Help with increasing part position?

beeflover10293 · January 5, 2022, 10:32pm

Hello!

I’m currently still working on my project, and i figured how to use random positions, but i want to increase that with a sort of radius or something.

As you can see, the red circle is the zone that i want stuff to spawn in(maybe a little bit bigger…), but i’m not entierly sure about changing the position as i’m still learning it…

The area that the stuff spawn in right now is very big but i want it to be bigger…

Here is a piece of code:

	truss.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-114, 12),6,math.random(-124, 33))

I want to make a radius that it spawns in or some sort of zone…

How can i do this?

I’m still learning coding

Cheers!

local trussFolder = workspace.trussFolder --folder with all the objects who you want to spawn

function spawnInCircle(object, center, radius)
	local r = math.random 
	local abs = math.abs
	local pos
	repeat 
		pos = Vector3.new(r(-radius, radius), object.Position.Y, r(-radius, radius)) 
	--pythagorean basically
	until math.sqrt(abs(pos.X)^2+abs(pos.Z)^2) <= radius
	pos += center --aligning to center after the above calculations run
	local c = object:Clone()
	c.Position = pos 
	c.Parent = workspace 
end

for _, truss in pairs(trussFolder:GetChildren()) do 
	local spawnPoint = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
	local radius = 120
	spawnInCircle(truss, spawnPoint, radius)
end

Thanks, but do you think this would fit with my main script?

script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()

local event = math.random(1,22)

end)

I’m just asking, because im not very sure all that would go into the main script…

Instead of using spawnInCircle which also clones the object, just position it using the function below(place on top of your script):

function PositionInCircle(object, center, radius)
	local r = math.random 
	local abs = math.abs
	local pos
	repeat 
		pos = Vector3.new(r(-radius, radius), object.Position.Y, r(-radius, radius)) 
		--pythagorean basically
	until math.sqrt(abs(pos.X)^2+abs(pos.Z)^2) <= radius
	pos += center --aligning to center after the above calculations run
	object.Position = pos 
end

And replace every object.Position = Vector3.new(x, y, z) with PositionInCircle(object, center, radius).
