Projectile Spazing in the air

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I have a slime and it shoots projectiles so after a couple of shots the slimeballs it shoots start to glitch up and down pretty fast and I have no idea why

sry the code it moved to the right a little

																local Hum = Spider.Zombie
																local RootPart = Spider.HumanoidRootPart
																
																local RunS = game:GetService('RunService')
																local RenderStepped = RunS.RenderStepped
																local Heartbeat = RunS.Heartbeat

																local Handle = game.ReplicatedStorage.Clones.SlimeBall
																
																local CFrame_New = CFrame.new
																local Vector3_New = Vector3.new
																local T = 1;
																local Gravity = Vector3_New(0, -workspace.Gravity, 0)
																local Attach0 = Instance.new("Attachment", workspace.Terrain)
																local Attach1 = Instance.new("Attachment", workspace.Terrain)
																
																
																local function Velocity_Func()
																	local X0 = RootPart.CFrame * Vector3_New(0, 2, -2)
																	
																	-- calculate the v0 needed to reach mouse.Hit.p
																	local V0 = (ClosestTarget.HumanoidRootPart.Position - X0 - 0.5*Gravity*T*T)/T;
																	
																	-- have the ball travel that path
																	local Handle_Clone = Tool:Clone()
																	Handle_Clone.Velocity = V0;
																	Handle_Clone.CFrame = CFrame_New(X0)
																	
																	Handle_Clone.Parent = workspace
																end
																
																
																	
																
																
																local function BeamProjectile_Func(V0, X0, T1)
																	
																	-- calculate the bezier points
																	local C = 0.5*0.5*0.5;

																	-- the curve sizes

																	local Curve1 = (P2 - P3).magnitude;
																	
																	-- build the world CFrames for the attachments

																	-- convert world space CFrames to be relative to the attachment parent

																		NT = NT + Heartbeat:Wait();
																	end
																	end))

I think it’s because you are moving the projectile server-sided, resulting into this problem.
The gravity is pushing the projectile down (on client side). I think this could be solved by anchoring the projectile, but I could be also completly wrong. Try it out if it isn’t anchored yet.

#3

you see I cant anchor my projectile due to it needing to move through the air

#4

You can anchor it if you aren’t using things like BodyVelocity or Velocity. From your code I think you are changing it’s CFrame.

#5

I am currently using velocity to get the lobbing effect

#6

I’m not sure if this could help, but try to do:

projectile:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

This will set Network owner to server, because if you didn’t do that, the Network owner is a player. But I can be wrong once again.

#7

I tried this and same thing occurs

Handle_Clone:SetNetworkOwner(game.Players:WaitForChild(ClosestTarget.Name))
#8

You have to set it to nil, as I said :slight_smile:

#9

Thanks, man I didn’t know you could set it nil :smile:
It ended up working

Handle_Clone:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

Also, just a question does :SetNetworkOwner(nil) make the server have full control over the projectile

#11

Yes, I think it does. You can read this article about :SetNetworkOwner()
