Hello everyone! I am currently making a traditional 2.5D Fighting Game and is struggling with some issues, the one I am writing about however is the most dominant one.
Context:
So, like in any fighting game I have the player’s constantly looking at each other, no matter what side of the arena they are in.
Source Code:
-- Constant Variables
local Player: Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character: Model = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid: Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
local HumanoidRootPart: Part = Character:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart')
-- Requires
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
-- Prerequisites
Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Climbing, false)
repeat wait() until #PlayerService:GetPlayers() >= 2
-- Runtime Variables
local ePlayer: Player
for _, players in pairs(PlayerService:GetPlayers()) do
if players.Name ~= Player.Name then
ePlayer = players
end
end
local eCharacter: Model = ePlayer.Character or ePlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local eHumanoidRootPart: Part = eCharacter:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart')
-- Main Code Execution
local function LookAtOppositePlayer()
local TargetPos = eHumanoidRootPart.Position
local Direction = (TargetPos - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit
local Angle = math.atan2(Direction.X, Direction.Z)
Angle += math.pi
HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, Angle, 0)
end
RunService:BindToRenderStep("LookAtOppositePlayer", 1, LookAtOppositePlayer)
Issue:
The Issue is that when jumping above a player’s head, the other player can run through the empty space made by the jump
(Continuation of sentence before Context Image): When a player does run through that empty space, both players are locked in a feedback loop of always going backwards as shown in this demonstration:
Other Information:
You can get out of this by pressing jump, but I’d rather avoid this problem entirely.
Conclusion:
If anyone can help with this issue that’ll be amazing! Any help is appreciated!
Just off the top of my head, could try using CFrame.lookAt(playerPosition, enemyPosition)
You’ll have to make the Y value of the enemyPosition’s Vector3 equal to the playerPosition’s Y value, or else you’ll have them floating and rotating to look up in the air and all that, lol
The Vector3 is the enemy’s X and Z values. If you have the player look at the Y value too, they’ll turn sideways to look up and down instead of just forward toward the enemy lol
Try defining the HumanoidRootParts inside the function, them being outside of it could register as them being at (0,0,0), which is where all players spawn without a spawn point.
