Hello, I’m now working on a swinging game but I’m not really experienced with creating it, so I’ve been reading posts, topics, and everything on the developer forums and some other websites and I couldn’t really find anything that would actually help me. I’ve worked too hard to the point where I simply have to beg anyone for anything, whether it’s tips or anything else. What I’m attempting to create is web swinging mechanics, and I’d appreciate any assistance right now. I’ve had a couple of problems trying to achieve a result. I commented on several topics/posts, but no one responded or helped me find what I was looking for. But when I came upon a post that actually helped in the feedback creations category, a developer was actually trying to help and explained how to make it, though I ran into some issues and that brings me here. If anybody can help or even give tips or provide images on how to do it, it would be very helpful!
Can you show me the script please ?
The FULL script.
That’s the problem i was wondering how would i be able to do this?
when i played with swinging i ended up using springs not ropes because it allowed me to slowly shorten the spring to bring the player up into the air
here is a demo place that uses springs
https://www.roblox.com/games/8701115401
the next thing your going to need is where does the spring or rope connect to
this can be a fixed points that you place around the world or where the player clicks or a mixture of both
while the player is swinging its important that the humanoids HumanoidStateType is physics or the character will not swing nicely
if you tell me what you want the spring to connect to i can tell you step by step what you need to do
How would i do that currently i used a beam i cannot provide any scripts as i cannot access my account at the moment but here’s what i have made
https://www.roblox.com/games/9608576194/Web-swinging
i’m currently on a Linux laptop so i cant play the game but if you describe to me how you want the rope/sprint to connect ill help you
is this what you currently have done or is this what your trying to do?
I’ve already made my mechanics
example video of them:
I already made the mechanics but i want to change them completely As i said before i want the same results as the one i linked in the post
Feedback on Web Swinging thingy - #9 by alexsany
I want the same results
I may be offline for a while in about 5 minutes so if you could just write the whole explanation in a post that would be appreciated!
OK so if you want to change them completely
lets first make the targeting system
- make a new baseplate project
- create a folder in workspace called “Attachments”
- place some red anchored parts inside this folder and move them around the world
- place a BillboardGui with a target ImageLabel in starter gui
- create a localscript and for now lets put this script inside StarterCharacterScripts and get a reference to the BillboardGui
- we will then set the BillboardGui.Adornee so it shows us what part is targeted
-- localscript in StarterCharacterScripts
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local character = script.Parent
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local billboardGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").BillboardGui
local attachmentParts = workspace.Attachments:GetChildren()
local maxSwingRange = 100
-- every frame call this function
runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
local selectedPart = nil
local selectedMagnitude = math.huge
-- loop all children inside the Attachments folder
for i, child in ipairs(attachmentParts) do
-- get the distance from the character
local magnitude = (child.Position - rootPart.Position).Magnitude
-- if we already have a closer selected part then skip
if magnitude > selectedMagnitude then continue end
-- if the part is outside are max range then skip
if magnitude > maxSwingRange then continue end
-- get where this part is in are camera view
local viewVector, inView = camera:WorldToViewportPoint(child.Position)
-- if the part is not in are camera view then skip
if inView == false then continue end
-- all checks have past this is are new selected part
selectedPart = child
selectedMagnitude = magnitude
end
-- update the adornee to the new selected part
billboardGui.Adornee = selectedPart
end)
Go on what should i do next? –
do you have the target system working now and are you happy how it targets them?
if you send a short video it will help me see how its working
also try to understand what the code is doing
I’m not home right now but il test it when i get back
OK once you have finished this part then we will continue
Okay so i added everything you listed what should i do next?
ok so lets change it so that other scripts can access the target
inside replicatedStorage make a new ObjectValue and lets call it Target
and lets change are scripts so it works like this
-- localscript in StarterCharacterScripts
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local character = script.Parent
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local targetValue = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Target")
local attachmentParts = workspace:WaitForChild("Attachments"):GetChildren()
local maxSwingRange = 100
runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
local selectedPart = nil
local selectedMagnitude = math.huge
for i, child in ipairs(attachmentParts) do
local magnitude = (child.Position - rootPart.Position).Magnitude
if magnitude > selectedMagnitude then continue end
if magnitude > maxSwingRange then continue end
local viewVector, inView = camera:WorldToViewportPoint(child.Position)
if inView == false then continue end
selectedPart = child
selectedMagnitude = magnitude
end
targetValue.Value = selectedPart
end)
-- localscript inside StarterPlayerScripts
local billboardGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").BillboardGui
local targetValue = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Target")
targetValue.Changed:Connect(function(value)
billboardGui.Adornee = value
end)
Okay and what should i next??–
can you show me what you have so far
and so far its all working with no errors? when you play the game
you can rename the local scripts to something like Billboard and TargetSelector
so next lets make a part and a spring and attachment
put the part in replicatedstorage
and put a attachment inside this part
and also put a spring inside this part
and set spring.Attachment1 = attachment
in StarterCharacterScripts let make a new localscript
-- localscript inside StarterCharacterScripts
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local character = script.Parent
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local targetValue = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Target")
local springPart = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SpringPart")
local spring = springPart:WaitForChild("Spring")
-- make a new attachment for the character
local attachment = Instance.new("Attachment")
attachment.Position = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)
attachment.Parent = rootPart
-- attach the spring to the attachment
spring.Attachment0 = arrachment
-- move the spring part into workspace
springPart.Parent = workspace
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)
if processed == true then return end
if input.UserInputType ~= Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then return end
if targetValue.Value == nil then return end
-- when the player clicks mouse 1 move the spring part to the targets cframe
springPart.CFrame = targetValue.Value
end)
