How to simultaneously mirror positions?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey guys,
I got an idea for a game, but at this stage I just cannot put the idea into practice.
In the game I would like to operate TWO characters at once, Humanoid A (the main one) and B, (the mirroring). If A goes left, the B goes right, and the other way round. If while walking one of humanoids stops because of the obstruction like a wall, the other character suppose to continue walking.
The following commands within

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()

are slow, so the two walk at different speed…

humanoid_A:MoveTo(RootPartPosition_A)
humanoid_A.MoveToFinished:Wait()

Any ideas? Thanks.

Maybe instead of using :MoveTo, you would just use :Move() in the direction humanoid B is moving in like so:

--make humanoid A move in the same direction as humanoid B
humanoid_A:Move(humanoid_B.MoveDirection)

Hotter… Thank you very much for the hint!
I read Vector3, inverse it by axis X and make the other character move… But Humanoid_B starts moving SO LATE as supposed to… Please see the video.

When a level is loaded function move_the_friend which is called via RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function() just does not work for the first 20-22 seconds… and then the other humanoid starts to move a little bit as if he woke up… but stops accidentally… Only after the 50th second the other character starts moving the desired way (it is after about 3000+ cycles of RenderStepped) . No animation though, yet. But here is a question: why it takes time for the other humanoid to “wake up”? …

Cool game you got there.

Anyways, I believe the issue is lag or network ownership or something else within the function that I can’t see.

So I have a question is the script located within the server or the client? To get the best responsiveness try using a local script and use network ownership to give the NPC to the player.

Be mindful of exploiters though, use those server-side sanity checks to check the logic of the movement

BTW, please upload your video onto imgur or youtube so it’s easier for others to see.

YEY! The problem is fixed!! Thank you so much!! When a side_model is added to a Work_space, I apply :SetNetworkOwner(The_Player)

I just got back to this project again :slight_smile: Now I would like side B to WALK, animation for some reason does not work, though in the model it is properly cloned.
To be more specific and to revise the topic, here I put the question simple:

How to make a model WALK (animation) during move() command (NOT moveTO() )?
