I have created a building system and I followed this tutorial, everything is working smoothly except for this small issue.
-
What do you want to achieve? The wall gets placed at the mouse’s position.
-
What is the issue? The wall gets placed but the Y-axis keeps being changed and going into the ground with different values every time.
Examples
Example 1:
Example 2:
^ All put by the same system, different Y-axis every time even though I placed them on the same terrain.
- What solutions have you tried so far? I have tried to change the script a little bit and optimize it but it doesn’t seem like I can solve it myself.
Here are the scripts that I used for this.
The LocalScript located in the ScreenGUI:
local Rep = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage');
local PlaceStructure = Rep:WaitForChild('PlaceStructure');
local MainFrame = script.Parent.MainFrame;
local Structures = Rep:WaitForChild('Structures');
local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService');
local RunService = game:GetService('RunService');
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local StructureFrame = script.Parent.MainFrame.StructureFrame;
local char = Player.Character or Player.Character:Wait();
local HumanoidRootPart = char:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart');
local MouseClicked = false;
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse();
local yBuildingOffset = 5;
local MaxPlacingDistance = 50;
local rKetIsPressed = false;
local PlacingStructure = false;
for _, StructureButton in pairs(StructureFrame.Structures:GetChildren()) do
if StructureButton:IsA('TextButton') then
StructureButton.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
MainFrame.Visible = false;
local yOrientation = 0;
local goodToPlace = false;
local PlacedStructure;
if PlacingStructure == false then
PlacingStructure = true;
local ClientStructure = Structures:FindFirstChild(StructureButton.Name):Clone();
ClientStructure.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Bright green');
ClientStructure.Material = 'Neon';
ClientStructure.CanCollide = false;
ClientStructure.Parent = workspace;
local StartingCFrame = CFrame.new(0, -2, -15);
ClientStructure.CFrame = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(StartingCFrame);
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local mouseRay = Mouse.UnitRay;
local CastRay = Ray.new(mouseRay.Origin, mouseRay.Direction * 1000);
local ignoreList = {ClientStructure, char};
local hit, position = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(CastRay, ignoreList);
if hit and (HumanoidRootPart.Position - ClientStructure.Position).Magnitude < MaxPlacingDistance then
goodToPlace = true;
ClientStructure.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Bright green');
else
goodToPlace = false;
ClientStructure.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Crimson');
end
local newAnglesCFrame = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(yOrientation), 0);
local newCFrame = CFrame.new(position.X, position.Y + yBuildingOffset, position.Z);
ClientStructure.CFrame = newCFrame * newAnglesCFrame;
end)
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
rKetIsPressed = true;
local rotationSpeed = 5;
while rKetIsPressed do
wait();
if PlacingStructure == true then
yOrientation = yOrientation + rotationSpeed;
end
end
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
rKetIsPressed = false;
end
end)
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and MouseClicked == false then
MouseClicked = true;
if PlacingStructure == true then
if goodToPlace == true then
local StructureCFrame = ClientStructure.CFrame;
PlacedStructure = PlaceStructure:InvokeServer(ClientStructure.Name, StructureCFrame);
if PlacedStructure == true then
PlacingStructure = false;
ClientStructure:Destroy();
MainFrame.Visible = true;
end
end
end
MouseClicked = false;
end
end)
end
end)
end
end
The ServerScript in ServerScriptService:
local Rep = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage');
local PlaceStructure = Rep:WaitForChild('PlaceStructure');
local Structures = Rep:WaitForChild('Structures');
PlaceStructure.OnServerInvoke = function(Player, StructureName, StructureCFrame)
local Crafted;
local RealStructure = Structures:FindFirstChild(StructureName):Clone();
if RealStructure then
RealStructure.Anchored = true;
RealStructure.CFrame = StructureCFrame;
RealStructure.Parent = game.Workspace;
Crafted = true;
else
Crafted = false;
end
return Crafted;
I just couldn’t find the solution at all, the Y-axis keeps being changed every time I place a new wall and it goes under the ground. It would be appreciated if you could help me solve this issue. (:
