Safezone script not functioning properly with dash script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey devs,

So I have a safezone script and right now what is happening is my dash function and safezone are clashing, creating a broken safezone.

Basically, everything is fine, until when the dash happens, and then it breaks, thinking that the player left the safezone. The dash function uses ‘LinearVelocity’

Here is my code: (under a part in the workspace)

local Safezone = script.Parent
local processingPlayers = {}

local function isPushedByLinearVelocity(character)
	local rootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if rootPart then
		for _, child in rootPart:GetChildren() do
			if child:IsA("LinearVelocity") and child.Enabled then
				return true
			end
		end
	end
	return false
end

Safezone.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character and character:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace) and character.Parent == game.Workspace then
		if not processingPlayers[character] then
			processingPlayers[character] = true

			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				humanoid.MaxHealth = math.huge
				humanoid.Health = math.huge
			end

			wait(0.1)
			processingPlayers[character] = false
		end
	end
end)

Safezone.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character and character:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace) and character.Parent == game.Workspace then
		if not processingPlayers[character] and not isPushedByLinearVelocity(character) then
			processingPlayers[character] = true

			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
			if player then
				local statsFolder = player:FindFirstChild("Stats")
				if statsFolder then
					local defensePoints = statsFolder:FindFirstChild("DefensePoints")
					if defensePoints then
						local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
						if humanoid then
							humanoid.MaxHealth = 100 + defensePoints.Value
							humanoid.Health = 100 + defensePoints.Value
						end
					end
				end
			end

			wait(0.1)
			processingPlayers[character] = false
		end
	end
end)

And yes, it does function properly, even with that function.

Thanks for your help! :heart:

Still needing assistance with this script. If you need, I can provide the dash script.

Well from what I can see, you ignore the player if they are dashing when they leave. (As far as I can tell.)

Yes, but what is happening is that it is thinking they left but they didn’t.

Can you fix it with a script?

Wait this might not even have to do with the dash, since I see the processingPlayers[character] = false, unless this is needed for something. Although I’d recommend using task.wait, since it doesn’t throttle.

So, what should I do? I’m confused on what you are trying to tell me.

Well I’m wondering if it’s a debounce issue to do with setting the character being processed true/false, or just Roblox being wonky with touch events. If it’s the second case I would use something like ZoneService.

Okay, can you give me an example script of what I could fix?

Don’t want to have to migrate my scripts over.

#9

Well if it’s the first case, then I’d probably just remove the processing false line from the first function, and then in the touched ends function change it to check if the character value is true (and subsequently just set the character value in the table to false).

The caveat though is that touch ended has always been wonky

#10

Again, can I have an example script? It’s hard to understand what you mean with just text. Supply a script, even a little chunk of code before replying again.

#11

something like this? no guarantee it’d work unfortunately

local Safezone = script.Parent
local safePlayers = {}

local function isPushedByLinearVelocity(character)
	--not gonna touch this since idk how the dash works
end

Safezone.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character and character:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace) and character.Parent == game.Workspace then
		if not safePlayers[character] then
			safePlayers[character] = true

			--rest goes here
		end
	end
end)

Safezone.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character and character:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace) and character.Parent == game.Workspace then
		if safePlayers[character] and not isPushedByLinearVelocity(character) then
			safePlayers[character] = false

			--rest of the function	
		end
	end
end)

Thank you! It worked.

Sorry for being so rude, I think I was getting a bit impatient.

fair enough lol, sometimes I’m not entirely clear about stuff and don’t know until someone points it out
