Hello there!
I’m currently working on game that needs to have like ghost killing NPCS
But it is working the problem is I want the ghost is looking to a NPC that is he killing or the ghost looks where is he randomly going
This is my script:
local AttackableNPCS = workspace.AttackableNPCS
local GhostOwner = script.Parent.OWNER.Value
local IsAttacking = false
function GetNearestNPC()
local SelectedNPC = nil
for i,v in pairs(AttackableNPCS:GetChildren()) do
if (v.HumanoidRootPart.Position - script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.Position).Magnitude <= 30 then
SelectedNPC = v
break
end
end
return SelectedNPC
end
while wait() do
if GhostOwner == "NONE" then
script.Disabled = true
else
local SelectedNPC = GetNearestNPC()
if SelectedNPC == nil then
local RandomPos = script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-10,10),0,math.random(-10,10))
script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.BodyPosition.Position = RandomPos
wait(5)
elseif SelectedNPC ~= nil and IsAttacking == false then
IsAttacking = true
script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.BodyPosition.Position = SelectedNPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position - Vector3.new(math.random(-5,5),0,math.random(-5,5))
script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.BodyPosition.Position,SelectedNPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
repeat
wait()
until (SelectedNPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position - script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.Position).Magnitude <= 10
script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.BodyPosition.Position,SelectedNPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
local BeamEffect = game.ReplicatedStorage.AttackBeam:Clone()
BeamEffect.Parent = script.Parent.Ghost_BODY
BeamEffect.Attachment0 = script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.EffectAttachment
BeamEffect.Attachment1 = SelectedNPC.HumanoidRootPart.SoulEffect
SelectedNPC.HumanoidRootPart.SoulEmiterHandler.SoulEmmtier.Enabled = true
repeat
SelectedNPC.Humanoid.Health -= 5
wait(0.3)
until SelectedNPC.Humanoid.Health <= 0
BeamEffect:Destroy()
--game.Players[GhostOwner].leaderstats.Souls.Value += 1
wait(3)
IsAttacking = false
end
if SelectedNPC ~= nil then
if SelectedNPC:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(script.Parent.Ghost_BODY.BodyPosition.Position,SelectedNPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
end
end
end
end
actually ive changed my mind ToWorld Positoin will not work effectively for your game INSTEAD we are going to just use CFrame:
so as my example code it will make the Red Part (which you can compare to as your ghost to the blue part which you can treat asa your character
local redBlock = game.Workspace.RedBlock
local BlueBlock = game.Workspace.BlueBlock
local RedBlockPosition = redBlock.Position
local BlueBlockPosition = BlueBlock.Position
--parameter1: where the block is
--parameter2: where the block is looking
--so the block that will be looking is the "redBlock" it will be looking from the
--RedBlockPosition and it will be looking towards the BlueBlockPosition
redBlock.CFrame = CFrame.new(RedBlockPosition, BlueBlockPosition)
and what it does is makes this:
do this:
so in short you need to:
get the HumanoidRootPart.Position
get your Ghost.RootPart.Position
oh well if its the spinning thats annoying you then its probably your BodyGyro movements because they are really easy to get wrong, try instead use a service to move the Ghost to the Selected NPC
like:
–Tween Service
–Lerp Service
–MoveTo Service
because at the momment you are using pyshics that are messing up the movement
if your set on using pyschics though your options are:
–vector force
–allign position
–rocket propulsion (definitely worth looking into)
Hmm can you explain clearly what’re you trying to do. Honestly, I barely understand what’re you saying. Not to be mean but please consider to use Grammarly before posting as it will confuse most of us. I suggest using Magnitude for the “BodyPosition.Position” part where u set the ghost’s distance before trying to such player’s life ← as what I’m understand what are u trying to do, this is my solution.
after the player dies, just set it to destroy the BodyGyro or stop it when it faces the player’s previous CFrame. Using lookVector3 Raycast(Use this before the player dies so that it stores the previous CFrame in order to set it later)
The simplest way by doing it with bodygyro will be using CFrame. Here how it will work.
function GetNear()
local sel
for i,v in pairs(workspace.AttackableNPCS:GetChildren()) do
if (v.PrimaryPart.Position - script.Parent.Position).Magnitude <= 30 then
sel = v.PrimaryPart
break
else
sel = "NONE"
end
end
return sel
end
local Gyro = script.Parent.BodyGyro
local BPos = script.Parent.BodyPosition
BPos = script.Parent.Position
while wait() do
local The_NPC = GetNear()
if The_NPC ~="NONE" then
Gyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(script.Parent.CFrame.p, The_NPC.CFrame.p)
end
end
This will make the ghost look at the character but this is one problem left using bodygyro and changing rotation while the object is anchored will not work. so instead you will add bodyvelcity and set it velocity to 0,0,0 to keep the object at it place and for bodygyro if you want the front to look at object change it MaxTorque to 400000, 400000, 400000.
Note: It will only working with front face and not any other side.
