How do I make laser fingers stop moving right arm and aim the laser right away?

Asked by 6 years ago

Hello.

I would like to know how to make Laser Fingers point at the cursor when my right arm is still and not moving.

Laser Fingers are a gear made by ROBLOX consisting of a red laser (draining health), a green laser (adding health) and a blue laser (pushing the humanoid target). By simply clicking left mouse button, the type and color of the laser are changed. The lasers shoot always when the tool is equipped.

However, I wish to change it a little bit.

I want to make it have the only blue laser and not moving the right arm.

I succeeded in leaving only the blue laser, but I still struggle with making the arm completely still and only the laser pointing at the cursor.

I tried to delete lines regarding the arm, but it did not work.

The tool is composed of a LocalScript and a Handle (Handle is with Audio and Mesh in it).

The whole script looks like this:

--[[Super Util]]--
function WaitForChild(parent,...)
    local debugPrint = false
    for _, i in ipairs({...}) do
        if type(i)=='boolean' then
            debugPrint = i
        else
            while not parent:FindFirstChild(i) do  
                wait(1/30) 
                if debugPrint then
                    print(script.Name..':'..parent.Name..' Waiting for '.. i)
                end
            end
            parent=parent[i]
        end
    end
    return parent
end

function ForEach(parent,func)
    if type(parent)=='table' then
        for _,i in pairs(parent) do
            func(i)
        end
    else
        for _,i in pairs(parent:GetChildren()) do
            func(i)
        end
    end
end

function MakeValue(class,name,value,parent)
    local temp = Instance.new(class)
    temp.Name = name
    temp.Value = value
    temp.Parent = parent
    return temp
end 

function TweenProperty(obj, propName, inita, enda, length,sentinel)
    local startTime = tick()
    local mySentinel = sentinel.Value
    local diff = enda-inita
    while tick()-startTime<length and mySentinel==sentinel.Value do
        obj[propName] = (((tick()-startTime)/length)*diff)+inita
        wait(1/30)
    end
    obj[propName] = enda    
end

I am looking forward for a solution or merely an advice.

Thank you.

On line 132. It says nweld = arm["RightShoulder"]. Something like that. I think the laser is welded to the shoulder hence still moving the arm. Delude_d 112 — 6y

I suggest you remove anything of the arm's descended/childs or welds that welds it to a specific part of the arm Delude_d 112 — 6y

Did it. There is only the mesh and no lasers are shooting. MatiWielun 35 — 6y
