As the title suggest, I want a Block which will always be 20 Studs away from my Head, to essentially be facing opposite to my Camera’s Position.
The reason for this, is to create a System similar to Blade Ball 's Curve Mechanic based on where the Player is looking. I plan on replicating this using Attachments in the block and AlignPosition | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub, example: Watch BladeBallMimic | Streamable . (Including this incase someone can recommend a better method than this “Camera Block” method)
What I currently have seems to work well for the X and Z direction, however for the Y direction (Up and Down), sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, and I’m not sure why.
External MediaI have the following Code in a LocalScript
-- SERVICES
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
-- VARIABLES
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
while true do
local X, Y, Z = Camera.CFrame:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
ReplicatedStorage.Look:FireServer(X, Y, Z)
task.wait()
end
And then the following in a ServerScript
-- SERVICES
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player: Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character: Model)
local Head = Character.Head
local HumanoidRootPart = Character.HumanoidRootPart
-- Looker [WHAT CONTROLS BLOCK USING WELD ROTATIONS]
local Looker = Instance.new("Part")
Looker.Name = "Looker"
Looker.Parent = Head
Looker.Size = Vector3.one
Looker.CanCollide = false
Looker.Massless = true
Looker.Transparency = 1
Looker.CFrame = Head.CFrame
-- To adjust for Head moving
local Rotator1 = Instance.new("Weld")
Rotator1.Name = "Rotator1"
Rotator1.Parent = Looker
Rotator1.Part0 = Head
Rotator1.Part1 = Looker
-- Hitter Block [BLOCK VISUALIZATION]
local HitterBlock = Instance.new("Part")
HitterBlock.Name = "HitterBlock"
HitterBlock.Parent = Looker
HitterBlock.Size = Vector3.new(5, 5, 5)
HitterBlock.CanCollide = false
HitterBlock.Massless = true
HitterBlock.Transparency = 0.5
HitterBlock.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
-- This controls the Block linked with the Camera
local Rotator2 = Instance.new("Weld")
Rotator2.Name = "Rotator2"
Rotator2.Parent = HitterBlock
Rotator2.Part0 = HitterBlock
Rotator2.Part1 = Looker
Rotator2.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 20)
local Hitter = Instance.new("Attachment")
Hitter.Name = "Hitter"
Hitter.Parent = HitterBlock
Hitter.Visible = true
end)
end)
ReplicatedStorage.Look.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player: Player, X: number, Y: number, Z: number)
local Head = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Head")
local HitterBlock = Head.Looker.HitterBlock
local Rotator1 = Head.Looker.Rotator1
local Rotator2 = HitterBlock.Rotator2
-- To account for Head Moving around
local XX = math.rad(Head.Orientation.X)
local YY = math.rad(Head.Orientation.Y)
local ZZ = math.rad(Head.Orientation.Z)
Rotator1.C1 = CFrame.Angles(XX, YY, ZZ)
Rotator2.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 20) * CFrame.Angles(-X, -Y, Z)
end)
Both are connected using an UnreliableRemoteEvent | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub, and Rotation is done by adjusting the Weld’s Properties. below is the File with all of the above to Test for yourself.
