Holy crap man, that is so cool. Kind of reminds me of Assassins Creed. (But yours is cooler

If you know from 2022 topic, I am making a phone. Added calculator to it:
I made the calculator, just to take this photo.

Very early preview but thought Iâd share it here.

Also, forgot to mention, it has bugs.
1. If you started playing and started using the calculator for first time, it just doesnât start for example 1, it starts with 11.
2. Instead of NumValue it uses IntValue. It doesnât show decimal numbers.
2.1. The decimal button doesnât work.
When Iâll return from vacation, Iâll post a footage, because when I made it, I forgot to record it.
Personally, the old UI looked a lot cooler, but it looks really clean, nice job.
some breakcore.!!

Interior Mapping: Fake 3d Interiors with a Flat Image (Devlog P2)
You can view the full topic here: Interior Mapping: Fake 3d Interiors with a Flat Image
I did a couple updates to my interior mapping system: itâs now more accurate, runs faster, and is easier to use.
I suggest checking out the topic above.

In a recent visit to my experience in VR, I found that I moved so slowly that I got stuck under the counter door in my still-incomplete restaurant. Itâs nice that I donât get nausea easily while Iâm in VR (unless I drive a vehicle around for some reason), but some other people arenât as lucky as I am in this regard.
I knew I needed to fix this somehow. As of today, I might haveš done it, with a new function in âCharacterFunctionsâ, IsCharacterNear(). This function iterates through every player on the server, tries to find their character a couple times (not using :Wait() to avoid yielding the calling script), then checks if theyâre near specific coordinates using a magnitude comparison.
Until this function returns false, the flap wonât lower back into its usual position. Check out this video to see how it looks! (Please ignore how the restaurant hasnât changed one bit in possibly a year at this point.)
Also, yes, since my experience tries to treat NPCs and players equally, the door wonât close if a tracked NPC is standing near it.
I know some of you might be thinking of the meme, so yes⌠That woman is just standing thereâŚMENANCINGLY!
Source code
Just because I think it could be useful to other developers, hereâs the function, copied from my ModuleScript directly. Youâll have to remove the âCharacterStorage:â prefix on the functionâs name, or change it to whatever your ModuleScript identifies itself as in itself:
-- CharacterFunctions:IsCharacterNear(takes Vector3 and number, returns boolean)
-- Compares all players (and NPC characters that have opted in)'s positions to
-- the provided reference coordinates, and returns TRUE if any of them are within
-- a specific number of studs to it. This function assumes that a player isn't
-- near the point of interest if it can't get their character reference within
-- a specific number of attempts, so this may fail and cause VR players to get
-- stuck, which could lead to nausea.
-- This function is meant to run on the server, but can run on the client. As
-- NPCs are planned to be handled by the server, any client-side scripts will
-- need to be aware of any NPCs that need to be checked for, so doors can't
-- close near them and other examples. For that, a RemoteEvent might be needed
-- so clients know when to add an NPC to their local list, which isn't synced.
local NPCScanList = {}
-- TODO: Consider changing this function to use CharacterStorage entries; All NPCs and players must generate them after spawning, and they contain
-- references to things like their HumanoidRootPart and Character, which would remove the need for the pcall.
function CharacterFunctions:IsCharacterNear(_reference : Vector3, _radius : number)
-- Longer-term variables
local IsClose = false -- This will be set to TRUE if any character is too close to this door.
-- Temporary variables
local char : Model = nil -- Temporary variable for each Player's character, nil'd between each iteration.
local HRP : BasePart = nil -- The iterated player's HumanoidRootPart, used for a distance check.
local RemainingTries = 0
local success = false -- This is set to true if a Player's character is found inside of the pcall.
-- First scan for any nearby players.
for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
RemainingTries = 5
while RemainingTries > 0 do
success = pcall (function()
char = player.Character
HRP = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
end)
-- Break the loop early if the player's character is found without errors.
if success and char then
RemainingTries = 0
break
end
task.wait(0.075)
end
-- Is this Player within the requested number of studs of the door? They're in the way if that's the case! Break the loop here.
if char and HRP and (HRP.Position-_reference).Magnitude <= _radius then
IsClose = true
break
end
-- Reset the temporariy variables, so each character is checked, with no way to "sneak past" the scan.
char = nil
HRP = nil
success = false
end
-- No players were near the location? If there are any NPCs on the list, see if any of them are close to it.
-- TODO: This part of the function is basically copy-pasted from the player iteration above. Perhaps both could be merged into a single list,
-- then handled based on their type? (Model = NPC, Player = player, get their character)
if not IsClose and #NPCScanList > 0 then
for _, npc : Model in NPCScanList do
RemainingTries = 5
while RemainingTries > 0 do
success = pcall (function()
HRP = npc:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
end)
-- Break the loop early if their HumanoidRootPart is found without errors.
if success and HRP then
RemainingTries = 0
break
end
task.wait(0.075)
end
-- Is this NPC within the requested number of studs of the door? They're in the way if that's the case! Break the loop here.
if HRP and (HRP.Position-_reference).Magnitude <= _radius then
IsClose = true
break
end
-- Reset the temporariy variables, so each character is checked, with no way to "sneak past" the scan.
char = nil
HRP = nil
success = false
end
end
return IsClose
end
As a bonus, you can also see my âTODOâ comments, which reference an idea (NPC characters) and CharacterStorage, a system that unifies references to players and NPCs by creating data structures for both that give references to their character models and the like. Since itâs specific to my experience, Iâm keeping that privateâŚfor now.
Actually, Iâve already updated this to use CharacterStorage, and itâs probably more âperformantâ now as a result. The older code version here will work in other experiences, though.
šThis function wonât always prevent players from getting stuck beneath the door. If it canât get a reference to their character model in time, itâll act as if they arenât near it!

Still working on learning more about scripting and how I can improve and be a better developer!
Cool! By the way, you donât have to use pcalls for checking for potentially nil parts:
pcall fixes
RemainingTries = 5
while RemainingTries > 0 do
success = pcall (function()
char = player.Character
HRP = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
end)
-- Break the loop early if the player's character is found without errors.
if success and char then
RemainingTries = 0
break
end
task.wait(0.075)
end
^^ this can be shortened to vv
while RemainingTries > 0 do
HRP = player and player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") -- This pretty much means if player, and if player.Character, then if player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then return it
-- Break the loop early if the player's character is found without errors.
if HRP then
RemainingTries = 0
break
end
task.wait(0.075)
end
Same thing with this:
success = pcall (function()
HRP = npc:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
end)
can be shortened to:
HRP = npc and npc:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

Thatâs a good tip! What happens if it finds the playerâs character but doesnât find their HumanoidRootPart, though? Does it return the Character or just nil?
Iâve updated the function to use my experienceâs CharacterStorage âsystemâ, so that codeâs now pretty much completely different now. This advice/tip could be useful for CharacterStorage, though, since that âsystemâ tries to quickly get references to character models, body parts, and other instances many times. I donât know if that script uses a pcall, though.
-- RemainingTries = 5
if player:GetAttribute("CharacterGUID") then
entry = CharStorage:GetDictionary(player:GetAttribute("CharacterGUID"), false)
if entry then
-- Is this Player within the requested number of studs of the door? They're in the way if that's the case! Break the loop here.
if entry.Character and entry.Humanoid.RootPart and (entry.Humanoid.RootPart.Position-_reference).Magnitude <= _radius then
IsClose = true
break
end
else print("IsCharacterNear:", player.Name, "doesn't have a CharacterStorage entry yet. Skipping!")
end
else print("IsCharacterNear:", player.Name, "hasn't been given a GUID yet. Skipping!")
end
