How do I make a clean Hook system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey! I been working on something called 3DMG or ODM Gear which is from an anime called Attack on Titan. I’m currently working on the hooking part of it, basically what I mean is, ODM is supposed to move smoothly towards the target position, and only when the hook reaches it, will body velocity occur.

Right now, I am not trying to add any velocity or any movement, I simply want the ODM hooking to work. Aka I just want the hook to move towards the target position, I can figure out the Velocity part.

I been trying to figure this out for a while, and here’s how I want it to work;

Here’s my script for it, at the moment, it doesn’t even Lerp. I’ve been using Lerping as I was recommended Lerping over tweening, however it’s just not working.

--// Variables

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Library = replicatedStorage.Initialization.Library
local events = Library.Events
local ClientEvents = events.ClientEvents
local ServerEvents = events.ServerEvents
local RopeEvent = ServerEvents.RemoteEvents.HandlerRope

local rope = {}

--// Functions

function onLeftRope(player,target,inValue)
	print("Activate Left Rope")
	print(target.Position)

	local char = player.Character
	local ODMHolder = char:WaitForChild("ODM").HumanoidRootPart
	local leftDetachment = ODMHolder:WaitForChild("LeftDetacher")
	local LeftHookPiece = leftDetachment.Primary.HookDetachment
	local LeftRope = LeftHookPiece.Rope
	local LeftReference = leftDetachment.HookReference
	local LeftWeld = LeftReference.WeldPart

	local distance = (char.PrimaryPart.Position - target.Position).Magnitude

	LeftRope.Length = distance

	for i = 0,1,.1 do
		wait(0.05)
		LeftReference.CFrame = LeftReference.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(target.Position),i)
	end

end

function onRightRope(player,target,inValue)
	print("Activate Right Rope")
	print(target.Position)
	
	local char = player.Character
	local ODMHolder = char:WaitForChild("ODM").HumanoidRootPart
	local rightDetachment = ODMHolder:WaitForChild("RightDetacher")
	local RightHookPiece = rightDetachment.Primary.HookDetachment
	local RightRope = RightHookPiece.Rope
	local RightReference = rightDetachment.HookReference
	local RightWeld = RightReference.WeldPart
	
	local newAttach = Instance.new("Attachment")
	local distance = (char.PrimaryPart.Position - newAttach.Position).Magnitude
	
	newAttach.Parent = target
	newAttach.Position = Vector3.new(target.Position.X,target.Position.Y,target.Position.Z)
	RightRope.Attachment0 = RightHookPiece.Attachment0
	RightRope.Attachment1 = newAttach
	RightRope.Length = distance
	
	
	for i = 0,1,.1 do
		wait()
		RightReference.CFrame = RightReference.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(target.Position),i)
	end
	
end

local function onClientHandler()
	
end

local function onServerHandler()
	RopeEvent.Event:Connect(function(player,target,inValue,HookValue)
		if HookValue == "Left" then
			onLeftRope(player,target,inValue)
		elseif HookValue == "Right" then
			onRightRope(player,target,inValue)
		else
			warn("Unexpected Error - Rope")
		end
	end)
end

local function init()
	if runService:IsClient() then
		onClientHandler()
	elseif runService:IsServer() then
		onServerHandler()
	end
end

--// Initialization

init()

return rope

Here’s what happens right now;
