hm?
bright night
i have no clue what 60% of those words mean
tepid mauve
well. thats expected.
allow me to dumb it down for you.
i want it to look like that
as u can see
its not going in a zig zag path correctly

Why was I pinged in here?
tepid mauve
Why was I pinged in here?
bc you talked
dim crescent
Then why delete the message after pinging me?
tepid mauve
whats the issue
so
basically
scroll up
look
it doesnt go in a zig zag
it spawns in like

bro use rightvector and lookvector
severe river
yea ur hella stupid
tepid mauve
bro use rightvector and lookvector
wat that
indigo bough
get used to just using upvector rightvector and lookvector instead of adding vector3.new (just a tip)
severe river
RightVector is the Vector to the Righ

@glass socket
hi @severe river i love you so much wanna fix the code for me
indigo bough
also look at how the CFrame is literally the same
indigo bough
wait im so confused u do use rightvector and lookvector
glass socket
I made this in like
severe river
fr
tepid mauve
😊
glass socket
It was against my will
indigo bough
Bc he forced me
severe river
very
tepid mauve
..anyways.....
i want it like this
where u go in zig zag
straight down
and the explosion
tepid mauve
look
indigo bough
ur going up to the top
indigo bough
before u get to the top u go left right left right left
glass socket
It’s bc the execution of the script is weird bc the way you set it up for me was weird
indigo bough
because look
ur getting a new middle point every time
u didnt set it down before u started the loop
spring locust
Progress
tepid mauve
imma undo
spring locust
I mean you making progress :D
glass socket
Failure is progress
tepid mauve
I mean you making progress :D
no
im not
ive made no progresws
progress
i have actually
downwards trend in progresws
progress
im back at where i was now
spring locust
If you can make it worse then you can make it better, atleast your somewhere
spring locust
Progress isn't always linear
tepid mauve
Progress isn't always linear
help me sir
what do i do
whats my first step
mr. sage wasnt being a great help
mr. var @severe river
hello
indigo bough
progress is linear when u know what ur doing
r u just looking at the code and picking at random shit
tepid mauve
i need more explanation sir
indigo bough
start from scratch
indigo bough
first u get the start cframe which is where u r already
then u get the top which is X up
then u get the zig zag points
left right left right left right
now that u have all the points
now u can connect it all with tweens and effects
get the points first before u even tween anything or play any effects
then test if ur getting it right, by just spawning parts to those points
and then u can finally continue on to effects once thats all right
tepid mauve
first u get the start cframe which is where u r already
ok how do i do this
spring locust
...
HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
I think we have bigger issues if you don't know how to get a part's CFrame
spring locust
in my code
From the character CFrame you can apply some offset to it to get the final position. That's the next step sage listed
Then using this same concept for the zig-zag points inbetween
spring locust
You're joking right?
tepid mauve
From the character CFrame you can apply some offset to it to get the final posit...
Why do you use offset
For final position
spring locust
Because you want the final position to be based off your current position
tepid mauve
Then don’t give bad explanations
spring locust
And in what case are you getting the position
mighty ruin
what
tepid mauve
Because your not holding that value anywhere
How i add this
spring locust
Variables??! How are you scripter 1
mighty ruin
bruh
mighty ruin
And how do I write variables
local yourvariablename = the value
spring locust
We're not going to get anywhere at this pace, learn Lua
It has 21 or so keywords its really not that hard
tepid mauve
We're not going to get anywhere at this pace, learn Lua
Wdym?
I’m making good progress
“If you can make it worse then you can make it better, atleast your somewhere” - Censor
😎
spring locust
Because I assumed you had minimal knowledge of Lua
Your just fumbling around expecting things to work
tepid mauve
Good
spring locust
Go learn Lua
mighty ruin
spring locust
Or hire a scripter 🤷♂️
tepid mauve
From the character CFrame you can apply some offset to it to get the final posit...
Is this it
tepid mauve
Full outline
Yeah
I did cframe
I did exactly what you told me to do
@spring locust how are you s3?
pine sage
bruh
regal laurel
😭
pine sage
You don't have a reference to the HumanoidRootPart
tepid mauve
You don't have a reference to the HumanoidRootPart
ohh
pine sage
Using the word doesn't mean anything
pine sage
I'll be straight with you, you need to learn some basic scripting and then attempt this.
spring locust
They're just being intentionally difficult
I genuinely believe someone can't be this clueless
They're just trying to get a rise out of people
Trolling
regal laurel
Why is it in a module script
tepid mauve
They're just trying to get a rise out of people
No
I just want my vfx to be scripted sir
But I’m not getting good advice
pine sage
If you don't know anything about scripting, we can't really help you without simply doing it for you
tepid mauve
If you don't know anything about scripting, we can't really help you without sim...
Perfect
Do it for me sir
regal laurel
First thing is that you have it in a module script without requiring it in a script or local script
pine sage
No, no one here is going to do it for you
tepid mauve
No, no one here is going to do it for you
I am
?
@mighty ruin is doing it for me then
But
I want to do myself sir
And then he can do it
@fluid blaze why did you bring this prime guy does he know anything about scripting?
regal laurel
Bro?
regal laurel
Learn some scripting then write the script and finger out the problems then if you have error in the script then come back

You’re not doing a good job
You are supposed to explain to me
first u get the start cframe which is where u r already
Explain to me how to do this
This is why I opened the ticket

you make variable
tepid mauve
you make variable
Oh I see sir
local yourvariablename = the value
What would be the value sir?
empty salmon
primarypart
tepid mauve
Oh!!
regal laurel
You’re not doing a good job
Bro this is to help with errors in the code that has already been written. We don’t help you to write code from the start
tepid mauve
Why is the value primarypart?

I was told to rewrite the code sir
So that’s what I’m doing
Ohhh I know now
local yourvariablename = primarypart
What would be my variable name? 🤔
@empty salmon

If you want the HumanoidRootPart, you need the character
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
``` this only works in the client side

The code
tall lark
RootPart.CFrame.RightVector * RightVector +
RootPart.CFrame.LookVector * Forward
shouldn't RightVector and Forward actually be numbers instead of Vector3?
i mean, just 20 or -20 for RightVector and 10 for Forward
not Vector3s

Its a VFX artist which doesn't know how to script
what do you expect 😭
tall lark
RootPart.CFrame.RightVector * RightVector +
RootPart.CFr...
isn't this the problem?
he's like multiplying the Y and Z values of the CFrame.RightVector by 0, so it's only going to be pointing towards the global X axis isn't it?
the same with the CFrame.LookVector, instead of actually going towards the place the character is looking it's actually just going towards the Z axis
so this is creating a seemingly random path, but what's happening is that it creates a different outcome everytime you move your camera around
spring elm
You are supposed to explain to me
They aren't supposed to do anything for you
What I'm seeing is you're sitting here waiting to be spoonfed code without the most basic scripting knowledge, while insulting them for trying to help you
Quite frankly if I was any of them I would've left by now. I would suggest going to learn some LUAU before attempting to script, because talking to scripters isn't going to do you any good if you don't know what they're saying
pine sage
I already did this buddy
You didn't have what @empty salmon posted, which is why it didn't work
Combine the two
tepid mauve

uhhh
i have an issue
wait actually
do i replace both
of them
tall lark
yes
you don't have to replace them there i think
change their values here instead
just change it for -20 or 20
instead of Vector3.new(-20, 0, 0)
actually, what?
tepid mauve
kk
tall lark
local RightVector = Reverse and -20 or 20 -- Adjusted RightVector
local Forward = 20 -- Adjusted Forward
this
tepid mauve
local RightVector = Reverse and -20 or 20 -- Adjusted RightVector
local Forward...
huh
yes
i tested and sadly its still bugged
@tall lark
waut
it actually does kinda work
u need to hold Z though
if u click it, it does the bug
tepid mauve
what does it look like now?
tall lark
what is the problem now?
