Hello! I’m experiencing some troubles by making this script, since I saw that my highlight blinks when the player it’s behind something instead of persist in it properly, can someone help me?
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Camera = workspace.Camera
local params = RaycastParams.new()
local TestPart = workspace.Ignore
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {TestPart}
local highlight = Instance.new("Highlight")
highlight.Parent = Character
highlight.FillTransparency = 1
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local cameraPos = Camera.CFrame.Position
local characterPos = Character:GetPrimaryPartCFrame().Position
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(cameraPos, (characterPos - cameraPos), params)
if raycastResult then
highlight.Enabled = true
else
highlight.Enabled = false
end
end)
that’s strange, if you test it in a blank baseplate AlwaysOnTop works just fine even with a Part covering it with Transparency 0.
You could check inside the Character if the HighLight gets deleted by any other scripts ecc… if that’s not the problem then i don’t know how to help you.
I don’t think it’s for that, I’ve discovered that as well by removing the CanCollide property from a part as well works fine, the issue starts when it’s a normal part with the CanCollide property on, which I dunno why and doesn’t have too much sense in my point of view.
Nope, didn’t try because I don’t know how to code properly yet hahaha,
I’ve tried what you stated here and seems like to “work” but not at all, like, works but there are some areas that disappears and comes back again and some space areas without any obstacles that activate the highlight, so I don’t know.
Seems to be something regarding my Isometrical Camera system that I have in game, which doesn’t detect at all correctly the character in this case.
I’m kinda frustrated since I’m asking in Discord servers tho and there’s no a solution, although I’m trying everything by myself and with the help of others I’m getting anxious with this and it’s not the final product “at all” since I want to make the highlight better and only show some areas of the character, like this (but the highlight displays in the wall and not outside).
But atm I’ll like to fix this and the try the other one
in the raycast parameters, there is a property called “CollisionGroup”, i suggest making a new collision group for the raycast, and make it so it cant collide with the part collision group
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.CollisionGroup = "Raycast"
Actually I have an idea, I had a similiar issue (not related to cameras) but with a raycast gun (I think this is because the direction is so exact). Try multiplying the direction by 2 as a TEST, if that works. Set a custom range using .Unit:
(characterPos - cameraPos) * 2
If it works:
(characterPos - cameraPos).Unit * 200 -- Change the number to fit your custom range
You should use this function on the character Root/Torso or whatever, and then if there’s part(s) in the table, put the highlight in them: GetPartsObscuringTarget
Edit: I just read through this more, so while this may not solve your actual issue, it’s probably the easiest way to check if the character is behind parts
Also I saw you said something about the isometrical camera. Is it really far away and then you dropped the FOV? That’s what I did in one of my games and it might be causing your issue
I’ll drop here the code in case you can help me because I’m so damn lost now
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local limits = workspace.Ignore.Limits
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.CollisionGroup = "Raycast"
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {game:GetService("CollectionService"):GetTagged("RaycastCollision")}
--local TestPart = workspace.Ignore
--params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
--params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {TestPart}
local highlight = Instance.new("Highlight")
highlight.Parent = Character
highlight.FillTransparency = 1
highlight.DepthMode = 0
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local cameraPos = Camera.CFrame.Position
local characterPos = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(cameraPos, (cameraPos), params)
if raycastResult and not raycastResult.Instance:IsDescendantOf(Character) then
highlight.Enabled = true
print(raycastResult)
elseif raycastResult then
highlight.Enabled = false
else
highlight.Enabled = false
end
end)
I don’t know, I leave here the code
local zoom = 130
local FOV = 9
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local Params = RaycastParams.new()
Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Ignore}
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
Camera.FieldOfView = FOV
if Character then
if Character:FindFirstChild("Head") then
game:GetService("SoundService"):SetListener(Enum.ListenerType.ObjectCFrame, Character.Head)
Camera.CFrame =
CFrame.new(Vector3.new(Character.Head.Position.X + zoom, Character.Head.Position.Y + zoom, Character.Head.Position.z + zoom), Character.Head.Position)
end
end
end)
