For my game, I want there to be an enemy that spins along the floor and bounces of the sides of the walls, sort of like a rogue sawblade.
With the script I made for this, the part is fine for a bit, but then randomly clips through the corners and walls.
It happens almost instantly when cranking the speed up.
Here is the code I have so far.
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local part = script.Parent
local speed = 3
local direction = Vector3.new(1, 0, 1).Unit
local function checkCollision()
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = { part }
local origin = part.Position
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, raycastParams)
if raycastResult then
local normal = raycastResult.Normal
direction = direction - 2 * (direction:Dot(normal)) * normal
end
end
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
task.wait()
part.Position = part.Position + direction * speed
checkCollision()
end)
Is there a better way to handle something like this? Or is slow collision detection inevitable?
The entire game is client sided and single player, by the way. So this is not server lag.
The script uses raycasting detect walls, and bounce off them when it hits one. CanCollide is on, but it wouldn’t matter if it was on or off because it doesn’t use it for collisions.
You could check when the part has collided with a wall. If it is, you could place the part at the player’s humanoidrootpart. I’m gonna go to sleep in a bout a minute so yeah sorry about that.
Looks like your raycast isn’t fast enough to take into account the collisions.
Why are you using task.wait() inside the Heartbeat function? Doesn’t the Heartbeat take care of the crashing/freezing caused by something like a while true do loop without a task.wait() in it?
Accidentally left that it when changing it from a normal loop. Thanks for that. Still, it will clip through sometimes. I think at normal speeds it’s main problem is corners, since that’s all it seems to go through. Is it normal for raycasting to bug out with corners?
if raycastResult then
print(tostring(raycastResult.Instance))
local normal = raycastResult.Normal
direction = direction - 2 * (direction:Dot(normal)) * normal
end
