soo… my procrastinating self (i cant focus on my projects) decided to randomly make a nextbot.
Now, I saw a little DevForum tutorial on how to do so, however - I also saw you really only need a hitbox. (Also inspired by how evade does it)
Now - how do I make this lil’ guy stand straight and move, and not fall?
Is a rig required?
You could make a model, add the Head, Torso, Right Arm, Left Arm, Right Leg and Left Leg but make them small invisible parts, then make the humanoidRootPart the hitbox. Then add a humanoid and use humanoid:MoveTo()
This is what i do when i have to make models that arent rigs a humanoid
Fair enough, I guess. Probably how Evade devs do it.
Also make it collidable but make a player collision group i suppose
Oh, and how would I do that? I’ve been hearing about that but I don’t get collision groups - like you toggle some stuff but yeah. Confusing.
I know this is a big hypothetical scenario (and that this isn’t a discussion topic), but what if Velocity would be tweaked instead of using :MoveTo()? I’ve heard that using it is pretty expensive.
erm… how do I make this fella not turn his hitbox sideways?
Under the model section, click collision groups, then you can create collision groups
For example:
I create a collision group called “Player”. Now i toggle player off on player, meaning parts with the player group wont collide with other parts with the player group. Now i just set all of the parts inside the character to player, and boom! Now players can go through each other!
oh i also forgot, make welds inside the humanoidrootpart and set it to the other parts
Well, a HumanoidRootPart is already enough, there’s no need to add limbs.
Really? I thought you needed limbs to make it walk and such
local npc = script.Parent
local hrpOfNPC = npc:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local plrsHit = {}
local maxDistance = math.huge
local function applyForce(hrp)
if not hrp then return end
if not hrpOfNPC then return end
local dir = (hrpOfNPC.Position - hrp.Position).Unit
hrpOfNPC.AssemblyLinearVelocity = dir * 16
task.wait(1)
end
npc.Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touch.Parent) and not plrsHit[game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touch.Parent)] then
plrsHit[game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touch.Parent)] = true
touch.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
wait(1)
plrsHit[game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touch.Parent)] = false
end
end)
while wait() do
local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local closestHRP
for i, plr in pairs(plrs) do
if plr.Character and plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and plr.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
local hrp = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
local distanceBetween = (hrpOfNPC.Position - hrp.Position).Magnitude
if not closestHRP then closestHRP = hrp end
if (hrpOfNPC.Position - closestHRP.Position).Magnitude > distanceBetween then
closestHRP = hrp
end
end
end
if closestHRP and (hrpOfNPC.Position - closestHRP.Position).Magnitude <= maxDistance then applyForce(hrpOfNPC) end
end
( chase script that I saw on the tutorial that I edited)
I edited the script to apply velocity to the hitbox, but for some reason, it instead propels it into the void or whatever, as the moment it loads - its gone
I think there’s a RotationVelocity instance that could fix that I’m not sure if that’s the right one tho
You could try to set the friction to 0 and add align rotation to it. I am pretty sure evade doesn’t use rigs because I’ve seen videos where the nextbot didn’t load properly and there was this red cilinder.
How do I use alignRotation correctly? It’s confusing.
Add an attachment under the part you want the AlignOrientation to work on. After that add the AlignOrientation, set the attachment mode to OneAttachment instead of Two. Set the Attachment0 to the previously added attachment, turn on RigidityEnabled and vióla! It should work now! You can mess with the CFrame>Orientation to control how you wanna rotate it.
It does seem to work, although he can’t move anymore. I suppose I’m meant to switch to using velocity or whatever?
You mean it can’t move in linear or angular ways?
It can’t move linearly, like, the script uses MoveTo(), and the fella can’t move. Oh, and it’s also stuck to the ground, not sure how to fix that.
