Getting straight to the point: I’d like to make a fortnite-like storm zone system where a large zone closes in slowly all the way until the entire map is in the storm. The problem is that the part size limit, 2048 prevents a storm like this from being created, since the storm should be larger than that. Ive looked for posts and none of them seem to help.
Ive already found out how to make bigger parts for the middle of the storm (the edges of the storm). Just want to know how I can resize, or fill the inside of the storm.
Any tips? Kinda urgent, so help would be appreciated.
Alright. You could of left a more detailed explanation of why you don’t understand.
Alternatively, All I need to know is how to make it so there’s a specific area where the player doesn’t take damage which can be larger than the part size limit, and can be moved and resized dynamically.
You can make bigger parts if you create a large cube in Blender, export it as an obj, and import it as a meshpart with the Import 3D button. Collisions and ZonePlus will work.
It’s the storm inside I’m working on for you. Once I finish I’ll give you the final result. I already got it working where players in the storm inside take no damage and players outside do, but I need to code the visuals for the walls now.
Unfortunately I couldn’t get the borders working properly, it may be possible with SpecialMeshes or some math. But this is all I could do.
