How to make a blocking system on roblox?
so I have made the animation work just fine but I cant seem to get the script working so that if a player is blocking and they were hit they take less damage.
here is my animation script:
local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local BlockAnim = script:WaitForChild('BlockAnim')
local KeyDown = false
local Hum = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
local anim = Hum:LoadAnimation(BlockAnim)
local tool = game.StarterPack.ClassicSword
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local isBlocking = tool.Handle.IsBlocking.Value
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
KeyDown = true
end
while KeyDown == true do
isBlocking = true
print(isBlocking)
game.StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed = 0
game.StarterPlayer.CharacterJumpPower = 25
anim:Play()
wait(.01)
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
KeyDown = false
end
while KeyDown == false do
isBlocking = false
print(isBlocking)
game.StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed = 16
game.StarterPlayer.CharacterJumpPower = 50
anim:Stop()
wait(.1)
end
end)
I made a variable for if the player is blocking (isBlocking) this might help you. idk i also have no idea on where to start.
Sword Script:
local cooldown = script.Parent.Parent.CoolDown.Value
local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local isblocking = tool.Handle.IsBlocking.Value
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
script.Parent.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
local Humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
if Humanoid and cooldown == false then
Humanoid:TakeDamage(7)
cooldown = true
wait(.5)
cooldown = false
end
end)
end)

For a server script, do:
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BlockEvent = RS:WaitForChild("BlockEvent")
local DamageEvent = RS:WaitForChild("DamageEvent")
DamageEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, OtherPlayer, Damage)
OtherPlayer.Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
end)
BlockEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Blocked)
if OtherCharacter:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then
OtherTool = OtherCharacter.ClassicSword
elseif Players[OtherCharacter.Name].Backpack:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then
OtherTool = Players[OtherCharacter.Name].Backpack.ClassicSword
end
OtherTool.IsBlocking.Value = Blocked
end)
Make two events, one called "BlockEvent" and one called "DamageEvent" and place them in ReplicatedStorage
Now delete the animation script and replace the sword script with this:
local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local Cooldown = false
local BlockAnim = script:WaitForChild('BlockAnim')
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Anim = Hum:LoadAnimation(BlockAnim)
local Tool = script.Parent
local IsBlocking = tool.Handle.IsBlocking
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BlockEvent = RS:WaitForChild("BlockEvent")
local DamageEvent = RS:WaitForChild("DamageEvent")
local OtherCharacter, OtherTool
anim.Looped = true
local RegDamage = 7
local BlockDamage = 2
function GetTouchingParts(part)
local connection = part.Touched:Connect(function() end)
local results = part:GetTouchingParts()
connection:Disconnect()
return results
end
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, Processed)
if Processed then
return
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
Anim:Play()
Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 25
BlockEvent:FireServer(true)
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input, Processed)
if Processed then
return
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
Anim:Stop()
Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50
BlockEvent:FireServer(false)
end
end)
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if not Cooldown then
Cooldown = true
OtherCharacter = nil
OtherTool = nil
for Index, Part in pairs(GetTouchingParts(Tool.Handle)) do
if Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and Part.Parent.Name ~= Player.Name then
OtherCharacter = Part.Parent
end
end
if OtherCharacter:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then
OtherTool = OtherCharacter.ClassicSword
elseif Players[OtherCharacter.Name].Backpack:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then
OtherTool = Players[OtherCharacter.Name].Backpack.ClassicSword
end
if OtherTool.IsBlocking.Value then
DamageEvent:FireServer(Players[OtherCharacter.Name], BlockDamage)
OtherCharacter.Humanoid:TakeDamage(BlockDamage)
else
DamageEvent:FireServer(Players[OtherCharacter.Name], RegDamage)
OtherCharacter.Humanoid:TakeDamage(RegDamage)
end
wait(.5)
Cooldown = false
end
end)
I'm really tired and about to go to sleep so if you run into any problems, just comment and i'll help in the morning. If you need an explanation of the script, i'll also do one in the morning
This is really a good start. Next thing, you have to send the blocking request to the server, and make all attacks detect if the player is blocking, and deal less damage/no damage, with a special animation.
Try making all characters have a Blocking boolvalue inside of them. Call the server to turn this bool on or off. Attacks should check.. if Blocking then else..
