It's just hovering a block above the player's head but it's really choppy, how do I smooth it out?
local thng = game.ServerStorage.ioo:Clone()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
thng.Parent = workspace
thng.Name = plr.Name.."'s ioo"
thng.CanCollide = false
local char = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
while wait() do
thng.Position = char.Head.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
end
end)
local thng = game.ServerStorage.ioo:Clone()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
thng.Parent = workspace
thng.Name = plr.Name.."'s ioo"
thng.CanCollide = false
local char = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
while wait() do
thng.Position = char.Head.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
end
end)
wait() is about 1/30th of a second.
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:wait()
RenderStepped is about 1/60th of a second, so just add that into it.
local thng = game.ServerStorage.ioo:Clone()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
thng.Parent = workspace
thng.Name = plr.Name.."'s ioo"
thng.CanCollide = false
local char = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
while game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:wait() do
thng.Position = char.Head.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
end
end)
Actually, I say the best way to do it is using heartbeat, heartbeat will fire about 40 times per second, ensuring that you get the right CFrame;
first we have to get the runservice;
local rs = get:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat
then, if you wanted you could have it followed by the playeradded function,
local rs = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat
local thng = game.ServerStorage.ioo:Clone()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
thng.Parent = workspace
thng.Name = plr.Name.."'s ioo"
thng.CanCollide = false
local char = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
rs:connect(function()
thng.Position = char.Head.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
end)
end)
HeartBeat fires for the players FPS, if they have a bad computer, it might not work right
@theCJarmy7 It's the same w/ RenderStepped too; if the player's actual FPS lowers, so does the amount of times RenderStepped does too. :P
Really? The wiki must be forgetting things...
You could use RunService RenderStepped, more specifically :BindToRenderStep(). This is an example of how you can implement this into your script. Or you can just use a weld. You must use :WaitForChild for this so I already changed it for you.
local thng = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChlid('ioo'):Clone()
game.RunService:BindToRenderStep("PutAnythingHere", Enum.RenderPriority.Last.Value, function()
thng.Parent = workspace
thng.Name = plr.Name.."'s ioo"
thng.CanCollide = false
local char = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
thng.Position = char.Head.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
end)

is this FE?
no
Oh, then just use RunService
Use a weld
To make it more efficient, I'd: 1. Instead of just line 1 getting 'ioo' automatically, why not use 'WaitForChild' just incase if it isn't existant in time of execution? 2. I wouldn't use line 7 either; I'd just use 'plr.Character' :P 3. I'd recommend using 'CharacterAdded' too, because if the player resets, they'll lose 'ioo' w/ your current code. ;-;
