Help with a roblox Tower Defense Game

[limpid rover]

I recently switched from using humanoid:MoveTo() in my scripts to tweenService for moving enemies down a path in a tower defense game. This works fine and the enemies move through the waypoints in the path but with one issue.

local distance = (mobToSpawn.HumanoidRootPart.Position - waypoints[i].Position).Magnitude
local speed = distance / humanoid.WalkSpeed

local positionTween = tweenService:Create(mobToSpawn.HumanoidRootPart, TweenInfo.new(speed, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {Position = waypoints[i].Position})

positionTween:Play()
positionTween.Completed:Wait()

I tween the position of the HumanoidRootPart directly to the waypoint, which causes the enemies to float above the path

yo

@limpid rover

[limpid rover]

Yes

[harsh solar]

try use position like this

local distance = (mobToSpawn.HumanoidRootPart.Position - waypoints[i].Position).Magnitude
local speed = distance / humanoid.WalkSpeed

local cframe = CFrame.new(waypoints[i].Position)
local positionTween = tweenService:Create(mobToSpawn.HumanoidRootPart, TweenInfo.new(speed, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {CFrame = cframe})

positionTween:Play()
positionTween.Completed:Wait()

I changed that, but the problem is the enemies floating like this

I think its because the waypoint is above the path, but if i move the waypoint down other enemies with different sizes will stop working

[harsh solar]

uh

mhmmmm

[limpid rover]

I've tried using alignPosition but its too confusing for me

** You are now Level 2! **

[harsh solar]

add

offset

based on size

[limpid rover]

size of the humanoidRootPart

I could try that

[harsh solar]

local distance = (mobToSpawn.HumanoidRootPart.Position - waypoints[i].Position).Magnitude
local speed = distance / humanoid.WalkSpeed

local yOffset = mobToSpawn.HumanoidRootPart.Size.Y / 2
local cframe = CFrame.new(waypoints[i].Position + Vector3.new(0, yOffset, 0))
local positionTween = tweenService:Create(mobToSpawn.HumanoidRootPart, TweenInfo.new(speed, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {CFrame = cframe})

positionTween:Play()
positionTween.Completed:Wait()

yOffset

not any other offset

[tight glade]

use :Lerp()

CFrame:Lerp(math.clamp( ... ), 0, 1)

load animation separately

[harsh solar]

idk what he talk about, but he a sure cool guy

[limpid rover]

theyre floating higher

[harsh solar]

xDDD

it looks funny now

[limpid rover]

yea

[harsh solar]

then change the offset to ur likings

find a good offset

[limpid rover]

ik

[tight glade]

you need math 5 class and logic to do this

[pure tangle]

ok Mr.Math

[harsh solar]

math people trying to overcomplicate things always:

[limpid rover]

I think Yoffest works

[harsh solar]

kool

[limpid rover]

lemme check with other enemies rq

[harsh solar]

make offset different for enemies sizes I guess

bros writing a math formula now

I bet

[pure tangle]

Fr

i was tinking about that

[harsh solar]

bros Eistein

[pure tangle]

he writing essay

[harsh solar]

he write a new math love story

dont worry

bro's doing all his math homework right now in this forum 100%

[pure tangle]

and came like you know what is 2 plus 2

ofc i know man its 45

[tight glade]

no

[pure tangle]

Yes

[harsh solar]

bro wrote allat

for nothing

[limpid rover]

it works instead of doing math i just move the humanoid root part down

thx

[pure tangle]

he writing Newton's Gravity Formula

[harsh solar]

https://imgur.com/1u1avu7

[harsh solar]

he's reforming all his formulas

[pure tangle]

Bro is angry

[harsh solar]

I think we gonna see a new reform in math history right now

[pure tangle]

Yes

Bro wtf are you writing like

12000 pages math formula?

[harsh solar]

wtf this dude writing

@limpid rover can u close this

forum?

think guy is writing his life plans here

[limpid rover]

yep

[tight glade]

no

local zombieSpeed = 10 -- studs/sec
local zombieSize = Vector3.new(2, 4, 2) -- :GetExtentedSize()
local zombieStartPosition = Vector3.new(0, 2, 0) -- :GetPivot().Position

local point = Vector3.new(10, 0, 10) -- point to zombie need to go(let him on the ground to point)

local toGo = point + Vector3.new(0, zombieSize.Y/2, 0)

game["Run Service"].Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
timer += dt
zombieStartPosition:Lerp(toGo, math.clamp ( zombieSpeed * timer), 0, 1 )
end)

[harsh solar]

bro said no 💀

[harsh solar]

ALLAT FOR THIS?

@pure tangle we got scammed....

[pure tangle]

yep

[harsh solar]

bro even sent no logic code

[tight glade]

stop i think

[pure tangle]

NOW GIMME MY 5+5 min

[harsh solar]

isnt this 26?

[pure tangle]

no 32

[tight glade]

now

but there's still a lot to do if you're doing tower defense

[harsh solar]

@pure tangle I think this guy is a monkey

but not sure yet

[pure tangle]

uga buga 😦

[tight glade]

why?
