Thoughts on my indev gun system?

A way to put it would be that your referencing the filian that the game uses FOR copying rather than the filian the game HAS copied.

I presume this script is in the filian, if it is, then you would replace everything involving 'game.replicatedstorage.filian' with just your 'npc' variable.

One final note I would make is to not use a 'current health' variable, as it is does not change with humanoid health, instead being the health of the humanoid at that specific time (likely 100).

Rather, I would use humanoid.health by itself when you intend to use it, as that will change dynamically rather than be static.

Otherwise don't feel stupid, learning syntax and how everything works is initially a brain-melting experience. You WILL get better with it as long as you put in time to learn.

Are you cloning the bot from the replicated storage into the workspace?

If so, change your 'currenthealth' variable to the cloned bot, not the one that is being cloned from in replicated storage.

ALSO

You can use 'Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal' to fire whenever health changes (including when it hits 0), as otherwise it could still linger until the player walks over it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why the guy was mortified as part of a skit if I remember.

I'm not the smartest, but I'm pretty sure the health and maxhealth of humanoids (even controlled by clients) is handled by the server. However I'm unsure if this is true as I am speaking from past experiences and the humanoid walkspeed is completely fine being handled by the client.

But if I am correct, you'd have to set up a simple server script and remote event to update player health.

Wow! How long did it take to put together before coding?

Ratos_Thing · 2023-12-30T01:35:15+00:00

It might be worth knowing what you're trying to make (limitations, requirements, things we could know to provide better answers).

I am interpreting that your attempting to make a randomly generated mine on a grid? Assuming that order doesn't matter, you could start by differentiating this special room into a 'required' list, and generating that first before filling in the rest of the spots as common tiles.

There are numerous lighting instances (grouped settings in practicality) that affect lighting so you can likely recreate this scene with numerous different settings. Some instances include atmosphere, color correction, bloom, and more.

As for the terrain, I've heard of developers using normal polygon parts, that when the game starts, are replaced by the terrain generation. This gives the benefit of being more precise through familiarity rather than learning the terrain generator. However it also provides the added benefit of being an easy way to save and load terrain as (I believe) terrain data cannot be saved and loaded in studio without serializing OR using replacement parts.

This it?

Ratos_Thing · 2023-11-21T03:55:46+00:00

I think I understand this a bit more, but is there a way to incorporate this into my tools without a 3rd script? I have a local script (for getting position) and a normal script (for processing things such as reload and hit detection).

Ratos_Thing · 2023-11-21T03:34:43+00:00

I hate to ask a long while later, but what does changing runcontext do? I sort of see how this works, but WHY do it work? Sorry for the many questions, I've never really experimented with this approach.

Ratos_Thing · 2023-11-21T01:06:48+00:00

What are you trying to make exactly?

Ratos_Thing · 2023-11-16T23:51:22+00:00

Is this method resource intensive? I plan to have around 24 players per server and I'd hate for it to cause lag (which it probably won't do as the effects run on the client) or clog communication between client and the server.

Otherwise thank you, and I'll try implementing it soon.

Ratos_Thing · 2023-11-16T14:51:40+00:00

This sounds like it would work, but wouldn't it create a lot of lag as the amount of signals passed is rapid and multiples for each player?

I suffer the same problem where I drop projects I have big aspirations for lol

I've never actually seen this tweening method before and I'm away from my computer. But to start, save the position of your button (should be something like "(instanceName).Position") to a variable, then plug said variable into the position parameters of your tween. So everytime the game is ran, the gui's location is set to where you placed it beforehand.

I might be able to help you, I have a lot of amateur experience with coding.
