I'm stuck halfway through a script, How can I make a script that moves a part?

Asked 156 views1 answers

I have planned to make something, a GUI that once clicked, shoots something. The only thing I want to make right now is a simple textbutton that says "click to shoot a ball", after that, It shoots a ball forward, and that's it.

This is the script.

LocalScript In StarterGui > ScreenGui > Textbutton

user = script.Parent.Parent.Parent

script.Parent.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.TEST_SummonBal:FireServer(user)
	print("oh nice you shot a ball") --Just to make sure the FireServer worked.
end)

Script in ServerScriptService

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.TEST_SummonBal.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(user)
	local player = user.Character
	local Root = player:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local Bullet = game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapons.BasicBullet:Clone()
	local MoveScript = game.ServerStorage.MoveScript:clone() --Movescript is Disabled, by the way.
	
	Bullet.Parent = game.Workspace
	MoveScript.Parent = Bullet --To make the Moving Part Script happen.
	
	Bullet.Position = Root.Position
	
	MoveScript.Disabled = false
	
	wait(3)
	
	Bullet:Destroy()

end)

--Sidenote: "Bullet" can't collide with the player.

It all seems to work, but one thing. I don't know how to make the "MoveScript", Which must, err...

You guys remember pokemon advanced?, The attacks worked in a way that they moved forward from the player, Here's a video example of that https://youtu.be/kefQj5vew6o?t=218 (Notice Persian's PayDay attack)

That's what I want the movescript to do, However, I don't know how to make it.

You can give me a hand, right?

If you're going to be those persons and right out just post the script, AT LEAST Explain me how it works, I won't learn anything if you don't teach me.

Firstly, you don't need to put 'user' in the FireServer() parameter in the local script. OnServerEvent automatically gets the player that fired the event. Secondly, :connect is deprecated, you should use :Connect instead. Lastly, you should try to code the script yourself and post your attempt if you fail.

About the third one: I Don't know how, I don't know how to make ANYTHING of the script, detecting the player's "front", disabling gravity, making it move forward, nothing, That's why I asked for help.

Hey Chris75764,

#Solution:

###Try using the lookVector property of the CFrame and use a BodyVelocity object to make the object move forward. I wrote my own piece of code to make just a simple ball move forward after it spawns in front of the character. Here it is:

####Example Code

-- Local Script under StarterGui
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService") -- The UserInputService to detect input.
local players = game:GetService("Players") -- Players service
local player = players.LocalPlayer -- The player that the script is under.

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(obj, gp) -- Anonymous function with the input and gameProcessed event as arguments.
	if obj.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and not gp then -- Checks if the player pressed 'Q' and if it was pressed while typing in chat or meant to be pressed.
		local part = Instance.new("Part") -- Makes a part
		-- Property preferences --
		part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
		part.Transparency = math.random()
		part.Size = Vector3.new(5, 5, 5)
		part.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
		-- Property preferences --

		local char = player.Character -- The character of the player
		local root = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") -- The HumanoidRootPart of the player
		part.CFrame = root.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -3) -- Spawns the part 3 studs in front of the character's humanoid.
		local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity") -- Makes the body velocity object.
		bv.Parent = part -- Parents it to the part
		bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) -- Sets its maxForce to infinity
		bv.Velocity = root.CFrame.lookVector * 100 -- Makes it move forward at a speed of 100.
		part.Parent = workspace -- Parents the part to workspace.
	end
end)
