Issue with custom character replication!

[FireStrykerAzul]

Hi !
I made a script that move a custom character !
Here the script :

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Distance = Instance.new("NumberValue")
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local function GetParts()
	local Parts = {}
	for v, Part in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
		if Part:IsA("BasePart") then
			table.insert(Parts, Part)
		end
	end
	return Parts
end

local function GetBiggestPart()
	local BiggestPart
	for v, Part in pairs(GetParts(Character)) do
		if BiggestPart == nil or BiggestPart.Size.Z < Part.Size.Z then
			BiggestPart = Part
		end
	end
	return BiggestPart
end

local function GetDifference()
	return Camera.ViewportSize * 0.5 - UserInputService:GetMouseLocation()
end

local function GetSpeed(Part)
	local Speed = GetDifference().Magnitude / (Camera.ViewportSize.Y / 2)
	local Value = GetBiggestPart().Size.Z / Part.Size.Z
	if Value > 2 then
		Value = 2
	end
	if Speed >= 1 then
		return Value
	else
		return Speed * Value
	end
end

local function GetPosition(Part)
	local Speed = GetSpeed(Part)
	local Difference = GetDifference()
	local X = Difference.Y
	local Z = Difference.X
	local Denominator = math.abs(X) + math.abs(Z)
	local XPercentage = math.abs(X) / Denominator * math.sign(X) * -1
	local ZPercentage = math.abs(Z) / Denominator * math.sign(Z)
	local Percentage = 1 / math.sqrt(XPercentage^2 + ZPercentage^2)
	XPercentage *= Percentage
	ZPercentage *= Percentage
	return Part.Position + Vector3.new((XPercentage * Speed) / 4, 0, (ZPercentage * Speed) / 4)
end

local function GetDistance(Size, Percentage)
	return Size / Percentage / math.tan(math.rad(35)) / 2
end

local function SetDistance(Parts, Part)
	local MinX = math.huge
	local MaxX = -math.huge
	local MinZ = math.huge
	local MaxZ = -math.huge
	for v, Part in pairs(Parts) do
		if Part.Position.X - Part.Size.X / 2 < MinX then
			MinX = Part.Position.X - Part.Size.X / 2
		end
		if Part.Position.X + Part.Size.X / 2 > MaxX then
			MaxX = Part.Position.X + Part.Size.X / 2
		end
		if Part.Position.Z - Part.Size.Z / 2 < MinZ then
			MinZ = Part.Position.Z - Part.Size.Z / 2
		end
		if Part.Position.Z + Part.Size.Z / 2 > MaxZ then
			MaxZ = Part.Position.Z + Part.Size.Z / 2
		end
	end
	local X = math.abs(MinX - MaxX)
	local Z = math.abs(MinZ - MaxZ)
	local XDistance
	local ZDistance
	if #Parts > 1 then
		XDistance = GetDistance(X, 0.5)
		ZDistance = GetDistance(Z, 0.5)
	else
		XDistance = GetDistance(X, 0.2)
		ZDistance = GetDistance(Z, 0.2)
	end
	if XDistance > ZDistance then
		Distance.Value = XDistance
	else
		Distance.Value = ZDistance
	end
end

local function SetCameraCFrame()
	local Parts = GetParts(Character)
	SetDistance(Parts, GetBiggestPart())
	local Position = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
	for v, Part in pairs(Parts) do
		Position += Vector3.new(Part.Position.X, 0, Part.Position.Z)
	end
	Position /= #Parts
	Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Position + Vector3.new(0, Distance.Value, 0)) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-90), 0, math.rad(90))
end

local function Update()
	for v, Part in pairs(GetParts()) do
		Part.Position = GetPosition(Part)
	end
	SetCameraCFrame()
end

local function GetInformations()
	local Informations = {}
	for v, Part in pairs(GetParts()) do
		table.insert(Informations, {Part, Part.Position})
	end
	return Informations
end

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(Update)

How it’s look like :

The only problem is that this movement isn’t replicated to the server !
How could I replicate it ?
Have a nice day and thanks you for the reply !

In most case (except specific rare occasions like the player object) localscript actions does not replicate to the server thanks to the filtering service. I sadly can’t help you with this issues since I do not have the knowledge for it but I can give you a hint. You need to use Network Ownership to replicate the client-side to the server-side

Here some resources, good luck

Network Ownership

Network ownership for beginners - How to handle physics on the client

What is network ownership? Let’s first ask the more simple question - What is the part’s network owner and what does it do? Network owner is the BasePart’s physics handler. Any movements the BasePart makes, is handled by the network owner. The network owner could either be the server, or one of the players. Let’s say we have Part in workspace. Now if a LocalScript moves the part, it will only move it for the LocalScript’s LocalPlayer. Here’s some shapes on a client’s screen: [image] After…

I tried but my part is anchored …
Thanks you for the reply !

If you can not use NetworkOwnership just use a RemoteEvent and pass it through the server.

[Med367367 (Med)]

Using remoteEvents for continuous character movement is a really bad idea. If several players are present in the game, or if several requests are sent quite enought, all remoteEvents will be “rateLimited”. Also, remoteEvents and remoteFunctions have a limited amount of data they can send per request.

Unanchoring it and letting Roblox take care of the problem is probably the easiest method, otherwise, you must communicate your inputs/character positions to the server and update the model (or another model) on the server, using remotes.

I have done this with remote function and it work better than before !
Thanks you !
