You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to achieve the mouse not hitting parts except the baseplate
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
the mouse hits every part it touches, making moving or interacting very difficult in an isometric camera.
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
none, because my issue doesn’t exist on the forums
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
The Code:
--//Player Look//--
local target = Mouse.Hit.p
local newYTarget = hrp.Position.Y -- Keep the Y position of the root part
hrp.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(hrp.Position, Vector3.new(target.X, newYTarget, target.Z))
(note, hrp is humanoid root part.)
Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.
You should look into raycasting - you can utilize the RaycastParams to only include certain parts in workspace
local rayOrigin = camera.CFrame.Position
local rayDirection = mouse.Hit.Position
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {baseplate} – Put objects to exclude here
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
raycastParams.IgnoreWater = true
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection, raycastParams)
And then you get your part like this below:
local partThatWasHit = raycastResult.Instance
You could also utilize “Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include” instead of Exclude if it’s easier to include the “good” parts than to exclude the “bad” ones
so how would i be able to use cframe:lookat with this? sorry about this but i have never touched raycasting before. also, to clarify, i want to only hit the baseplate.
Hello, like what @Physicism said, you need to use raycasting to omit or whitelist parts that you want your mouse to hit. I’ll show you how I would do this
local mouseray = mouse.UnitRay -- Ray fired from cam to mouse
local raycastparams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastparams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Baseplate}
raycastparams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include -- Ray will only detect if it hits the baseplate
local ray = workspace:Raycast(mouseray.Origin,mouseray.Direction,raycastparams)
if ray then -- If ray hit the baseplate
local raypos = ray.Position --[[Every ray has this property
which determines the position of intersection between hitpart
and ray]]
local hrpypos = hrp.Position.Y
hrp.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(hrp.Position,Vector3.new(raypos.X,hrpypos,raypos.Z))
end
to confirm, it is a local script. here is the entire code
RunService:BindToRenderStep("MoveOverride", Enum.RenderPriority.Character.Value + 1, function()
if Player.Character then
Camera.FieldOfView = FieldOfView
local humanoid = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local hrp = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if humanoid and hrp then
--//Humanoid Movement.//--
local characterCFrame = hrp.CFrame
local fixedDirection = Vector3.zero
local inputDirection = getInputDirection()
if inputDirection ~= Vector3.zero then
fixedDirection = characterCFrame:VectorToWorldSpace(inputDirection)
end
humanoid:Move(fixedDirection, false)
--//Isometric Camera//--
game:GetService("SoundService"):SetListener(Enum.ListenerType.ObjectCFrame, Character.HumanoidRootPart)
Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position.X + zoom, Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y + zoom, Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Z + zoom), Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
--//Player Look//--
local mouseray = Mouse.UnitRay -- Ray fired from cam to mouse
local raycastparams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastparams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Baseplate}
raycastparams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include -- Ray will only detect if it hits the baseplate
local ray = workspace:Raycast(mouseray.Origin,mouseray.Direction,raycastparams)
if ray then -- If ray hit the baseplate
local raypos = ray.Position --[[Every ray has this property
which determines the position of intersection between hitpart
and ray]]
local hrpypos = hrp.Position.Y
hrp.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(hrp.Position,Vector3.new(raypos.X,hrpypos,raypos.Z))
end
end
end
end)
(the player look is where i have placed your code at.)
if i try to send a vid my pc either lags and the video is of shit quality or doesn’t give me the video entirly. my pc, a ASUS vivobook, has the computer proccessing power of a slice of asparagus.
so. whenever i start the game, it loads like you expect, no errors in the console. however, instead of the character following the mouse, it just doesn’t rotate, since i have Humanoid.AutoRotate = false.
Yes it does. Let me break down mouseray.Direction.Unit * 1000 for you UNIT
What unit does is basically shorten the given Vector3 to a magnitude (length) of 1 while still retaining the direction of the Vector3. So unit is very useful to produce a small Vector3 for you to change
*1000
Since we used .Unit to shorten the direction to a length of 1, we are free to extend it to a length of our choice. The number can be anythjng, but I picked 1000 here since its a nice number
