Shrinking the player slowly instead of instantly doing so

WooleyWool · June 2, 2020, 2:32am

Hi, whenever a player touches a block, they shrink. How do I dlowly shrink the player instead of an instant one? Here is my working code:

local Touch
local RoundModule = require(script.RoundModule)
Touch = script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if (Player)  then
		local NPS = Player:FindFirstChild("NormalPlayerSize")
		local P = Player:FindFirstChild("Piggy")
		if (NPS) and (not P) then
			local Humanoid = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if Humanoid then
				local HD = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
				HD.HeadScale = HD.HeadScale * .4
				HD.DepthScale = HD.DepthScale * .4
				HD.WidthScale = HD.WidthScale * .4
				HD.HeightScale = HD.HeightScale * .4
				Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HD)
			end	
			NPS:Destroy()
			RoundModule.InsertTag(Player, "SmallPlayer")
		end
	end

end)

You should use a for i = loop. Seeing as how the player’s size is reduced by .4, you should use for i = 1,4 and HD.HeadScale = HD.HeadScale * i/10. Put all 4 scale lines of code into a for loop all using the same formula. If you multiply the second number of the for i = loop (e.x. i = 1,8/1,16), and you multiply the 10 by the same multiple (e.x. i/20 or i/40), it would give a smoother effect. Remember to use a wait()

Can you provide an example? 30

Alright, I whipped one up but the .4 at the beginning is underlined, how would i fix this?

for i, .4, .1 do
					local HD = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
					HD.HeadScale = HD.HeadScale * i
					HD.DepthScale = HD.DepthScale * i
					HD.WidthScale = HD.WidthScale * i
					HD.HeightScale = HD.HeightScale * i
					Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HD)
				end

You could try using TweenService for that.

Here’s the current script, the player shrunk too small. Would you know how to fix this?

local Touch
local RoundModule = require(script.RoundModule)
Touch = script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if (Player)  then
		local NPS = Player:FindFirstChild("NormalPlayerSize")
		local P = Player:FindFirstChild("Piggy")
		if (NPS) and (not P) then
			local Humanoid = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if Humanoid then
				for i = 1, 4, 1 do
					local HD = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
					HD.HeadScale = HD.HeadScale * i/10
					HD.DepthScale = HD.DepthScale * i/10
					HD.WidthScale = HD.WidthScale * i/10
					HD.HeightScale = HD.HeightScale * i/10
					Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HD)
					wait(.2)
				end

			end	
			NPS:Destroy()
			RoundModule.InsertTag(Player, "SmallPlayer")
		end
	end

end)

It’s because you’re using the current Scales when you multiply.

Save a variable referencing the old values.

local HeadScale = HD.HeadScale
local DepthScale = HD.DepthScale
local WidthScale = HD.WidthScale
local HeightScale = HD.HeightScale

for i = 1, 4 do
    local HD = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()

    HD.HeadScale = HeadScale * i / 10
    HD.DepthScale = DepthScale * i / 10
    HD.WidthScale = WidthScale * i / 10
    HD.HeightScale = HeightScale * i / 10

    Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HD)
    wait(.2)
end

Same result occured. This is weird

Fusionet · June 2, 2020, 3:44am

I haven’t looked at your script much but there are some values inside the humanoid (i think) where you can change the height, width, etc. scale. You can use TweenService to shrink them smoothly

mandude325 · June 2, 2020, 4:22am

Here, try this:

local Touch
local RoundModule = require(script.RoundModule)
Touch = script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if (Player)  then
		local NPS = Player:FindFirstChild("NormalPlayerSize")
		local P = Player:FindFirstChild("Piggy")
		if (NPS) and (not P) then
			local Humanoid = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if Humanoid then
				local HD = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
				for i = 1, 4 do
                   HD.HeadScale = HD.HeadScale * i/10
				   HD.DepthScale = HD.DepthScale * i/10
				   HD.WidthScale = HD.WidthScale * i/10
				   HD.HeightScale = HD.HeightScale * i/10
                end
				Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HD)
			end	
			NPS:Destroy()
			RoundModule.InsertTag(Player, "SmallPlayer")
		end
	end

end)

That makes the player too tiny.

LukaDev_0 · June 3, 2020, 5:31pm

TweenService can do this. Tween the Height Width and Depth values using TweenService

WooleyWool · June 3, 2020, 5:33pm

How would I do this with my current script?

LukaDev_0 · June 3, 2020, 5:34pm

When the player shrinks. Use TweenService for Tweening the Shrink. Use TweenService:Create() instead of Directly setting it

mandude325 · June 3, 2020, 10:30pm

add a wait(0.2) after all 4 of the HD scales and before the end of the for l. Also try expertimenting with the numbers for different results.

WooleyWool · June 6, 2020, 7:45pm

Still did not work. I changed the values too.

WooleyWool · June 6, 2020, 8:18pm

Here is the script with the TweenService. I keep on receiving an error starting at HeadScale1:

local Touch
local RoundModule = require(script.RoundModule)

			--	HD.HeightScale = HD.HeightScale * .4
			end	
			NPS:Destroy()
			RoundModule.InsertTag(Player, "SmallPlayer")
		end
	end

end)

The error i receive is that it can’t cast it onto the object.

WooleyWool · June 6, 2020, 9:10pm

Does it have to do with the first and last parameter of the Tween:Create function?
