How does the jailbreak "e" prompt work?

Aqua_LionHD · September 18, 2019, 2:43pm

Hello!
Im trying to figure out how jailbreak “e” prompt on cars, items etc work. I both mean scripting but also the gui thingy how it gets this wobbly thing when its done/denied.
Maybe someone can help?
Thank you.

I haven’t seen the wobbling directly, but I can infer.

The wobbling is using a spring, almost certainly, with low damper.

--[[
class Spring

Description:
	A physical model of a spring, useful in many applications. Properties only evaluate
	upon index making this model good for lazy applications

API:
	Spring = Spring.new(number position)
		Creates a new spring in 1D
	Spring = Spring.new(Vector3 position)
		Creates a new spring in 3D

	Spring.Position
		Returns the current position
	Spring.Velocity
		Returns the current velocity
	Spring.Target
		Returns the target
	Spring.Damper

The E prompt is bound to ContextActionService or UserInputService, and is probably using CollectionService and/or maybe :FindPartsInRegion3() to identify a close part and choose it as the activator.

yeah i mean that the e icon outline grows then shrinks and then resets to normal.

Easing.lua (8.0 KB)
^^^^ This module will be needed for it

This must be put in a local script.

local Easing = require(script.Easing) -- location of easing module above
local PulseGui = script.Parent.PulseCircle  -- location of the gui you want to "wobble"
local PulseSize = PulseGui.Size
local PulsePos = PulseGui.Position
local IsPulsing = false
function ContextPulse(success)
	IsPulsing = true
	local startTick = tick()
	local rs = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped
	local total = 0.25
	repeat
		rs:wait()
		local alpha = math.min((tick() - startTick) / total, 1)
		local t = Easing.outInBounce(1,0,alpha,1)
		local t
		if alpha < 0.5 then
			t = Easing.outBounce(1,0,alpha*2,1) + 0.5
		else
			t = Easing.outBounce(1,0,(1-(alpha))*2,1) + 0.5
		end
		local et = t > 0.5 and (t-0.5)*2 or t*2
		PulseGui.Size = UDim2.new(PulseSize.X.Scale,PulseSize.X.Offset+(12*et),PulseSize.Y.Scale,PulseSize.Y.Offset+(12*et))
		PulseGui.Position = UDim2.new(PulsePos.X.Scale,PulsePos.X.Offset+(-6*et),PulsePos.Y.Scale,PulsePos.Y.Offset+(-6*et))
	until alpha == 1
	IsPulsing = false
	PulseGui.Size = UDim2.new(PulseSize.X.Scale,PulseSize.X.Offset,PulseSize.Y.Scale,PulseSize.Y.Offset)
	PulseGui.Position = UDim2.new(PulsePos.X.Scale,0,PulsePos.Y.Scale,0)
end

Every time I see your engine I always find something else that I end up assimilating into my codebase. This spring class looks really cool, especially since I suck at physics Bookmarked!
