Tower Defense X Range Mechanic

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I’m trying to make the Tower Defense X range mechanic (the circle changing if there are obstacles)

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I have no idea how to achieve my goal.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have tried looking on the devForum and even using Ai.

-- Script for visualizing tower range (e.g., inside a Script in the Tower model)

rangePart.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, range * 2, range * 2)
rangePart.Anchored = true
rangePart.CanCollide = false
rangePart.Transparency = 0.5
rangePart.Parent = tower
rangePart.CFrame = tower.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), 0, 0)

    return (enemy.Position - tower.Position).Magnitude <= range
end

    if tick() - lastAttackTime >= attackCooldown then
        lastAttackTime = tick()
