I’m making a tycoon game and have a ore spawner which is meant to move on a conveyor belt which uses velocity to move parts.
The only problem with it is that, the parts only move on the server but they don’t move for the client.
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TycoonFolder = script.Parent.Parent
local Ores = ReplicatedStorage.Ores
local Droppers = TycoonFolder.Droppers
local SPAWN_TIME = 1
local IronOre = Ores["Iron Ore"]
local function spawnOre(Dropper: Model, Ore: string)
for _, part in pairs(Dropper:GetChildren()) do
if part.Name == "Output" then
local Spawner: BasePart = part:FindFirstChild("Spawner")
if Spawner then
if Ore == "Iron" then
local ClonedIron = IronOre:Clone()
ClonedIron.Parent = workspace
ClonedIron.Anchored = false
ClonedIron:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
ClonedIron.Position = (Spawner.Position - Vector3.new(0, 0.6, 0))
print(ClonedIron:GetNetworkOwner())
print(ClonedIron.Anchored)
end
end
end
end
end
task.spawn(function()
while true do
task.wait(1)
for _, dropper in pairs(Droppers:GetChildren()) do
if dropper:IsA("Model") then
spawnOre(dropper, "Iron")
print("added")
end
end
end
end)
This is not something that’s so critical that you’d need the server to be in control. An exploiter moving these parts around could either get the parts to their destination faster, or do the opposite of that.
The former shouldn’t be a concern - they might get their points quicker, but this doesn’t affect the drop rate (assuming you weren’t planning on scripting it in that way).
The latter may be a concern, if they keep so many parts in workspace as to cause lag, and you can prevent this using Debris, to remove the items after a certain amount of time you approximate as good. Now, messing with the parts can only cause them to not get their points because the parts didn’t reach their destination.
So yeah, I’d say give network ownership to the “owner” of those droppers, and do either Debris:AddItem(Part, x) or task.delay(x, Part.Destroy, Part), “x” being the amount of time in seconds.
This didn’t work and it made the blocks stay in one place.
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TycoonFolder = script.Parent.Parent
local Ores = ReplicatedStorage.Ores
local Droppers = TycoonFolder.Droppers
local SPAWN_TIME = 1
local IronOre = Ores["Iron Ore"]
local function spawnOre(Dropper: Model, Ore: string)
for _, part in pairs(Dropper:GetChildren()) do
if part.Name == "Output" then
local Spawner: BasePart = part:FindFirstChild("Spawner")
if Spawner then
if Ore == "Iron" then
local ClonedIron = IronOre:Clone()
ClonedIron.Parent = workspace
ClonedIron.Size = Vector3.one
ClonedIron.Anchored = false
ClonedIron:SetNetworkOwner(game.Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Values.Owner.Value))
ClonedIron.Position = (Spawner.Position - Vector3.new(0, 0.6, 0))
print(ClonedIron:GetNetworkOwner())
print(ClonedIron.Anchored)
task.delay(5, ClonedIron.Destroy, ClonedIron)
end
end
end
end
end
task.spawn(function()
while true do
task.wait(3)
for _, dropper in pairs(Droppers:GetChildren()) do
if dropper:IsA("Model") then
spawnOre(dropper, "Iron")
print("added")
end
end
end
end)
