I’m having a problem. In my game you can ‘clash’ with other players when you hit each others at the same time. However, this can happen:
As you can see that dummy got stuck inside the tree. I’m trying to find a good way to prevent this without stressing the server too much. Is there a way to find the nearest position without parts? I was thinking of using RayCasting, but wouldn’t it need to fire one ray in EVERY direction? A better alternative would be a Region3, however, still I would need to know what’s the nearest position that isn’t “obstructed” by other parts.
(The script just sets the CFrame of the “controller” character to a random direction near him using CFrame.new() and math.random()).
I will also need it for some moves I’m planning to make. Thanks in advance!
I feel like you would have to iterate through every character.
Then check distance and line of sight with .magnitude and Raycast
I’m unsure of what do you mean. You mean that I’d have to get all the map’s parts, and see if they are close to the players?
Every one that is interactable, such as a player or npc.
But I don’t really care about colliding with other players/NPCs. The thing is that if one or both players clash near a part, they can easily get stuck inside of it. Using magnitude would require a lot of work as there are thousands of parts in the map. Maybe a Region3 can do it as it can easily get nearby parts. But as I said I don’t know how to find the nearest position without any parts.
I guess Region3 is your best option then.
Seems like you could use a tweenservice between start and ending position, checking for collisions with the player (with visibility off). save the last position that resulted in no collisions, and turn visibility back on. That’s in theory. I’m not strong enough at coding to know if that would work.
Hmm, I’m not sure why you are saying to use TweenService but you actually gave me an idea. I’ll check with a raycast between the starting and ending points and see if any part is obstructing the way.
Probably use Region3, every part in proximity has collisions turned off. Keep checking if the player is near any of those parts, when they are not; turn collisions back on.
