Random Spawning Enemies

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

I need a bit of help. I’m making a open world type of game that needs enemies in it. But because its infinite generation and there’s a max render I need a way of spawning Parts for a starter around the player.

I could not find any tutorials on this so i have came to the dev forum for help.

Thanks Have a good one.

To get a new NPC spawn position close to the player I would suggest using the player Position and then adding a Vector3 with some randoms in it, so:

local radius = 20    -- Change this value to how far you want max spawn pos to be
local NPCspawnPos = aCharacter.PrimaryPart.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-radius , radius ), 3, math.random(-radius , radius )
-- The "3" is the helight NPC will spawn at, so around Hip Height

Check if you have anything like this:

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso

Torso is outdated, it’s now HumanoidRootPart,
Change it to:

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart

Wrote a quick script for you.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
         local Enemy = ReplicatedStorage.Enemy:Clone()
         Enemy.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position +     Vector3.new(math.random(-20,20),3,math.random(-20,20))
         Enemy.Parent = workspace
    end)
end)
