I’m trying to make an ability that allows players to grow large then shrink back to their normal size. I’m a fan of smooth effects so I’m using TweenService to accomplish this using R15’s BodyDepthScale, BodyHeightScale, etc. However, for some reason, while the tween is playing, the CFrame of the player that’s growing is no longer replicated to other clients even though the server sees correct outcome. What’s going on here?
This snippet of code is run on the server when the player activates the ability
--the player's original zoom distance
local oZoom = data.oZoom
--checks if player is already a giant
local giantInfo = RDS:GetState(sPlayer.Name, "Giganto")
local dur = varTable.growTime
local scale = varTable.scale
--the scale NumberValues
local depth = sHum.BodyDepthScale
local height = sHum.BodyHeightScale
local width = sHum.BodyWidthScale
local head = sHum.HeadScale
--if the player is already a giant...
if giantInfo then
--original depth, height, etc
local oDepth = giantInfo.oDepth
local oHeight = giantInfo.oHeight
local oWidth = giantInfo.oWidth
local oHead = giantInfo.oHead
--tween goals
local dGoal = {Value = oDepth, Time = dur, Style = "Cubic"}
local hGoal = {Value = oHeight, Time = dur, Style = "Cubic"}
local wGoal = {Value = oWidth, Time = dur, Style = "Cubic"}
local headGoal = {Value = oHead, Time = dur, Style = "Cubic"}
--takes away their "giant" state
RDS:SetState(sPlayer.Name, "Giganto", nil)
--use TweenService to change the values back to normal
Util:TweenParse(depth, dGoal)
Util:TweenParse(height, hGoal)
Util:TweenParse(width, wGoal)
Util:TweenParse(head, headGoal)
else -- if the player is not a giant...
--save the original values
local stateInfo = {oDepth = depth.Value, oHeight = height.Value, oWidth = width.Value, oHead = head.Value, oZoom = oZoom}
--tween goal
local goal = {Value = "*"..scale, Time = dur, Style = "Cubic"}
--sets them to be a giant
RDS:SetState(sPlayer.Name, "Giganto", stateInfo)
--tween service to increase the scale values
Util:TweenParse(depth, goal)
Util:TweenParse(height, goal)
Util:TweenParse(width, goal)
Util:TweenParse(head, goal)
end
As I said in the above post, using TweenService “the normal way” still exhibits the same problem. I would like to be able to solve this without restricting the player’s movement, so I don’t want to anchor them
After looking at the clip some more, I noticed that scaling would replicate, but movement would not. After scaling is complete, movement is then replicated. Conclusion: you are overloading replication.
Try doing scaling from server side to see what happens.
Doing from the client does fix the effect for the clients but it breaks it for the server while the tween is playing. Due to the way hitboxes and antiexploit work in my game, this is undesirable.
Use remotes to have it replicate to all clients, while still handling it on the client.
Keep in mind tweening is causing the issue. Jumping to a value for the scale will not cause problems.
