Holographic Map of Star Wars Base

Yeah I agree. Right now I’m just trying to see how detailed I can get it without destroying my computer.

Either way, the map is generated on command line. Generating this kind of map is not a good idea for an actual server.

I generate it and then just use it as a static object that can be used.

Awesome! :smiley:

Very nice. Looks cool :sunglasses:

The Roblox rendering system does not currently do any kind of zone/portal culling, so someone who is outside the command room but is aiming their camera at the command room, may still end up with the mesh putting load on the graphics card. If you want to avoid that, you could detect the rank of the local player, and locally hide the object when the rank is too low. (Perhaps you already do this?)

That’s pretty nifty!

How exactly did you figure out the height points across the map? Was it via topdown raycasting, the more detail the more raycasts?

Looks good. :+1:

Yeah I could totally do that. Thanks for the input!

Side note though; when working with the very laggy 32x resolution map, if you look away from the map you will lag considerably less.

Top down raycasting.

Yeah, I like this. The 4x one is the best in my opinion; you may not want to go higher. Simplistic design is all it takes, since the map outline at 4x is already sufficient enough to determine the way the map looks. All that’s left is them red pins for player locations. :slight_smile:

I’ve always had an interest in holograms & star wars. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this in Roblox before, good job!

It’s always great to see a creation from the Star Wars genre side of groups every once in a while. But anyway, great work!

preety cool :slight_smile: i wonder how you made this…

Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi…

But seriously this is an interesting idea. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Awesome work!
Really curious to learn more about what’s going on behind the scenes :slight_smile:

wow look’s awesome i wish i could script that well

i might get there eventually but probably not

This actually looks pretty cool. It has a lot of potential if you ask me. Keep up the great work! :grinning:

Didn’t spot it in any of the other posts, but have you considered making multiple lines into singular lines? I’m imagining they’re all lines between points, as opposed to when they change height.
Would probably help dearly with performance!

Do you think you would ever make this open source?

Do you mind posting a showcase involving the development you have for your Star Wars group?

I love your work and I am a very big fan of the Star Wars genre and would be interested in reviewing builds, and tech in-general related to your group!

Keep up the good work.

Bravo! It’s really cool, especially when Roblox is supposed to be blocky! Like as @Lightlimn Said holographic soldiers should be nice.
