I Need Help With My Fishing Rod

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi there. I ran into a issue where a fishing rod that I made would pull me along with it when I fired it.

I’ve already tried setting all parts to Massless but it didn’t work. I’ve also started to try to extend the rope constraint while the Lure is moving but that didn’t work either.

Can you please provide me the script? I believe we cannot help you without the code that you put in the rod. You will need to show us the script code before we can investigate on what you messed up on

What is Lure? I am not sure what lure does to the player and how it fires the fishing rod to be casted outside. I am curious on which thing you used. The script looks legitimate to me. You may need an anchored part so it cannot drag the player. You would need a debounce for the top of the rod, so it can cast out like a normal fishing rod.

I’ve tried that but I don’t want the player to be anchored.

Make a part unanchored for the top of the rod. The thing needs to be unanchored for a short amount of time so you could add a Wait() next to anchored an unanchored part that triggers the rod for it to pass the thing. When it stops make the part unanchored.

I’ll try to figure something out because I really don’t want the character to be anchored. If I have no options that will be my last choice.

Took me a while, but I got it working / looking better. I used velocity instead of the body velocity, projectile motion to make casting look nicer / get the ball to stop rolling with bodygyro.

server script:

local isCasted = script.Parent.Casted
local tip = script.Parent.Tip

function getVelocity(player, mousePosition)
	local time = 1;
	local gravity = Vector3.new(0, -game.Workspace.Gravity, 0);
	local initialPosition = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * Vector3.new(0, 8, -1)
	local velocity = (mousePosition - initialPosition - 0.5*gravity*time*time)/time;
	return velocity
end

function createLure(player, mousePosition)
	local lure = Instance.new('Part')
	lure.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Light orange')
	lure.Material = "Neon"
	lure.CanCollide = true
	lure.Shape = 'Ball'
	lure.Size = Vector3.new(0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
	lure.Name = "Lure"			
	lure.CustomPhysicalProperties = PhysicalProperties.new(1, 0, 0, 1, 1)
	lure.Parent = script.Parent
	lure.CFrame = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 8, -1)
	lure.Velocity =  getVelocity(player, mousePosition)
	
	return lure
end


function createRope(lure, mousePosition)
	local Attachment = Instance.new('Attachment')
	
	local mag = (mousePosition - script.Parent.Tip.Position).Magnitude
	local rope = Instance.new('RopeConstraint')
	rope.Thickness = 0.05
	rope.Visible = true
	rope.Length = math.clamp(mag, 10,30)
	rope.Attachment0 = tip.Attachment
	rope.Attachment1 = Attachment
	rope.Name = "Rope"
	
	rope.Parent = lure
	Attachment.Parent = lure
	
	return rope
end

script.Parent.Mouse.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, lookVector, mousePosition)
	if lookVector then
		if not isCasted.Value then
			isCasted.Value = true
			local lure = createLure(player, mousePosition)
			local rope = createRope(lure, mousePosition)
			game:GetService("ServerStorage").Fishing.WeldLure:Clone().Parent = lure
			

			
			wait(.5)
			
			--stop ball from rolling
			local bodyGyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro")
			bodyGyro.Parent = lure
			
			while true do
				wait()
				bodyGyro.CFrame = lure.CFrame
			end
		else
			isCasted.Value = false
			script.Parent:WaitForChild("Lure"):WaitForChild("Rope"):Destroy()
			script.Parent:WaitForChild("Lure"):Destroy()
		end
	else
		isCasted.Value = false
	end
end)

local script:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
		local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
		local unitRay = camera:ScreenPointToRay(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
		local ray = Ray.new(unitRay.Origin, unitRay.Direction * 40)
		local partHit, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, player.Character)
		
		script.Parent:WaitForChild("Mouse"):FireServer(ray.Direction, position)
	end)
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("Mouse"):FireServer()
end)

Still glitches out but I’ll work my way through it.

I think that the lure is actually somehow connecting itself with the character’s HumanoidRootPart as when I anchored the humanoidrootpart, the lure stopped moving entirely.
