the problem and failed solution
I already looked at this post but no results
Dragdetector max range?
i want it exactly like the example, but i cant replicate it no matter what i do
in the example, it is utilizing the AddConstraintFunction
i also want to use this function but i dont understand the example code
code i got so far
it sometimes work but, lots of bugs
local radius = 25
local startPartPosition = nil
dragDetector.DragStart:Connect(function(player, cursorRay)
local root = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
dragDetector.ReferenceInstance = root
startPartPosition = raycast(cursorRay, dragDetector, object).Position
end)
dragDetector.DragEnd:Connect(function()
startPartPosition = nil
end)
--limits the drag range
dragDetector:AddConstraintFunction(1, function(proposedMotion)
return constraint(proposedMotion, dragDetector, radius, startPartPosition)
end)
return function(proposedMotion, dragDetector, radius, startPartPosition)
if startPartPosition == nil then
return proposedMotion
end
local worldMotion = dragDetector:GetReferenceFrame():VectorToWorldSpace(proposedMotion.Position)
local newPartPosition = startPartPosition + worldMotion
local center = dragDetector.ReferenceInstance.Position
if (newPartPosition - center).Magnitude > radius then
local dir = (newPartPosition - center).Unit
newPartPosition = center + dir * radius
local newWorldTranslation = newPartPosition - startPartPosition
local newRefSpaceTranslation = dragDetector:GetReferenceFrame():VectorToObjectSpace(newWorldTranslation)
return proposedMotion.Rotation + newRefSpaceTranslation
else
return proposedMotion
end
end
so far i got this, but im not satisfied with the results its quite buggy
by glitching, i mean it goes through the ground, it hovers in the air (aka the drop shadow)
it also ignores the raycasting and goes through parts when walking through
-here if you wanna test what i got so far
pizza constraint.rbxm (7.9 KB)-
new test place
block.rbxl (68.4 KB)
in action
explanation
so first the blue is the position of the character,
next position of the red is where the mouse is
the yellow (red and green combined) is within the range
or if outside the range the green position is 25 studs from the blue position to red position
and lastly another raycast from the camera to the green position
