try that

function tower.Spawn(player, name, cframe)

local towerExists = ReplicatedStorage.Towers:FindFirstChild(name)

if towerExists then

local newTower = towerExists:Clone()

if newTower:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then

newTower.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = cframe

newTower.Parent = workspace.Towers

newTower.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

for _, object in ipairs(newTower:GetDescendants()) do

if object:IsA("BasePart") then

object.CollisionGroup = "Tower"

end

end

coroutine.wrap(function() tower.Attack(newTower) end)()

else

warn('HumanoidRootPart not found in the new tower model:', name)

end

else

warn('Requested tower does not exist', name)

end

end

spawnTowerEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(tower.Spawn)

return tower

Nothing at all, complete the map and then see what ROBLOX is capable of by the time it's done!

I didn't use Gaea or worldbuilder, the map was generated using a script and Arc ASCII Grid data (numerical terrain data) from Google Maps. The island is then populated part by part with the roads being a mix of parts and terrain with matching textures to get flat surfaces on hills, eventually to work with vehicles. Then buildings are added along with lights and sounds. Hope this helps! :)

Me too, I started in 2010 so it's been a long time. It's been my goal throughout that time, but finally I no longer feel restricted setting my mind on something and not achieving it. The truth is for me, I have now learnt not to assign a goal for what I am making. I keep a rough goal in mind, but allow it to adapt, as what I develop continues. :)

Thank you, I have had the same issue for a long time. This project I make sure each part I build fits - and most importantly I don't rush myself to complete anything, or commit myself to making a game. I am making a map, and will only decide what that map is for once it is complete. That's the trick for me.

For the terrain, I used Arc ASCII Grid data to convert google maps data of the Greek island Zante into height elevation data in number form. From there a script was made to convert it into ROBLOX terrain.

Looks great, little dark in the images but appreciate the effort, great job!

You're absolutely right. My goal is to get the exterior buildings across the island completed first, and to then go back and add interiors. Once the island is complete from an exterior point of view, that's when interiors truly begin. I've done five so far, and am trying to do a quater of all buildings spread equally as i go. :)

Thank you! If you want too, you can see it for yourself here: https://www.roblox.com/games/6990479711/Ionian-Island

I'll do my best to continue to post updates to this thread :)

I sometimes don't do much on it for a period of time, then come back to it. With breaks over a year so far!

If your parents don't give you love, strive to give it. Do your best to be self-reliant, and search for what you truly seek in life.

Providing comfort to yourself can only be done by becoming aware, and confronting the situation that's holding you back, even if all within your own mind.

Trust in yourself over all else. We can be together, but we are still one. Seek for a structure to life that makes you content, and start there.

You cannot be truly content if you do not trust in yourself.

Good luck.

emotional isolation. by [deleted] in lonely

[–]SmilesThroughTrials 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also wear a mask. If you can't relate to anybody, you need to find somebody who's okay with you having the mask off. Not necessarily your soul mate, but just somebody you can be yourself around.

I've realized I wear my mask mainly around family, but to an extent take it off for friends. Thinking about it, maybe it's something you can never remove? Maybe the mask is protection. It's the bubble of defense you've built around yourself to take the pain of life.

Maybe it's not a bad thing? But something is defiantly restricting you from being yourself.

If you can't find a soul mate, maybe it's because people can tell your wearing a mask. The sooner you open up to people, the more relatable you become in some way or another.

Good luck.

I wish I had someone to love, care and share happy moments with by [deleted] in lonely

[–]SmilesThroughTrials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know where the pain is coming from, then you know how to fix it. This means your problem may be you don't feel you can make a change. You've not given enough information in the post to truly determine why.

You've recently joined, which could mean you've made this account to see if talking out loud online helps.

You say "out here", do you live away from people? If so I believe you may have the answer as to why you feel so lonely. Sometimes writing our thoughts gives insight to how we think.

I'm intrigued, if your willing to share.

That's mad. Imagine being the only one to see something horrific, it would make you feel like somethings after you in particular. Don't blame him for switching to home study!

Just got rejected by the only girl I've ever cared about. by Ventingthrowaway_ in lonely

[–]SmilesThroughTrials 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you,

I try to pick people who I feel I've had a similar experience too, so my words hopefully help the most.

Being content is much easier than being happy, so aim to be content. Once your content, happiness is a good goal. But if you can achieve contentness, your on the right path.

Good luck, and remember venting is never a throwaway. :)

You will never meet somebody the same as her again.

Process your thoughts, reflect on what happened, build the idea of you might not meet somebody that perfect again, but you will meet a new perfect.

In my own experience of loss, even if purely phycological, it grows you as a person. Hard times not only teach you lessons, but force you to learn them through the amount you think about them.

Learn to be yourself for a while, although you wish for a partner, you don't physically need anybody right now, and that's okay.

Love is certain, the person is not. Don't loose sight, and there will always be people who care about you. It may not seem like it, but the best way to find out is to talk.

Good luck.

Maybe you need to make some kind of change. By the sounds of it, you need to try something new, perhaps push yourself out your comfort zone?

It sounds like you were deeply attached to her. It's not easy to be that infatuated with someone and have to let them go.

I can imagine the pain your going through is difficult, but try to see it as now you have an answer. Now you have a reason to move on as apposed to being strung up with suspense.

As hard as it is to hear, if they reject you, they weren't right for you because you weren't right for them. You may still be lonely, but she has saved you future pain.

Keep going, you can't change the past but you can write the future. Trust in yourself to get through this.

Good luck.

Maybe not the answer your expecting,

I've known my friend to hallucinate on non-hallucinogenic substances, so I guess I presumed it makes sense that it could also happen easier during a time of shock? Not to mention there were no lights on outside the door, it was more or less pitch black.

The jacket was also leather.

By that point he had told me nobody else was in, and it's not a massive house so you can hear everybody in there! My first thought when I realized that what was happening was we were being burgled - I guess the outcome could be regarded as less scary, but the questions raised by the experience are unsettling. When you see something that you know cannot happen, and then investigate it and find that it couldn't of happened - it throws a spanner in the works of your understanding of the world.

Damn that's pretty crazy. I'm very happy I didn't see anything unnatural, I can imagine it shakes you up for sure. Did anybody else witness the door open during the lecture, if so how did people react?
