Greetings! I recently played a ROBLOX game titled “Death Penalty” and noticed an intriguing feature in a new mode. In this mode, two players are randomly selected and linked together. Intriguingly, if one player dies, the other follows suit. They are bound by a realistic chain, and if one player remains stationary while the other ventures far enough, the chain drags the stationary player along.
Could someone guide me on how to script such a mechanism?
use wielding so that they can be glued to each other
Did you even read the topic above your reply?
As Crxstle said, the chain between the player would just be made of a weld with a chain model, ropes, etc.
For the system you would probably use something like :GetPlayers() to get a table of current players, then randomly select 2 using something like math.random().
Then when one player dies one way to have the other player die at the same time would be using a BindableEvent to communicate that one player died and to kill the other player.
Hopefully this gave you a general idea on how to script the system you’re looking for!
If you just use a weld, you’ll end up with buggy movement as one client has network ownership over both characters. I personally have not tried anything like this myself, but creating the rope on each client seperately should keep things smooth between clients.
To prevent a network ownership mess (mentioned by the last reply), create a line between the players on the server and create a part. You can either make a chain that uses this part as reference or make it transparent and emit chain particles to give the illusion of a solid chain. Then just use the magnitude (distance between players) to bound them on the server side, maybe give a strong backwards force that matches their movement when they try to escape.
