetPosition
spring.FreeLength = distance
local info = TweenInfo.new(distance/100, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear)
local tween = TweenService:Create(spring, info, {FreeLength = 1})
tween:Play()
currentTween = tween
end
function Grapplegun.Reset()
if currentTween then
currentTween:Cancel()
end
hook.CFrame = ref.CFrame
hWeld.Enabled= true
hook.Anchored = false
spring.FreeLength = 1
end
init()
return Grapplegun
