So i made a similar post here, but it has some complications.
Anyways to make a magnitude script that only targets in a specified folder so it chooses only the one with the strongest health or the weakest health, making it print the one thats weakest or strongest. how do i do something like this that is magnitudal and counts each humanoid in a folder.
how do i do something like so it chooses the strongest or the weakest, in like a folder magnitude script.
You loop through all the folderâs humanoids and then you store them somewhere like a table to compare them all to eachother. Then you check which one is the weakest and which one is the strongest and you choose the target.
Be sure to store the location of the humanoid too, cause then you can get both the humanoidâs strength and its location (workspace or something like that).
how do i even do that bro. doing something like operators doesnât work.
Yeah, I admit I donât know how you would compare them, maybe thereâs like a library you can use to sort all of the values?
As @BandQueenForever said, loop through all the Folder with all of the other Folders inside by using :GetDescendants() which will allow you to get every single content inside of the Folder. Then inside the loop, you would make few if statements by checking if there is a Health value inside. I am not sure what kind of logic you want to approach for checking the weakest and strongest Humanoid, but the simplest one would be to just check if Health Value is 100, then that is the strongest Humanoid.
Once you find a Strongest Humanoid, you can use a Magnitude Value between your Character and the NPC. Check if Magnitude Value is below a specified number and then do something.
but how though? operators just donât work, they just keep choosing randomly.
Which operators are you talking about?
like >=,=<,==,
Operators should be fine, itâs definitely the logic you are approaching that is not being precise.
well, if zombies get in range of the tower, i canât just like make if below 15 then shoot. no it will shoot randomly, you canât sort it somehow.
Can you show us the most recently updated code for your Zombie Script?
table.sort() exists precisely for this, unless I am missing out on something major.
while wait(0.3) do
local towertorso = script.Parent.Torso
local mobs = workspace.Enemies
local humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
local humanoidnpc = script.Parent.Humanoid
--local humanim = humanoidnpc:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.fire)
local function FindFirstTarget()
local maxDistance = 150
local nearestTarget = nil
for i, target in ipairs(mobs:GetChildren()) do
local distance = (target.HumanoidRootPart.Position - towertorso.Position).Magnitude
if target.DistanceToWaypoint.Value < 999 and target.MovingValue.Value > 0 then
towertorso.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(towertorso.Parent.PrimaryPart.Position,target.Torso.Position))
maxDistance = distance
end
end
end
while true do
local target = FindFirstTarget()
local FireSound = Instance.new('Sound')
local damagenumber = 3
if target then
-- Do something
end
task.wait(0.5)
end
end
Why do you have a while loop nested inside another while loop?
how do you even sort strong health and weak health throughout a magnitude script that checks a ââZombiesââ folder?
doesnât matter the First while loop is domiant.
You can try using table.insert() to insert the specified Humanoid to be shot at. After that you can just loop through the new table of the Specified Humanoids.
Assuming you already have a table of humanoids, you can loop through them and keep setting variables to find which one has the least/most value (then return it). Iâd do this:
function SortHumanoids(Humanoids,Mode) -- Mode is either "Least" or "Most"
local selected = nil
local healthThreshold
if Mode == "Least" then
HealthThreshold = math.huge
for i,v in pairs(Humanoids) do
if v.Health < HealthThreshold then
HealthThreshold = v.Health
selected = v
end
end
elseif Mode == "Most" then
HealthThreshold = -math.huge
for i,v in pairs(Humanoids) do
if v.Health > HealthThreshold then
HealthThreshold = v.Health
selected = v
end
end
end
return selected
end
Would that work on a loop if a zombie is very close to the tower? or something?
That depends on your logic, all this function does is take an array of humanoids (e.g. {Humanoid, Humanoid, Humanoid}) and gives you which one has the most/least health.
