I’m trying to make an ability when u press a certain key u can see NPCs, not players, through objects.
I don’t really know where to start. I’ve seen people say to use viewport frames and billboard GUI, but I’m not exactly sure how viewport frames work.
Is there like a straight forward way to do this? Or is this actually pretty hard to do?
Thank you for your time.
I believe this would work for what you’re trying to do.
mhm, surface gui’s, i might be able to do this. Thanks
Alright, thank you for that reference got it to work just like I wanted to. Not sure about the efficiency, but it works.
I know this has already been answered, but I wanted to inform you of another method. Another way you could probably approach this is with the use of ViewportFrames. This way, you get more scalability and customization with whatever you are trying to do. You would make a ViewportFrame the size of a script, make the background transparent, keep updating the camera to the same position as the one of the workspace, and just clone whatever characters you want to clone. Additionally, you could clone custom models to make it look differently, although it is up to you. @iluvtcr’s method also works greatly and is much easier to implement.
If u want different result than the Solution.
U can use this project i made a while ago, it uses ViewPortframes

Thank you for this. it is legit perfect. Might take me a few hours just to understand it lol
Hey man, so i’ve been trying to fully implement your solution, while it does seem to work.
Whenever an NPC dies, it doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Do you know why? If it’s too much trouble, it’s ok.
Ups i gota fix that, its just a thing if i forgot to check
okay so here is what i forgot to fix
if RealModule.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then CloneModule:Destroy() table.remove(Humanoids,i) continue end
line 75
Inside the ScreenGui called Controll
That fixes the problem with the npc still visible after death. But it doesn’t fix the problem that the npc isn’t highlighted anymore.
ok brb i will do a fast change rq
i redid alot of the code so just copy and paste it

Still doesn’t seem to work.
I appreciate all the effort. But please don’t go out of your way for me.
is the enemy added to workspace or a folder?
all enemies are in a folder…but i tried putting it in the workspace and still doesn’t work.
The enemy is just something i found in toolbox. Can it be the respawn script that it has that causes the problem?
Yea that’s the problem. It can detect them being added to workspace only, but since the respawn script doesn’t really remove the character, it just respawns it.
To work just make sure u do other way of respawning them if u are going to make respawn system
alright, ill make my own respawn script. Thank you for all this. Ill let u know when i figure something out.
just made my own respawn script, works like a charm now.
Really, thank you…you’re a life saver.
