hi guys, so the problem im facing is that when i try to place the tower (click the mouse) the tower does not clone. it was working before but stopped working after i added in a check to see where the tower is being placed. it tried using overlapParams to see what parts are being touched by tthe tower but that did not work. heres the code
local buttons = {}
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local isPlacing = false
local canPlace = false
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
function buttons.ClickButton(button)
local buttonTower
local newTower
local currentPosition
local bind
local unitRay
local currentPart
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
buttonTower = button:WaitForChild("Tower").Value
newTower = buttonTower:Clone()
isPlacing = true
newTower.Parent = workspace
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
bind = runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if isPlacing == true then
local mouseLocation = UIS:GetMouseLocation()
newTower:WaitForChild("Hitbox").Touched:Connect(function(hit)
currentPart = hit.Name
end)
local hrp = newTower:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local TSS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local inf = TweenInfo.new(.2)
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character, hrp, hrp.Parent}
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local function rayResult(x, y)
unitRay = camera:ScreenPointToRay(x, y)
return workspace:Raycast(unitRay.Origin, unitRay.Direction * 500, params)
end
local result = rayResult(UIS:GetMouseLocation().X, UIS:GetMouseLocation().Y)
local hit = result.Instance
local x;
local y;
local z;
if hit then
x = result.Position.X
y = result.Position.Y
z = result.Position.Z
end
for _, v in ipairs(newTower:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("Part") then
v.Transparency = 0.5
v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime Green")
end
end
currentPosition = CFrame.new(x, y, z)
local enf = {["CFrame"] = CFrame.new(x, 0, z) * CFrame.new(0, 3, 0)}
TSS:Create(hrp, inf, enf):Play()
else
return nil
end
end)
end)
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(i, gpx)
if not gpx and i.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and isPlacing == true then
if currentPart then
if currentPart.Name == "CanPlace" then
game.ReplicatedStorage.PLACE:FireServer(currentPosition, buttonTower)
newTower:Destroy()
isPlacing = false
elseif currentPart.Name == "NoPlace" then
print("cant place lol")
end
end
end
end)
end
return buttons
the above code is in a module and is being called in a client script
any help or advice is greatly appreciated
thanks
