Why wont my monster spawn? I keep getting a error on line 8
Is there anything wrong with the code or with the RunService?
I already tried changing the RunService to while true do
How can I make it so that the monster will have a chance to spawn every second?
If this is code on the server, i dont think you can use RenderStepped on the server.
Youve tried while true do but have you tried while task.wait(1) do
Try this.
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
--code here
end)
Where is this Script Located?
If its a LocalScript, use a Server Script
if a Server Script, should work for every player
If its inside ServerScriptService, just put the Monster Inside the script
while task.wait(MDT) do
CD = true
local RM = math.random(1,10)
if RM == 1 then
CD = false
local Mob = script.Monster:Clone()
Mob.Parent = workspace
Mob:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Spawn1.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,2,0))
elseif RM == 2 then
CD = false
local Mob = script.Monster:Clone()
Mob.Parent = workspace
Mob:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Spawn2.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,2,0))
elseif RM == 3 then
CD = false
local Mob = script.Monster:Clone()
Mob.Parent = workspace
Mob:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Spawn3.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,2,0))
elseif RM == 4 then
CD = false
local Mob = script.Monster:Clone()
Mob.Parent = workspace
Mob:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Spawn4.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,2,0))
end
end
You cant, You can only use Stepped and Heartbeat on the Server
@alexjouq This does the same same thing, there is not really a point in doing it
I would recommend just numbering the Monsters to randomize which Monster will be cloned
First, here’s the code in text form using OCR, but you should really post your code in the thread:
cd = false
local Spawn1 = game.Workspace["Roomate/CheackMateSpawnPoints"].UpperSpawnPoint
local Spawn2 = game.Workspace["Roomate/CheackMateSpawnPoints"].LowerSpawnPoint
local Spawn3 = game.Workspace["Roomate/CheackMateSpawnPoints"].RightSpawnPoint
local Spawn4 = game.Workspace["Roomate/CheackMateSpawnPoints"].LeftSpawnPoint
local MDT = 5
game["Run Service"].RenderStepped:Connect(
function()
if cd == false then
cd = true
local RandomNumber = math.random(1, 10)
if RandomNumber == 10 then
local RandomNumber2 = math.random(1, 4)
if RandomNumber2 == 1 then
local Monster = game.ServerStorage.Monsters.Roomate
local MonsterClone = Monster:Clone()
MonsterClone.Parent = game.Workspace
MonsterClone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Spawnl.CFrame
wait(MDT)
cd = false
end
if RandomNumber2 == 2 then
local Monster = game.ServerStorage.Monsters.Roomate
local MonsterClone = Monster:Clone()
MonsterClone.Parent = game.Workspace
MonsterClone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Spawn2.CFrame
wait(MDT)
cd = false
end
if RandomNumber2 == 3 then
local Monster = game.ServerStorage.Monsters.Roomate
local MonsterClone = Monster:Clone()
MonsterClone.Parent = game.Workspace
MonsterClone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Spawn2.CFrame
wait(MDT)
cd = false
end
if RandomNumber2 == 4 then
local Monster = game.ServerStorage.Monsters.Roomate
local MonsterClone = Monster:Clone()
MonsterClone.Parent = game.Workspace
MonsterClone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Spawn4.CFrame
wait(MDT)
cd = false
end
end
end
end
)
Second, here’s the code but vastly less redundant:
local spawnPointContainer = workspace:FindFirstChild("Roomate/CheackMateSpawnPoints")
local spawnPoints = {}
for _, dir in {"Upper", "Lower", "Right", "Left"} do
table.insert(spawnPoints, spawnPointContainer:FindFirstChild(dir .. "SpawnPoint"))
end
local MDT = 5
while true do
task.wait(1)
local RandomNumber = math.random(1, 10)
if RandomNumber == 10 then
local Monster = game.ServerStorage.Monsters.Roomate
local MonsterClone = Monster:Clone()
MonsterClone.Parent = workspace
local SpawnCFrame = spawnPoints[math.random(1, #spawnPoints)].CFrame
MonsterClone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = SpawnCFrame
task.wait(MDT)
end
end
Finally, post errors that you see from the Output console in this thread.
This is cool, but it does the same thing either way.
Not true. To add a spawn point container in the new code, all he has to do is add the first part of the container name here:
Whereas before, he would’ve had to copy paste another set of code blocks. I know OP is new to programming, so I figured I’d show a side by side of copy pasted code and efficient code.
Looking at it, yes it does do the same thing, its just made to look more complicated
The scirpt is located in WorkSpace. Does this effect anything???
Each monster has its own script. Some have a chance to spawn every second, Some will spawn every Minute. Some will spawn once every day passes in my game
Put all the monster spawning logic in one script and put that script in ServerScriptService.
Put the monsters in a folder in ReplicatedStorage and clone them into the workspace.
