How to do fall damage in the best way?

Hello! I want to achieve the best fall damage. I’ve heard that you can do this using getState. But it didn’t work out for me, I don’t really know how to do calculations, I have a script that removes bounce when falling. Perhaps it will be possible to add fall damage to this script?

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local primaryPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState)
	if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
		local velo = primaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity
		primaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = velo*Vector3.new(1,0,1)

		local ray = Ray.new(primaryPart.Position, Vector3.new(0,-20,0))
		local hit, pos = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, character)

		local hipHeight = humanoid.HipHeight
		local newPos = pos + Vector3.new(0,hipHeight,0)
		character:MoveTo(primaryPart.Position - primaryPart.Position + newPos) 
	end
end)

Thanks anyway!

I would just create a new script all together to prevent confusion

If you want to create fall damage, you can use tick()
Or just use an if statement

But tick gives crazy numbers. How do I calculate that when falling, this number decreases and becomes not so large?

#4

Tick allows you to calculate the time between 2 points in a script

local timers = tick()

wait(5)

Print(tick()-timers)

Output =5

Hm. I’ll try and see what happens this time.

#6

More precisely, I will try to write a script, if I fall, the tick will start counting how many seconds I fly and how much damage I will receive.
Is it worth using seconds?

You can try this:

local TimeFalling = 0

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(Delta)
	if Humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		TimeFalling += Delta
	else
		if TimeFalling > 0.6 then
			Humanoid:TakeDamage(TimeFalling * 10)
		end
		
		TimeFalling = 0
	end
end)

It counts how long the player is in the air, and if they’ve been in the air longer than a certain threshold (aka how long they need to fall before they can start taking damage, 0.6 in this case), it gives damage when they land (TimeFalling * 10).

I had the same script, but instead of Heartbeat I had Humanoid.ChangeStateType. I’ll try to better disassemble and test your script.

The Landed humanoid state actually happens before the velocity of the character is removed when touching the ground. You could check how fast they were falling and apply damage accordingly

couldnt you use

humanoid.MoveDirection

? It gives a vector 3 on the direction the character is going,
you can check the Y proprety and see if it goes above a threshold.

humanoid.MoveDirection.Y
if humanoid.MoveDirection.Y > 15 then DamageTheDoO_O() end

then wait for the player to stop falling, perhaps using

humanoid.StateType
if humanoid.MoveDirection.Y > 15 then humanoid.StateChanged:Wait() DamageTheDoO_O() end

then do the damage.

You can also calculate it in relation to the distance of the fall, if you wish!

Have a good day ! :wink:

This is work’s pretty good. But if Humanoid.Sit = true you don’t take fall damage

#14

I’ve already try to get fall damage with the fall time but it’s not the best way because some times the player get stuck in the air so he get more damage and if the player jump all of the time he get more damage too, that’s what I think, have a nice day ! :wink:

I’ve update the code !

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local Y
local YF
local YL

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	Y = Character:GetPrimaryPartCFrame().Position.Y
end)

Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(OldState, NewState)
	if NewState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		YF = Y
	elseif NewState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
		YL = Y
		if YF - YL > 25 then
			Humanoid:TakeDamage(YF - YL)
		end
	elseif OldState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall and NewState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Swimming then
		YL = Y
		if YF - YL > 100 then
			Humanoid:TakeDamage(Humanoid.MaxHealth)
		end
	end
end)

Have a nice day ! :slightly_smiling_face:
