Scripting help with my taser tool (Mouse.Target)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, I’m currently working on a taser tool and I want to use the Mouse.Target statement to allow the person to click on the player from a distance.

But I also want it to attach ‘prongs’ to a player. I want them to be connected from the taser and the person but I want it to move with them (so it’s not rigid) but I’m not sure how.

You can use a weld to attach the prongs to the player model, and then use a ropeconstraint for the wires.

#3

Do you want the connection wire to appear to all players all only to client (you) ?

#4

I want it to not be able to drag the player

#5

I’d like it to be all players if possible (and I’d like it so that the player can’t be dragged and it sort of gets longer as you walk away

#6

You can increase the length of the ropeconstraint as the player gets farther away.

Then it gets a bit more complex,
You need to know how to use client-server model for this
Basically you will make 2 scripts that one of them handles the mouse target and the other to make the connection

#8

How would I get it to do that? Also is there a way to keep the rope from going underground?

#9

Here’s a simple script to do those things, assuming you already have a ropeconstraint setup…

local DISTANCE_OFFSET = 0.5
local TargetPart, Player
while wait() do
    RopeConstraint.Length = (TargetPart.Position-Player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position).Magnitude + DISTANCE_OFFSET
end
#10

It lags out when I attach the constraint to a player from my tool

#11

Is this exactly what you try to succeed?

If so here is the place that has the tool
Taser Tool.rbxl (20.3 KB)

Unfortunately i am using “Beam” Instance in my case so there is no way to prevent the “wires” to go underground UNLESS you set the offset to < 1.2 (Currently it is 1.5 or something)
