Is a reliable, works 100% of the time, fall damage script even possible atm?

yes you might be right, i tried using heartbeat instead but still velocity is around 0 when the player lands

#23

actually from what i have read, serverside scripts can’t be accessed by anything, unlike local scripts they cannot be decompiled by third party software. I will consult others here on devforum regarding this. Thank you either way

#24

I made a script once that measured the highest value of the changing velocity property of a part. seems to work well. (Used it to measure projectile speeds on a physics catapult)

#25

How tho? Would it allow for migration of his script server side? I am really reluctant to use a local script for damage

#26

It assumes there is no slowing down then reaccelerating before impact.

If you had it run (or something similar) each freefall, it could work. Then you just apply damage base on max impact speed.

local rock = script.Parent

local maxVelocity = 0
local currentIsLarger = true

while currentIsLarger do
	if maxVelocity <= rock.Velocity.Magnitude then
		maxVelocity = rock.Velocity.Magnitude
	else
		currentIsLarger = false
	end
	wait()
end
print(maxVelocity)
#29

raycast below the character with runservice loop, and if the instance’s material changes from nil to Enum.Material.IDK then fire an event declaring that the player has landed

#30

Why not just do this inside of a character? This solution is pretty simple and very reliable. May be exploitable but I’m not one of those people that cry about exploits that prevent such a small thing such as fall damage, just ban them, or don’t even do anything.

This can happen when jumping but you can use ways to prevent that.

--// Variables

local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Root = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Torso",math.huge)

local BuiltupMagnitude = 0

local FallingStates = {Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall}


Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old,new)
	print("Current State : "..tostring(new))
	if table.find(FallingStates,new) and not table.find(FallingStates,old) then
		
		repeat
			local Magnitude = Root.Velocity.Magnitude
			if Magnitude>BuiltupMagnitude then
				BuiltupMagnitude = Magnitude
			end

			task.wait()
		until not table.find(FallingStates,Humanoid:GetState())
		
		if BuiltupMagnitude>=30 then
			Humanoid.Health-=BuiltupMagnitude/2
			BuiltupMagnitude = 0
		end
		
	end
end)
