The problem I’m facing is that when I update the position of pets on the client, everything works correctly. However, when I try to update the position of pets in a regular script through a remote event so that their position is also visible on the server, an error occurs, and the pet positions lag behind a bit. I tried using AlignPosition and AlignOrientation , but I couldn’t find a solution. They only seem to make it worse because when I update the position from the server, the vector force is too strong for very small distances. My goal is very simple but challenging for me to achieve: to make the pet positions look the same on the client and the server so that other players can see the pet positions
Tried solutions:
Using alignOrientation and alignPosition in a regular script.
Using remote events to update pet positions in the regular script.
Updating pet positions in a regular script without using remote events or local scripts (i.e., transferring code from a LocalScript to a Script with necessary modifications).
--Here is the localScript code
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local petPosRemote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemotesEvents"):WaitForChild("PetPositionRemote")
local playerPets = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("PlayerPets")
local circle = math.pi *2
local minimunRadius = 4
local function PositionPets(character, folder)
for i, pet in folder:GetChildren() do
local radius = minimunRadius + #folder:GetChildren()
local angle = i * (circle/ #folder:GetChildren())
local yOffset = pet.YOffset.Value
local x = math.cos(angle) * radius
local z = math.sin(angle) * radius
local walkSineWave = math.max(math.sin((time() + pet.TimeDelay.Value)* 10) / 2,-0.1)
local walkFrontBackCos = math.cos((time()+pet.TimeDelay.Value )* 10)/7
local hoverSineWave = math.sin((time()+ pet.TimeDelay.Value) * 5) / 10
local hoverSineWaveIdle = math.sin((time() + pet.TimeDelay.Value)) / 10
local petCFrame = pet.PrimaryPart.CFrame:Lerp(character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(x, yOffset,z),0.1)
if character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
if pet.Flying == false then
petCFrame *= CFrame.new(0, walkSineWave, 0) * CFrame.Angles(walkFrontBackCos,0,0)
else
petCFrame *= CFrame.new(0,hoverSineWave,0)
end
else
if pet.Flying.Value == true then
petCFrame *= CFrame.new(0,0.2 + hoverSineWaveIdle, 0)
end
end
pet:PivotTo(petCFrame)
end
end
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
for _, petFolder in playerPets:GetChildren() do
local character = Player.Character
repeat wait() until Player.Character
if not character then return end
PositionPets(character, petFolder)
--petPosRemote:FireServer(Player)
end
end)
It’s true, hahaha! I had thought about it yesterday but had forgotten, thank you for reminding me. I’ll try it now, and I’ll let you know if it worked.
ok, now I have this error here, to position the pets I need to have the anchored active, but at the same time, I have to have the anchoring of the primaryPart off to be able to use SetNetworkOwner, how can I do it? I leave the new script that I created .
local petPosRemote = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”):WaitForChild(“RemotesEvents”):WaitForChild(“PetPositionRemote”)
petPosRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, petFolder)
for i, pet in petFolder:GetChildren() do
pet.Pet:SetNetworkOwner(player)
end
end)
u could unanchored pets and use SetNetworkOwner on PrimaryPart, and for them movement use AlignPosition and AlignOrientation(update them in client-side)
Well i made a test with alignposition and alignorientation, (don’t get attention to lags they happens because i doesn’t apply setnetworkowner to them. im really lazy to do it via a remote events and did it through command line) https://youtu.be/aLsYz8WQMRM (i tried uploud to devforum)

Hello again, thank you very much, the truth is that now that I see it, you have helped me a lot. Still, I’m having several problems trying to implement the code you provided into my game so that it looks like yours that you showed in the video:
In a new roblox studio model I created the script that you provided me and simplified it so that it works with the properties that I have in the workspace, the first second everything works fine and the parts follow the position of the player, but after 2 seconds it stops They head towards the spawn, I leave the model for you to see and if you know any solution to correct it, so I can implement it in my game. Thank you very much and greetings, sorry for the inconvenience again Model 102.rbxl (57.8 KB)
as i said before do SetNetworkOwner() on PrimaryPart on every Pet and this problem will disappear
p.s. My question is how are you going to find out later who has these pets and who doesn’t own those pet? Model 102.rbxl (59.1 KB)
Hello again, sorry for the wait hahaha, thank you very much again for your help. I had just solved the problem I had before, anyway, thank you a million because you were right. Regarding your question of how I will know who has and who does not have those pets, I have already solved it in the first model that I published in my post. In which you use httpService:GenerateGuid(false) to create an id in the req and then code check that the req is from the player. I also plan to use PetsFolder:FindFirstChild(player.UserId) instead of PetsFolder:FindFirstChild(player.Name) to make it easier to know which pet each player is. I hope that answered your question, thank you a million, I leave a video with the final result in a different game than the two that I published previously
