Working on Flag Football System (need help)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey Developers! I’m currently trying to work on a unique unperformed idea for my ROBLOX game. “Flag Football”.

If you aren’t American, you wouldn’t understand, but I really need some help with this script!

I’m basically trying to make a system that spawns a flag on a characters hip, and once prompt triggered, play an animation and destroy the flag.

Heres the attachment script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		-- Wait for the HumanoidRootPart to be available
		local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

		-- Clone the flag from ServerStorage
		local flag = ServerStorage.Flag:Clone()
		flag.Name = "Flag"
		flag.Anchored = false
		flag.CanCollide = false

		-- Weld the flag to the player's hip
		local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
		weld.Part0 = humanoidRootPart
		weld.Part1 = flag
		weld.Parent = flag

		-- Set the flag's position relative to the hip
		flag.CFrame = humanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0.5)
		--flag.CFrame = humanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(90, 0, 0)
		flag.Parent = character
	end)
end)

This works perfectly, however my next script that actually destroys and plays an animation doesn’t work.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local function createPullPrompt(flag)
	local prompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
	prompt.ActionText = "PULL"
	prompt.ObjectText = "Flag"
	prompt.RequiresLineOfSight = false
	prompt.MaxActivationDistance = 5
	prompt.Parent = flag
	return prompt
end

local function playPullAnimation(character)
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if humanoid then
        local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator") or Instance.new("Animator", humanoid)
        local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
		animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://18669346948"
        local animationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
        animationTrack:Play()
    end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
			if child.Name == "Flag" then
				local prompt = createPullPrompt(child)

				prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(otherPlayer)
					   if otherPlayer.Team ~= player.Team then
                        playPullAnimation(otherPlayer.Character)

						-- Remove the flag
						child:Destroy()

						-- Respawn the flag after 8 seconds
						wait(8)
						if character and character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
							local newFlag = ServerStorage.Flag:Clone()
							newFlag.Name = "Flag"
							newFlag.Anchored = false
							newFlag.CanCollide = false

							local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
							weld.Part0 = character.HumanoidRootPart
							weld.Part1 = newFlag
							weld.Parent = newFlag

							newFlag.CFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0)
							newFlag.Parent = character

							createPullPrompt(newFlag)
						end
					end
				end)
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

This script was written by AI, and I’m not that good at technical scripting like this. But the console is clean, no errors or yellow messages. I need help ASAP please!

#2

It won’t play the animation or destroy, BTW!

#3

It’s likely that one or more of your conditions within the Triggered event are not being met. Add some print() statements throughout the event callback and see how far your script gets before it stops working.

#4

this sadly didn’t help, and my console is legit clear so I can’t take any advice from it.

#5

After revamping and revising some things, I’ve figured it out! :ok_hand:
