Download the TuxPhysicsTails Loader

Get started by downloading the loader script:
TuxPhysicsTailsLoader (Version 2) — @R3dTuxedo.rbxm (2.5 KB)

Recommended Placement:
Place the script in ServerScriptService for better organization.

How It Works

  • Automatic Updates:
    The script ensures the latest version is loaded when the server starts.

  • Custom Tail Accessories:
    Developers can add unrecognized tail accessories manually.
    Don’t forget to inform me so I can update it for others too!

  • Custom Behavior Properties:
    A configuration table is provided in the loader script so developers can control the elasticity, and the tail wag.

Acknowledgment

If you use this script, please credit @R3dTuxedo prominently in one of the following ways:

  • Include a mention in your game description, or
  • Add credits clearly within your game (e.g., a UI element or sign at spawn).

I’d love to see your creations! Let me know if your game uses Tux Physics Tails, and I’ll check it out!

You can see here I put 100 characters in and it works fine. It’s not going to cost much because it’s not a lot of expensive math eg. collisions.

I mean, its cool, I guess?

Notices

  • [ HELP :smiley: ] : Requiring asset can sometimes unfortunately fail as it better to just make your Asset a Package and turn on Automatic Updates in the Package Link Instance.
  • The specific use of the module is kind of obsolete (No Offense!) the fact that it only simulates tails is quite limited maybe its your wording, e.g. “It can also be used to do …”?

Good to know, Though is there a way we could set up our own tail accessories to support this?

That is a great idea and I will look into that.

The point of it is to simulate physics for tail accessories as described in the title and explanation. What exactly did you mean?

Yes.

You can add tail accessories to the loader.

Will you be implementing a way to turn down the springyness of the tail movement?

Yes, I can do that. I’ll add more configurations soon.

It looks cool, but it is an unnecessary use of server resources. You could at least do it on the client side, as it serves only a visual aesthetic purpose.

It is done on the client. The loader is a server script so it can load the latest version of the client script.

Alright! My bad then. I thought it was done on the server.

If I remember correctly it was a couple days. Originally it was a little extra feature in a game I made but a friend asked if they could use it too so I made it public!

is there anything else this can be used for?

because i dont really see too much of an implementation other than games with a predominant community that would use this

Not really, this only effects people with tails. It is fun for those people. You could however tamper with the code to work with other parts on a custom character.

Packages are not yet available for public distribution. I am not sure why you suggested this.

Hmm, Strange? I frequently use the Top-bar Module and it wasn’t published by Roblox but it had a package link.

Are you sure? and have you read Roblox’s Documentation?, It seems you didn’t click any of the links I’ve provided. The process is quite hefty but worth it in the end.

Creating a package is not hard. Either the package you’re using is by a user verified to make public packages, or you’ve joined a group.

Here you can see I am not able to publicly distribute packages:
