Ohhhhhh… then what @redwoodsteve said would probs work

#8

Wouldn’t it like grow exponentially higher cuz i is always increasing?

#9

you could use tweenService to tween the missile smoothly upwards, but it will not be affected by physics until the tween ends so the missile could go through roofs

local ts = game:GetService("tweenService")
local ti = TweenInfo.new(10,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0,false,0)
local goals = {["Position"] = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position += Vector3.new(0,100,0)}
local tween = ts:Create(ClonedMissle,ti,goals)
tween:Play() --play the tween (send missile upwards)

nvm I miss read your code I want it to teleport up and then like be able to control it from the sky not smoothly go up there and then when it hits the ground it makes what ever it hit blow up!

i fixed my error (instad of “humPos.Y + i” it is “humPos.Y + 1”)

hmm that would be difficult

you could use userInputService to detect when the player presses w,a,s or d then change the missile’s position accordingly

then anchor the player’s humanoidRootPart so they dont move their character while they are moving the missile

now just set the cameraType of workspace.currentCamera to scriptable and set its position to behind the nuke

edit: you would have a variable like “controllingMissile” as a boolean to detect if the player is currently controlling the missile

#13

Use a Touched event for the missile and check if the object/instance it touched isn’t the missile itself

#14

that’s what I would of done for the camera, but the movement is why I created this devfourm post!

#15

I use a single mesh for the missle so it would be okay

#16

nice, so all you have to detect the player’s input
the easiest way is to use userInputService, but on mobile you would not be able to control the missile

example:

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gpe)
	if not gpe and input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
		--update missile position to go forwards
	end
end)
#17

okay thanks! I’ll try that, i’ll try to find a mobile way but if you find one please tell me!

#18

this article might help with mobile movement

or you could just create a GUI with buttons for forwards, backwards, left and right

#19

okay thanks! do you know a way to constantly move the mesh forward vector forces won’t work because they don’t work on meshs! thanks in advance

#20

increment short amounts in short periods of time?

while true do
   move(0.01,0,0) --pretend function
   task.wait(0.01) --task.wait() is recommended over wait()
end
#21

testing that right now thanks! typing to turn over

#22

just dont use while(true) because it will loop indefinitely (you prob know that already)

#23

umm yeah I am using rotation to make it work so it can’t be in one direction it has to be in the direction of the front of the missle

#24

i found this post that will help:

(edited code from the post):
`

ClonedMissle.CFrame = ClonedMissle.CFrame + (ClonedMissle.CFrame.LookVector + Vector3.new(1,0,0))

`
keep in mind that this algorithm uses CFrames and not positions

#25

Thank you for the pretend function. I was trying to pretend but couldnt !
