2D Lane switcher. Problems switching to the Left/Right lanes. What have I done wrong?

Asked 276 views1 answers

Hey everyone, was just creating a 2d line runner game and needed help with the player being able to press "left/right" to switch lanes.

This is the turn script.

right = game:GetService("UserInputService")
left = game:GetService("UserInputService")
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Hplr = plr:GetPlayerFromCharacter(plr)
x = Vector3.new(math.random(1,10),0,0)
z = Vector3.new(0,0,math.random(1,10))



local function GoLeft()
	if Hplr.HumanoidRootPart then
		plr.Position += x
	end  
end

local function GoRight()
	plr:Move(Vector3.new(0,0,z))
end

left.InputBegan:Connect(function(left)
	if left.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Left
	then
		GoLeft()
	end
end)

right.InputBegan:Connect(function(right)
	if right.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Left
	then
		GoRight()
	end		
end)

would be happy to know what I've done wrong. I'm pretty new to scripting.

Thanks again c=

Edit: Script is in starterPlayerScripts btw

If you are saying that you want to instantly make the character look to the left or to the right,without the in between turning,then there is a much more simple way of doing it without GoRight() or GoLeft().

I have worked on 2D games too and this can be easily fixed with a simple thing.

Thought I do have a warning... Your game must be situated on the x axis.If your game is not situated on the X axis then this will not be able to turn you in the direction wanted.

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,IsTyping)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Left then 
		Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position,Vector3.new(-900000000,0,0))
--Pressing Left makes a CFrame that has the lookTo to a massive -x number,same goes for Right but this time its a positive x number
	elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Right then 
		Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position,Vector3.new(900000000,0,0))
	end
end)

--If you somehow have a distance larger than the x number,you might need to make it somehow larger.
