How do you change gravity for just one user?

(Using remote events and local scripts)

I havenā€™t been on studio for a while but Iā€™m sure you can just send a value you want through the remote event then In a local script youā€™ll change the workspaceā€™s gravity to the received value

Iā€™m using this code:

local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.ChangeGravityEvent

local function playerjoined(player)
	local character = player.Character
	if character then
		local playerWorkspace = character.Parent
	end
end
local function onGravityChange(player, gravity)
	local character = player.Character
	if character then
		local playerWorkspace = character.Parent
		playerWorkspace.Gravity = gravity
	end
end

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onGravityChange)

Burt itā€™s changing the gravity for all users.

#4

Add a VectorForce into the player you want to change the ā€˜gravityā€™ for.
The VectorForce can be set up to add to the upwards or downwards force at the center of mass if you want to decrease or increase their gravity.

#5

This has been heavily overcomplicated. Use the following in a local script.

game.ReplicatedStorage.SetGravity.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(value)
     workspace.Gravity = value
end

From a server-sided Script, use the following.

local RE = game.ReplicatedStorage.SetGravity
RE:FireClient(player, value)
#6

I used that in a team test and it changed the gravity for all players.

#7

Donā€™t use FireAllClients. Only fire the event for the player you want.

#8

I put it in a local script that activates a function inside of the local script, which changes the gravity

local function touched(hit)
	if runbefore == false then
		runbefore = true
			local character = hit.Parent
			local player = Players.LocalPlayer
			print(player)
			if player then
				print('yes')
				local object = workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
				print(object)
				if object then
					local humanoid = object:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
					if humanoid then
						changegravityGUI()
						workspace.Gravity = 0
					end
				end
			end
		
	end
end

If the initial detection is client sided, no server communication is necessary. Just do workspace.Gravity = x in the local script.

#10

I did do that, Iā€™ve commented out the server side connection, SORRY I FORGOT TO ADD THE BIT WHERE I ACTUALLY CHANGE THE GRAVITY. Iā€™m going to edit that.

In this video I had activated the gravity change and it had changed for me but it had also changed for FireFlame6910, (sorry video recording shows bad fps)

#11

Is the touch event client side or server side? If itā€™s server sided, only fire the remote event for the player who touched it. If itā€™s client side, just set the gravity.

#12

The touched() event is in a local script

#13

You never check if the character that touched the part is the Character of the current LocalPlayer, so it enables it if any characters touch the part.

#14

How do I get that?, Iā€™m using the hit variableā€™s Parent as the character.

#15 
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local function touched(hit)
	if runbefore == false then
		runbefore = true
		local character = hit.Parent
		if character and character == player.character then
			changegravityGUI()
			workspace.Gravity = 0
		end
	end
end

Um.

#17

So that would indicate that another player touched it, therefore you shouldnā€™t modify the gravity?

LivignArt_SSN, is one of my avatar items. (that iā€™m wearing).

#19

isnā€™t ā€œhitā€ is the HumanoidRootPart?

#20

Then switch it to hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass(ā€œModelā€) instead of hit.Parent. Didnā€™t realize your debounce was a one time use(which it really doesnā€™t need to be) because you never sent the full script.
