Ive been trying to make a script that orients the lava puddles to make them stick to the terrain but cant quite make it work.
This is what I tried:
smallMagma.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if not hit:FindFirstAncestor("Map") then return end
smallMagma.Anchored = true
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {hit}
local raycast = workspace:Raycast(smallMagma.Position + Vector3.new(0, 40, 0), Vector3.new(0, -100, 0), raycastParams)
local origin
if raycast then
smallMagma.Position = raycast.Position
smallMagma.MagmaLayer.Position = raycast.Position
origin = raycast.Position
else
origin = smallMagma.Position
end
local locked = {}
local function calculate(offset: CFrame, axis: string)
local raycast = workspace:Raycast((smallMagma.CFrame * offset).Position + Vector3.new(0, 40, 0), Vector3.new(0, -100, 0), raycastParams)
if raycast then
local low = Vector3.new(origin.X, raycast.Position.Y, origin.Z)
local hypothenuse = (origin - raycast.Position).Magnitude
local opposite = (origin - low).Magnitude
local angle = math.asin(opposite/hypothenuse)
if angle ~= angle then return end
if table.find(locked, axis) then return end
print(angle)
if axis:lower() == "x" then
smallMagma.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0, 0, angle)
elseif axis:lower() == "y" then
smallMagma.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0, angle, 0)
elseif axis:lower() == "z" then
smallMagma.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(angle, 0, 0)
end
table.insert(locked, axis)
end
end
TweenService:Create(smallMagma, TweenInfo.new(magmaSpeed / 2, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine), {Size = magmaSize * Vector3.new(0.5, 1, 0.5)}):Play()
TweenService:Create(smallMagma.MagmaLayer, TweenInfo.new(magmaSpeed / 2, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine), {Size = magmaSize * Vector3.new(0.5, 1, 0.5) + Vector3.one * 0.2}):Play()
calculate(CFrame.new(1, 0, 0), "x")
calculate(CFrame.new(-1, 0, 0), "x")
calculate(CFrame.new(0, 1, 0), "z")
calculate(CFrame.new(0, -1, 0), "z")
end)
This is what I get:
Ive also tried using cosines but it had the same effect. Also puddles sometimes get rotated by 90 degrees.
Anyone knows how to make it rotate properly?
