How would I go about making Interactive plants/grass

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#14

thanks! I will do that right now

#15

this is what I scripted but it does not work, Do you know why?

local grass = script.Parent.Parent.Grass
local ts = game:GetService(“TweenService”)

grass.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then

	local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local movedir = hum.MoveDirection.Unit
	print(movedir.X, movedir.Z)
	local facevector = grass.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(movedir.X), math.rad(0), math.rad(movedir.Z))

	local tween = ts:Create(grass, TweenInfo(.5), {CFrame = grass.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(movedir.X), math.rad(0), math.rad(movedir.Y))})

	tween:Play()

end

end)

#16

it says I ERROR: attempted to call a table value

#17

What line of the script? You need to give all the info about the error possible.

#18

ooh sorry ya line it is 15 i cant figure out why

#19

so I was thinking and I decided to put all the plants in a folder, so I rewrote the script to make it work for all plants. The issue is that that doesn’t even work I set it to move the primary part but it won’t work. Btw I fixed the line 15 issue I had to put 0.5 in the TweenInfo spot

#20

here is the new script

local grassfolder = workspace.Grass
local ts = game:GetService(“TweenService”)

while wait(.1) do
for i, grass in pairs(grassfolder:GetChildren()) do

	grass.HitBox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			
			local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			local movedir = hum.MoveDirection.Unit
			print(movedir.X, movedir.Z)
			local facevector = grass.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(movedir.X), math.rad(0), math.rad(movedir.Z))

			local tween = ts:Create(grass.PrimaryPart, TweenInfo(.5), {CFrame = grass.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(movedir.X), math.rad(0), math.rad(movedir.Y))})
			
			tween:Play()
			
		end
	end)
end

end

You are connecting the same Touched events every 1/10 of a second. This is very inefficient code.

Is every grass a model?

#22

yes they are models. but the grass model has like 20 stands from grass in it

#23

this is the grass model

You can’t tween models just by tweening the primarypart there is something else to do.

Here is a method:

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local info = TweenInfo.new()

local function tweenModel(model, CF)
	local CFrameValue = Instance.new("CFrameValue")
	CFrameValue.Value = model:GetPivot()

	CFrameValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):connect(function()
		model:PivotTo(CFrameValue.Value)
	end)
	
	local tween = tweenService:Create(CFrameValue, info, {Value = CF})
	tween:Play()
	
	tween.Completed:connect(function()
		CFrameValue:Destroy()
	end)
end

ok, i will try it, but how would i test this do i just put this in the model or?

#26

tweenModel(grassModel, tweenInfo, CFrame)

#27

wait but that would not work there is no touched event

#28

It’s a METHOD to tween the model… You put it in the touched event.

#29

ooh ok, thanks! sorry sometimes my brain doesn’t process things lol

#30

I don’t know why but i am really struggling to figure this out, everything I try to do to make it work doesn’t work I don’t know what I am doing wrong. The whole script is a mess now lol

#31

hey! so I have been trying to use this guy’s script to try and implement it into mine because I have no other idea on how to do it myself. I was wondering if you could walk me through the script so i could understand it better and maybe try using it to make my plants shake. I found this guys when searching and he is trying to do the same thing as me

#32

i want to try and understand this version of the script

local grassfolder = workspace.Grass
local Players = game:GetService(‘Players’)
local ts = game:GetService(“TweenService”)

for i, grass in pairs(grassfolder:GetChildren()) do
local CharModel = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA(‘Accesory’)

	grass.HitBox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(CharModel) then
			
			local hum = CharModel:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			local movedir = hum.MoveDirection.Unit
			local facevector = grass.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(movedir.X), math.rad(0), math.rad(movedir.Z))

			local tween = ts:Create(grass.PrimaryPart, TweenInfo(.5), {CFrame = grass.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(movedir.X), math.rad(0), math.rad(movedir.Y))})
			
			tween:Play()
			
		end
	end)
end

To make plants tween in the direction the player is walking, you will need to use some scripting. You will need to create a script that will detect the player’s direction and then use a tweening library to move the plants in the same direction.

The code would look something like this:

// Get the player’s direction
Vector2 direction = playerObject.transform.position - transform.position;

// Move the plants in the same direction
transform.position = Vector2.Lerp(transform.position, transform.position + direction, Time.deltaTime);
