I’m making a game where you can turn into different types of matter.
I’ve been trying to make it so you can turn into a gas.
The gas matter can go through parts that are named “GasPart”.
This system isn’t working well though.
Can somebody give me a better solution?
local UserInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(button)
if button.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Gas.Value == false then
local gas = Instance.new("Smoke")
gas.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart
for i,v in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Transparency = 1
if v.Name == "Head" then
v:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Decal").Transparency = 1
end
end
if v:IsA("Accessory") then
v.Handle.Transparency = 1
end
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Touched:Connect(function(brick)
local ray = Ray.new(brick.Position, Vector3.new(0,0,1111111111111150))
local hit, position = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, {v})
if hit.Name == "GasPart" then
print("this jumble of a code actually works, congrats")
v.CanCollide = false
else
v.CanCollide = true
end
end)
end
end
end
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Gas.Value == true then
for i,v in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Transparency = 0
if v.Name == "Head" then
v:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Decal").Transparency = 0
end
if v.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then
v:FindFirstChild("Smoke"):Destroy()
v.Transparency = 1
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Gas.Value = false
end
end
if v:IsA("Accessory") then
v.Handle.Transparency = 0
end
end
end
end
end)
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"):FindFirstChild("Smoke") then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Gas.Value = true
end
end)
Main code you should probably focus on:
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Touched:Connect(function(brick)
local ray = Ray.new(brick.Position, Vector3.new(0,0,1111111111111150))
local hit, position = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, {v})
if hit.Name == "GasPart" then
print("this jumble of a code actually works, congrats")
v.CanCollide = false
else
v.CanCollide = true
end
end)
And I’m referring to the Ray.new(Origin, Direction) calls.
Neither are you doing your Origin right if I recall correctly.
You need to use the Player’s Character’s LookVector (where they’re facing)
And their Character’s Position for Origin.
Example:
local Player = ...
local Character = Player.Character
local HRTP = Character.HumanoidRootPart
-- This would be in your touched connection, or something.. I'm somewhat confused by your code honestly.
local HR_CF = HRTP.CFrame
local Direction = HR_CF.LookVector
local Distance = 20 -- This is how far ahead we should be casting.
Direction *= Distance
local OurRay = Ray.new(HR_CF.Position, Direction)
local Hit, HitPos = ... -- you get the idea.
Can somebody tell me why the collision group isn’t working?
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local HRTP = Character.HumanoidRootPart
-- This would be in your touched connection, or something.. I'm somewhat confused by your code honestly.
local HR_CF = HRTP.CFrame
local Direction = HR_CF.LookVector
local Distance = 20 -- This is how far ahead we should be casting.
Direction *= Distance
local OurRay = Ray.new(HR_CF.Position, Direction)
local Hit, HitPos = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(OurRay, {v}) -- you get the idea.
if game.ReplicatedStorage.Collision.Value == false then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Collision.Value = true
for i, thing in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
if thing:IsA("BasePart") then
game.ReplicatedStorage.CollisionGroup:FireServer(thing, Hit)
end
end
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.Collision.Value = true
if Hit == nil then
else
if Hit.Name == "GasPart" then
print("ello")
game.ReplicatedStorage.CollisionFilter:FireServer(false)
else
game.ReplicatedStorage.CollisionFilter:FireServer(true)
end
end
end
end)
I’d set all the gas parts to their own gas collision group in studio, then just switch the parts of the character to the gas collision group when they turn into a gas. Changing the collision group of the parts of the character can be done on the client (since the client has network ownership of the character), so that makes it a bit easier.
The reason the code above probably doesn’t work is because it is still getting parts on the ray then sending a true false value to the server, not the part too. It depends on how the server script handles that though.
(the number is the number on the list, Default is zero and the next is one)
Then once you do that, you can change all the parts in the character to the GasParts collision group when they turn into gas. (This means those parts can’t collide with other gas parts.)
