local Position = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,Angle,0) * PetOffset
should be…
local Position = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,Angle,0) * CFrame.new(0,0,math.clamp(OverlapMultiplier * #PetTable,4,math.huge)
The reason for the math.clamp is to prevent the pets from getting to close.
ah i see now, and then i just position the pets into “position”
Rather than:
math.clamp(OverlapMultiplier * #PetTable,4,math.huge)
Couldn’t you just do:
math.max(OverlapMultiplier * #PetTable, 4)
Oh yeah thanks for reminding me that those functions exist. I was wondering to myself if it does.
Sorry for the late reply but,
Heres my positioning code:
local clone = petModel:Clone()
petModel.Equipped.Value = true
clone.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
clone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame)
local attachChar = Instance.new("Attachment")
attachChar.Visible = false
attachChar.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart
attachChar.Position = --pos
local attachPet = Instance.new("Attachment")
attachPet.Visible = false
attachPet.Parent = clone.PrimaryPart
local alignPos = Instance.new("AlignPosition")
alignPos.MaxForce = 25000
alignPos.Attachment0 = attachPet
alignPos.Attachment1 = attachChar
alignPos.Responsiveness = 10
alignPos.Parent = clone
local alignOr = Instance.new("AlignOrientation", clone)
alignOr.MaxTorque = 25000
alignOr.Attachment0 = attachPet
alignOr.Attachment1 = attachChar
alignOr.Responsiveness = 10
how would i implent yours and @MattPrograms code into it
The code I posted was used to create the nodes for the pets to follow so you would need to use your AlignPostion and AlignOrientation code snippets and assign each pet to one of those nodes.
local alignPos = Instance.new("AlignPosition")
alignPos.MaxForce = 25000
alignPos.Attachment0 = attachPet
alignPos.Attachment1 = attachChar --Instead of attaching to the character have it attach to one of the nodes
alignPos.Responsiveness = 10
alignPos.Parent = clone
local alignOr = Instance.new("AlignOrientation", clone)
alignOr.MaxTorque = 25000
alignOr.Attachment0 = attachPet
alignOr.Attachment1 = attachChar --Instead of attaching to the character have it attach to one of the nodes
alignOr.Responsiveness = 10
i did
local function setPetNodes(petCount,overlapMultipler)
local rotationOffset = 360/petCount --Determine how much degrees must be seperated between pets
for petNode = 1,petCount do
local currentNode = Instance.new("Part")
currentNode.Name = "Pet Node "..petNode
currentNode.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
currentNode.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(rotationOffset*petNode),0) * CFrame.new(-game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector*math.max(petCount*overlapMultipler,4)) * game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Parent = currentNode
weld.Part0 = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart
weld.Part1 = currentNode
currentNode.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
end
end
local function setupPet(clone)
local node = setPetNodes(amountEquipped, 1)
local attachChar = Instance.new("Attachment")
attachChar.Visible = false
attachChar.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart
local pos = Vector3.new(1,1,0)
attachChar.Position = pos
local attachPet = Instance.new("Attachment")
attachPet.Visible = false
attachPet.Parent = clone.PrimaryPart
local alignPos = Instance.new("AlignPosition")
alignPos.MaxForce = 25000
alignPos.Attachment0 = attachPet
alignPos.Attachment1 = node
alignPos.Responsiveness = 10
alignPos.Parent = clone
local alignOr = Instance.new("AlignOrientation", clone)
alignOr.MaxTorque = 25000
alignOr.Attachment0 = attachPet
alignOr.Attachment1 = node
alignOr.Responsiveness = 10
end
if amountEquipped < 5 and petModel.Equipped.Value == false and not game.Players.LocalPlayer.EquippedPets:FindFirstChild(petStringv) then
amountEquipped += 1
local clone = petModel:Clone()
petModel.Equipped.Value = true
clone.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
clone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame)
setupPet(clone)
local newPet = Instance.new("StringValue", game.Players.LocalPlayer.EquippedPets)
newPet.Name = petName
newPet.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.GameGui.Inventory.PetInfo.PetView[clone.Name].Value
end
but it just spawns in a part that follows me
i would really appreiciate it if you could go a little more into detail on this because im not fully understand how to do it,
i dont know where to place all the functions that you and @MattPrograms made
i dont know what to assign to what
etc
The function I provided was just used to position the nodes that the pets should use to follow the player. Basically you should call the function whenever a player changes the number of pets they have equipped to fit for the required amount of pets.
so how do i position the pets in the right place, as i said, it just makes a small part that follows the player
I was explaining that here. Make the pets AlignPosition and AlignOrientation be set to follow one of the nodes (aka the parts that my function was creating).
i did do that,
with the pet unachored it just falls out of the map and with it anchored it doesn’t do anything
What are the current properties of your AlignPosition? Since if they are to weak it’s going to cause issues. I would also recommend making the pets massless.
25000 max force
massless anchored or massless unanchored?
also another question i’ve been meaning to ask is what is overlap multiplier and do i use the script that @MattPrograms made in this, if so where
The OverlapMultiplier was a parameter to change the radius of the circle in which the nodes were generated. It was there to give some wiggle room depending on how big your pets are.
I think the issue is that you keep trying to do local node = setPetNodes(amountEquipped, 1) which is flawed since my function doesn’t return any value as it stands right now. If you would want this to work you would need to modify my function to add add each node in the for loop to a table and return that at the end of the function.
i see, so how could i do this without having to modify your function (the for loop returning)
It would be a messier approach but all of the Node Parts are parented in the Player’s Character. It would not be an ideal approach. If you want like I can modify the function to return the table of nodes.
ok i would appreciate that, this whole thing has me confused
Now when using this function it’s going to return a table so when assigning pets to each node you will need to iterate over the table to assign each to pet to one of the nodes.
local function setPetNodes(petCount,overlapMultipler)
local rotationOffset = 360/petCount --Determine how much degrees must be seperated between pets
local = nodeTable = {}
for petNode = 1,petCount do
local currentNode = Instance.new("Part")
currentNode.Name = "Pet Node "..petNode
currentNode.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
currentNode.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(rotationOffset*petNode),0) * CFrame.new(-game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector*math.max(petCount*overlapMultipler,4)) * game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Parent = currentNode
weld.Part0 = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart
weld.Part1 = currentNode
currentNode.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
table.insert(nodeTable,currentNode)
end
return nodeTable
end
