So, i’m re-making an old game that i made a while ago. I’m trying to make the player not be able to collide with the bot, which works, but not as expected. I’m making there be multiple maps, so the maps are stored in rep storage. If the map is in rep storage the collision script wont work, even if I make a script changing the parent to workspace. But if the robot/map is parented to the workspace(without a script) it works. If someone can please explain this to me then i’ll greatly appreciate it. here’s my script, it’s a server script.
if script.Parent.Parent.Parent == game.Workspace then
local PS = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
local npc = script.Parent
PS:CreateCollisionGroup("PlayersGroup")
PS:CreateCollisionGroup("NpcsGroup")
for _,v in pairs(npc:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Part") or v:IsA("MeshPart") then
PS:SetPartCollisionGroup(v,"NpcsGroup")
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
wait()
for _,v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Part") or v:IsA("MeshPart") then
PS:SetPartCollisionGroup(v,"PlayersGroup")
end
end
end)
end)
PS:CollisionGroupSetCollidable("PlayersGroup", "NpcsGroup", false)
end
According to the wiki, your solution should work. Since it’s not, maybe try doing this:
Scripts have a property called Disable. Set it to true.
When you script moves the map over to workspace, have it find all Script's inside of the map and set Disabled to false.
Honestly, what you are doing isn’t the best option. I would instead have a separate script that will always create and update the CollisionGroup of players. Also, once you move a map, you would call a function that will set those parts to the NpcsGroup
Yeah, you will have to go with the more proper solution.
For example, Script 1:
local PS = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
PS:CreateCollisionGroup("PlayersGroup")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
wait()
for _,v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Part") or v:IsA("MeshPart") then
PS:SetPartCollisionGroup(v,"PlayersGroup")
end
end
end)
end)
Same script with your map changer:
// maybe code above...
local PS = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
PS:CreateCollisionGroup("NpcsGroup")
function updateNpcsCollisionGroup()
for _,v in pairs(npc:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Part") or v:IsA("MeshPart") then
PS:SetPartCollisionGroup(v,"NpcsGroup")
end
end
if PS:CollisionGroupsAreCollidable("PlayersGroup", "NpcsGroup") then
PS:CollisionGroupSetCollidable("PlayersGroup", "NpcsGroup", false)
end
end
// maybe code below...
// on map change...
updateNpcsCollisionGroup()
Didn’t work :(, i think the reason why it isn’t working is because it adds the player to the group when a player is added, so maybe we should try and make the player be added to the player group without the function.
