Hey anyone Know how to make a player control Monster

[spice tundra]

Do anyone know how to make a player control monster because I’m trying to use it for my game

[near crane]

just give a costume to the player

[spice tundra]

No not like a costume like an Player when the players move the model moves with it

[near crane]

then make the model part of the body of the costume

[molten thorn]

Like the huggy wuggy game?

[spice tundra]

Yea

[molten thorn]

You can use the AI method which is creating an AI

that follows the player that’s assign as a monster

[spice tundra]

I meant a player control what you control where the player that is moving around is playing at the monster no costumes no AI player control only.

[near crane]

that's some pretty advanced stuff

[molten thorn]

There’s no way tho you would have to stick to what you got

[near crane]

you could set the player up in a room to press buttons that make the monster move on a set path

[molten thorn]

AI is the easiest way because manually you would have to do a lot of calculation

[molten thorn]

You could use a player get forward vector so when the player does the monster does

[near crane]

that would be so buggy due to recroom's awful networking

[molten thorn]

Pretty much it’s like making from scratch a 3rd person controller

[near crane]

idk why tho, you could just make a costume

[molten thorn]

Or an AI that follows an assigned player

If he wants custom animations or jump scares

[near crane]

@spice tundra is this why you don't want a costume?

[spice tundra]

Yes when the player selects the monster I’m trying to put it on their player when they can move around they use trigger handles to attack and use their ability

[molten thorn]

I mean it is possible to jump scare with a costume but you would have to do extra work like finding the location of the player and also making a trigger volume to follow the player and as you said rec room’s networking is bad

[molten thorn]

Your only option is AI then

Or creating a character controller from scratch

[near crane]

well when the monster catches the player it could just teleport them to a jumpscare room

or you should practice making normal AI first before making player controlled

[molten thorn]

You would have to use 30hz for making the trigger volume move

[molten thorn]

It’s as easy as assigning the AI a role to follow

And then clamping all stuff you need into the model

[near crane]

or the player can hold an item

that's how springtrapshunt did it

[molten thorn]

That only gives one tick doesn’t it?

I don’t think it updates

[near crane]

you clamp a trigger volume to it

[molten thorn]

Like if you try to do constant shooting with a toggle button then it will just tick once

[molten thorn]

Or you could make the 30hz toggleable

With an if chip

[near crane]

you don't need any 30hz for it

you can take a weapon then design it and clamp a trigger volume to it

so when it touches a player that player gets teleported to a jumpscare room

[molten thorn]

It’s not linked to delta time tho and it will just act with the players frame rate or that’s what I think

[molten thorn]

Or an animated seat I guess

[near crane]

if it's clamped then the position gets updated with the weapon

so wherever the weapon is, the trigger volume goes there to

[molten thorn]

Okay now I understood

[near crane]

but you gotta make sure to configure the trigger volume to ignore the killers

[molten thorn]

But the issue with that is that you can’t change the physics mode of a weapon and if you forgot to freeze it then it’s going to be all messed up

[near crane]

if you have it clamped already then it doesn't matter

even in edit mode, the clamp will make sure the items stick to the weapon

I made plenty of games with items clamped to physical objects

it even stays clamped when the item respawns

[molten thorn]

I mean the issue is when setting it up

[near crane]

You can freeze it when setting it up initially, but afterwards you unfreeze it

[glad wraith]

I don’t think anyone here is thinking clearly considering that the best solution is using recroom AI

Set position and rotation of the monster to the player’s rotation and position

[molten thorn]

That’s what I wanted to say

AI is best because you can set custom animations or jumpscares without having to teleport

Just like how project playtime did (or that’s what I think)

[glad wraith]

You can still use animations with what I said

[junior latch]

Ya'll are over complicating this so damn much.....

If you want to do the ^FlashlightFreeze type of control:

Use the Player's Position but use Vector Split and connect the X & Z to a Vector3 Create, and change the Y to be where the floor if the map is. Then use this with the Position for Set Transform, and use the Player's Forward Vector as the Rotation.

If you want to do the other one (where the player is in the map inside of the monster):

Use a Set Transform with the Player's Position & Forward Vector, and use a Role Chip assigned to the player as the monster to Hide This Avatar.

@glad wraith @molten thorn @near crane @spice tundra

Both of these are so much easier than making an entire algorithm for an automated AI, which is not easier than ya'll say.

[glad wraith]

Dont know why you @ed me

[junior latch]

I @'d everyone in this chat

[glad wraith]

Fair but we both said to just set position and rotation

[junior latch]

Fair

Y'know what, I'm just gonna make this as an invention (one with basic features for free, and another with improved and efficient with more features for a cost)

[violet radish]

use the ol’ cube on back holster method lol, then use a seat and animation gizmo

[molten thorn]

Well I saw a tutorial with the object spawner

Where you just take the position of a goblin and then raise it

[glad wraith]

Don’t touch the object spawner

It’s broken as hell and should really be depreciated

For the record, the same applies to combatant chips

[glad wraith]

Also that doesn’t work because it rotates with you when you crouch
