Script

The script it server script!

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	 wait(5)
	 for _,attch in pairs(game.ServerStorage.Attachments:GetChildren()) do
		local Cloned = attch:Clone()
		Cloned.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	  end
	  local CrystalFolder = Instance.new("Folder",player.Character)
	  local Cry1 = game.ServerStorage.Crystal:Clone()
	  local Cry2 = game.ServerStorage.Crystal:Clone()
	  local Cry3 = game.ServerStorage.Crystal:Clone()
	  local Cry4 = game.ServerStorage.Crystal:Clone()
	  CrystalFolder.Name = "Crystals"
	  Cry1.Parent = CrystalFolder
	  Cry2.Parent = CrystalFolder
	  Cry3.Parent = CrystalFolder
	  Cry4.Parent = CrystalFolder
	  local did = 1
	  for _,crystal in pairs(CrystalFolder:GetChildren()) do
		   crystal.Name = "Crystal"..did
		   crystal.Position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart["Crystal"..did].WorldPosition
		   did = did + 1
	   end
	local IsAlreadyTweening = false
	 while wait(0.001) do
		if IsAlreadyTweening == false then
		IsAlreadyTweening = true
			local did = 1
	     for _,crystal in pairs(CrystalFolder:GetChildren()) do
			   crystal.Name = "Crystal"..did
				local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(crystal,TweenInfo.new(0.3,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.In),{Position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart["Crystal"..did].WorldPosition},false)
				did = did + 1
			    Tween:Play()
			      end
			IsAlreadyTweening = false
		end
	end
end)
Result of that script

As you can see the tween is not smooth and look terrible!

Anyway thanks for reading and byee! <3

I think you can use BodyMovers to achieve this effect instead of tweening. Try using BodyPositions for moving the crystals and BodyGyros for rotating them.

About why it’s not so smooth, this is probably due to replication rate. The server has to replicate the tween to every client, which makes it look not so smooth.

#3

I don’t really understand how this can help me can you explain it more ?
Thanks

#4

You could maybe try making it so the tweening is performed by the client. (Maybe using set network owner?)

#5

You should create the tween on the client, this will make it really smooth for them. But also other people won’t be able to see the tween (I think).

#6

I got idea I think I will do remote event then when server will fire for all clients it will send TweenInfo changes etc. I will do it

#7

Yes you could do that but think about how many times it will send the tween to all clients. If you do it to often your server may become laggy.

#8

A good alternative would be to use the event RenderStepped + Lerp to change it very smoothly. To make it visible to everyone I recommend to use RemoteEvents and a ServerSkript. Before you ask me now, what is where who, I tell you already you should look for it instead of answering after 3 seconds.

#9

You could lerp the pets for all players inside only a local script:

local function follow()

      for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do

             -- your code

      end)
end

game.RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(follow)

ok that’s a random bump after 4 years, and an unexpected one not gonna lie :rofl:

But I see 2 issues lerping on the client side:

  • lerping isn’t that smooth and to run it every single renderstep makes it cost a lot of memory/energy, which is not good in a game with multiple players
  • if you change it on the client’s side, you will see it yeah, but everyone else won’t see it because what the client modifies doesn’t get replicated on the server (exceptions, however, are all related to the player’s own character, like being playing animations in a local script)

So, meanwhile AlignPositions got released, I would recommend you to fire a RemoteEvent to the server (if you get the pet after buying it or just use a serverscript to begin with), and on the server’s side, create an AlignPosition (if you create it in a client script it won’t actually exist in the server’s side. Again, this is done to prevent most exploits) and set up your AlignPosition there. Pretty sure AlignPositions nowadays fix this issue on their own
