I am currently trying to make a 2.5D fighting game with Roblox but I’ve ran into an issue, I cant seem to disable movement on the Z axis.
I’ve tried scripts from here on the Devforum and elsewhere including YouTube tutorials but nothing seems to work.
The closest I’ve got was making it so the player can only use A, D and the Spacebar, however the issue is that approach depends on the camera angle, and i want the camera to zoom in and zoom out if the players are close or far apart and i want it to zoom a bit if the players are close together, which would mean changing the camera angle which would mean changing the player’s axis.
If anybody knows how to disable this axis and can help out that’d be seriously appreciated
Thank you,
Clown.
(btw i mean this Z axis, sometimes people swap it with the Y axis!)
You could disable the default movement systems for the character and create your own which only listens for a/d and spacebar, and only moves the player in the x and y axis.
If you use the code below, you can put it into a local script named ControlScript in StarterPlayerScripts. That will disable the default movement and replace it with this.
With the code below, you’ll want to change the position, images/text of the action buttons for mobile players.
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Jump = false
local LeftDown = false
local RightDown = false
local function JumpAction(ActionName, InputState)
if InputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
Jump = true
elseif InputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
Jump = false
end
end
local function LeftAction(ActionName, InputState)
if InputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
LeftDown = true
elseif InputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
LeftDown = false
end
end
local function RightAction(ActionName, InputState)
if InputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
RightDown = true
elseif InputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
RightDown = false
end
end
ContextActionService:BindAction("Jump", JumpAction, true, Enum.KeyCode.Space, Enum.KeyCode.Space, Enum.KeyCode.Up, Enum.KeyCode.DPadUp, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonA)
ContextActionService:BindAction("Left", LeftAction, true, Enum.KeyCode.A, Enum.KeyCode.Left, Enum.KeyCode.DPadLeft)
ContextActionService:BindAction("Right", RightAction, true, Enum.KeyCode.D, Enum.KeyCode.Right, Enum.KeyCode.DPadRight)
local function Update()
if Player.Character and Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then --Make sure character exists & is loaded
if Jump then
Player.Character.Humanoid.Jump = true
end
local MoveDistance = 0
if LeftDown then MoveDistance += 1 end
if RightDown then MoveDistance -= 1 end
Player.Character.Humanoid:Move(Vector3.new(MoveDistance,0,0), false)
end
end
RunService:BindToRenderStep("Control", Enum.RenderPriority.Input.Value, Update)
