Now that we have an UpperTorso, you should make it rotate to look where they’re aiming! I really dislike it when a gun is pointing at 0 degrees and shooting 80 degrees upwards. That would look pretty cool if you did that!
Out of curiosity, are you using ROBLOX animations or did you need to create your own animation framework because ROBLOX animations were too limiting? If so, what weren’t you able to do with ROBLOX animations?
I actually am using Roblox animations, the only issue that I’ve been having is animation priorities. It would be nice if I could set the priorities on a number scale like you can with zindex for a UI object…
I was trying to keep that ‘classic Roblox gunfighting’ feel that all the clanbags like. Almost all the people I force to help test my stuff, as well as almost all the people who know about my game and follow it are clanbags, and I don’t want to alienate what is currently my largest demographic.
I’m actually trying to something new, while still keeping it similar enough that they don’t get upset with it. You know me, I always tried to push away from the old jump-and-shoot gameplay that the clan world has done for so long, but I don’t want to go too far, because then I’ll just lose all the people I already have following it.
I haven’t even heard of that, but I think I’ll look into what it is and what I can do with it. I actually had some cool ideas using pathfindingservice for finding the objectives and stuff…
EDIT: Actually, I have heard of that, but I haven’t really played around with it at all.
Make an animation where the torso is pointed straight up and another straight down.
Calculate the angle and convert it to the proper weight.
To look straight ahead, both weights should be 0 and 0
To look straight up, the up animation should be 1 and down should be 0
To look ~ 45 degrees up, the up animation should be around 0.5 and down should be 0
etc
I think the most important thing to replacing RCL is:
a) open source
b) tons of features that “clanbags” like (pretty much an admin script to control it with like 100 commands)
c) built for filtering enabled
Honestly I also think they like the simplicity of the current system, I’m not even sure if they’d be open minded to anything new. Some people have spent many hours trying to become the “best” at it.
