I’m currently making a Guided Missile and I can’t seem to find any posts related to this. What I’m trying to make is a Vehicle Marker.
So basically if you are on a radar seat you can see Vehicle Markers like this:
I am still struggling to find a script like this. I have tried making a script that detects a part with a specific name will make a gui frame follow it but it still doesn’t work.
Hey @officer_wiki,
it doesn’t seem intuitive to have an ImageLabel “follow” a part. Instead, instancing a BillboardGui into the desired part on command is probably what you should opt for.
local targetPart = workspace.Target -- Reference your part here
local billboardGui = Instance.new("BillboardGui") -- Customize the BillboardGui below, don't forget to add the ImageLabel
local function acquireTarget()
billboardGui.Parent = targetPart
end
local function leaveTarget()
billboardGui.Parent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") -- You can store it anywhere you'd like
end
-- Fire acquireTarget() if the player is seated and leaveTarget() if unseated
Hope this helps!
Wait but is it not possible for it to be a Frame? Since the BillboardGui always gets bigger or not smaller and I want to make it same size
Just change the pixel size of the BillboardGui, it won’t scale no matter how far or close you are to it
You can still use frame if you want to make your life 100 times harder
Well if I have to use then alright I guess…
Wait then how am I supposed to script it when there’s gonna be many parts. I don’t think it’s possible to detect that many since it’s random.
Wym by random?
Character limit. ------------
Assuming you have the parts you want to detect stored in a folder called “Targets”:
local targetParts = workspace.Targets -- Reference your folder here
local billboardGui = Instance.new("BillboardGui") -- Customize the BillboardGui below, don't forget to add the ImageLabel
local function acquireTarget()
for _, target in ipairs(targetsParts:GetChildren()) do
local billboardGuiCopy = billboardGui:Clone() -- copies the BillboardGui each time the function is called
billboardGuiCopy.Parent = target
end
end
local function leaveTarget()
for _, target in ipairs(targetsParts:GetChildren()) do
target.NameOfTheBillboardGui:Destroy() -- removes the copies again
end
end
-- Fire acquireTarget() if the player is seated and leaveTarget() if unseated
Alternatively you can scan Workspace for parts with a specific name:
local targetName = "target" -- Set the name of the targets
local billboardGui = Instance.new("BillboardGui") -- Customize the BillboardGui below, don't forget to add the ImageLabel
local function acquireTarget()
for _, content in ipairs(game:GetService("Workspace"):GetDescendants()) do
if content:IsA("BasePart") and content.name == targetName then -- assuming the target is a part
local billboardGuiCopy = billboardGui:Clone()
billboardGuiCopy.Parent = content
end
end
end
local function leaveTarget()
for _, content in ipairs(game:GetService("Workspace"):GetDescendants()) do
if content:IsA("BasePart") and content.name == targetName then
content.BillboardGuiName:Destroy()
end
end
end
-- Fire acquireTarget() if the player is seated and leaveTarget() if unseated
No the problem is like this:
How am I supposed to get all of the target billboards if they are all inside a model. Unless there is a script that finds a part name with descendant from workspace.
for _,inst in parent:GetDescendants() do
if inst:IsA("BillboardGui") then
--...
end
end
(I’ve been doing it this way. Someone please tell me if there’s a more efficient method)
I still don’t know how to get the workspace descendant, It just doesn’t work.
