https://gyazo.com/4df2f7e1ab57d6c846a36a5696b10f4a
(I never play pet sim but thats the only place i could think of to show)
So how can i make that and can a rookie scripter recreate something like similar to that?

Attach a BillboardGui to an invisible part. Add an AlignPosition to that part and make that part move towards the character.

It is that easy, the hardest part is probably programming the AlignPosition and also setting up the mass of the part, but it will be fairly simple. If you need any help setting it up, feel free to ask.

You could also use LinearVelocity, which may look smoother.

I’m assuming you’re struggling with using AlignPositions, so I’ve made a file for you:
PetSimDropAnimation.rbxl (59.3 KB)

Yo dude, i tried something myself and why doesnt this work?

local align = script.Parent.Parent.Attachment.AlignPosition

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character
	local torso = char:FindFirstChild("Torso")
	
	if torso then
		align.Attachment1 = torso.BodyFrontAttachment

	end
end)

Nvm, i see what i did wrong

I did some customising and made this:

local align = script.Parent.Parent.AlignPosition

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character
	local torso = char:FindFirstChild("Torso")
	
	if torso then
		align.Enabled = true
		while task.wait() do
			align.Position = torso.Position
			script.Parent.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
				if hit.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then
					script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
				end
			end)
			
		end
	end
end)

its working and because of you i finally know how to do stuff and know how to do stuff with align positions. I have two final questions tho, how do i make it faster? And why does it go the center of the world

Make sure your AlignPosition settings are the same as mine. To increase the speed, change the MaxForce or Responsiveness.

Stuff works better now, thanks again. But why does it go to the center first?

Fixed it, what i did was change the position of the thing to the pos of the part, but is there a way it does that automaticly?

#15

Just do it in the script right when you clone it.

Code:

AlignPosition.Position = part.Position

Also, good on you for trying to understand how it works lol.

#16

Yeah, i looked up tutorial to really learn the align pos stuff and i made this:

pretty happy with it, i understand now most of the properties

Very nice. If you have your solution, please set one of the replies as the solution. Good luck with your game.
