This report details two issues encountered while developing a car game within Roblox Studio. These issues significantly hinder the development process and require prompt attention.
Issue 1: Camera Speed Inconsistency
Description:
Adjusting the camera speed through Studio settings produces no observable change. Regardless of the entered value, the camera movement speed remains sluggish in both testing and in-studio modes. This significantly impedes the efficiency of playtesting and iterating on world generation.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Verified functionality on a separate Roblox account, confirming the issue is isolated to the primary development account.
- Performed a complete reinstall of Roblox Studio, with no improvement observed.
Request:
Assistance in identifying the cause of this camera speed inconsistency and potential solutions to restore expected functionality.
Issue 2: Vehicle Freezing at Baseplate Limits
Description:
While testing world generation with a vehicle, a critical issue arises. Upon reaching the periphery of the baseplate, the vehicle abruptly freezes. Camera movement and manipulation of the shift lock remain functional, but the vehicle itself becomes unresponsive.
Further Observations:
- Utilizing the Studio editor tools to reposition the vehicle temporarily alleviates the freeze, but the issue reoccurs upon reaching the baseplate limits again.
- The observed behavior suggests a potential correlation between character proximity and vehicle functionality. As the character approaches the vehicle, it unfreezes and regains functionality.
Possible Cause:
This behavior may be linked to ownership distance limitations, particularly considering the vehicle’s local script-based spawning. Additionally, attempts to manipulate camera behavior through Subject Camera and CFrame updates within the local script might be contributing factors.
Request:
Guidance in diagnosing the root cause of the vehicle freezing issue and exploring potential solutions. This could involve investigating ownership distance limitations or refining the implemented camera control methods.
Conclusion:
The aforementioned issues pose significant challenges to the development process. Prompt attention to resolving these issues is crucial for ensuring efficient development and timely project completion. Any suggestions or insights from the Roblox development community would be greatly appreciated.
