need help with scripting @bollaside

[opal pewter]

so basically I want the mobs to spawn in without them colliding with each other

@coarse spruce

[coarse spruce]

alright you gotta post the script tho cuz I do not remember it by heart (surprising, ik)

[opal pewter]

local mob = {}

function mob.Move(mob, map)
    local humanoid = mob:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local waypoints = map.Waypoints
    
    for waypoint=1, #waypoints:GetChildren() do
        humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[waypoint].Position)
        humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
    end
    
    mob:Destroy()
    
end

function mob.Spawn(name, quantity, map)
    local mobExists = ServerStorage.Mobs:FindFirstChild(name)
    
    if mobExists then
        for i=1, quantity do
            task.wait(0.5)
            local newMob = mobExists:Clone()
            newMob.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = map.Start.CFrame
            newMob.Parent = map.Mob

            coroutine.wrap(mob.Move)(newMob, map)
        end
        
    else
        warn("Requested mob does not exist:", name)
    end
end

return mob```

here

the mobs are spawning in just fune

fine(

fine*

I dont want them to collide with each other

thats it

[coarse spruce]

Ok so what you wanna do is make a CollisionGroup, make it so that mob group does not collide with mob group (itself) and set their parts to it

you'll need to make a variable for the PhysicsService

at the top

@opal pewter

[opal pewter]

so

to recap it, I gotta first go to model and get on the Collision groups?

and from there

[coarse spruce]

Hm?

nope

we're just doing everything in the script

[opal pewter]

oh

[coarse spruce]

so make a PhysicsService variable (it's just like ServerStorage but with PhysicsService instead)

tell me when done

[opal pewter]

like this?

[coarse spruce]

yep

now under mob variable, you'll want to use PhysicsService:CreateCollisionGroup(name) to create a collision group

replace name with the group name in quotes

[opal pewter]

ok

[coarse spruce]

it can be anything

but I'd recommend with something you'll later understand like "Mob"

[opal pewter]

could u help me locate where to place it? as I mentioned before I have no damm idea about scripting

[coarse spruce]

below local mob...

[opal pewter]

oh

alright

[coarse spruce]

and below that you're gonna want to put PhysicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable(name, name, false)

[coarse spruce]

where you'll replace name with your group anem

[coarse spruce]

no wait

in parentheses is supposed to be the group name in quotes

by just putting mob you're referencing to the variable above, that's not what you want

[opal pewter]

oh

then what should I write

[coarse spruce]

it's supposed to be something like "Mob"

[opal pewter]

OHH

bro you're actually cool

I am actually understanding things

for the first time

[coarse spruce]

Nice

[opal pewter]

so inside the bracket

I write

"Mob"

right?

[coarse spruce]

yes

[opal pewter]

now?

[coarse spruce]

now this but you replace name with the same group name as you did when you used CreateCollisionGroup

don't forget the quotes

and capital letters matter

[opal pewter]

PhysicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable(name, name, false)

[coarse spruce]

oh and leave false as is

[opal pewter]

ok

and there are two names

[coarse spruce]

yes, they're all the same

[opal pewter]

one will be Mob as per of the createdCollision group

what am I supposed to write then? Mob in both

?

[coarse spruce]

same in all 3 places

[opal pewter]

ok

like this?

also my folder is named Mobs

[coarse spruce]

nope, you forgot the quotes

[opal pewter]

Oh

my bad

wait what do u mean by quotes

like this?

☠️

[coarse spruce]

yes

[opal pewter]

oh

[coarse spruce]

just like that

[opal pewter]

works fine?

alright

[coarse spruce]

not yet

[opal pewter]

I was scared

[opal pewter]

@coarse spruce

[coarse spruce]

we only created the group and set if 2 parts have the same group they don't collide

[coarse spruce]

yeah ik that from the script

[opal pewter]

ok

it doesnt matter?

[coarse spruce]

so now

nope

[opal pewter]

ok

[coarse spruce]

so now we're gonna modify the mob.Spawn function

[opal pewter]

Ok

yeah

[coarse spruce]

we're gonna write a loop to make every part of the mob the group we need, below line 27 make a new line

[opal pewter]

because when I do this, the mob doesnt spawn or they fall down when they are being spawned

so I think now this will be resolved

I guess

[coarse spruce]

ok that's weird

but yeah

[opal pewter]

below line 27 I'll make a new line

[coarse spruce]

yes

[opal pewter]

basically I give a space in line 27

?

[coarse spruce]

below it

[opal pewter]

ok

[coarse spruce]

ok in detail, click at the end of line 27 and press enter

lol

[opal pewter]

done

ik

my bad

XD

[coarse spruce]

now you're gonna want to type this cryptic line: for _, obj in newMob:GetDescendants() do and press enter

so what this does is it loops through every instance inside of the mob model

[opal pewter]

ok

so should I copy exactly what you stated

[coarse spruce]

and what it does with each obj is should be at line 29

[opal pewter]

?

[coarse spruce]

yeah

[opal pewter]

like this?

[coarse spruce]

if you did it right there should be a blank line and end to lines below

[coarse spruce]

now press enter

[opal pewter]

did

[coarse spruce]

it should look something like this

for ....
  (your cursor here)
end

[opal pewter]

yeah yeah

it is

[coarse spruce]

alright

now here you're gonna want to check if the instance is an actual part that we can assign the group to

because if it's an image for example we can't do that

[opal pewter]

ofc

[coarse spruce]

and to check it you type if obj:IsA("BasePart") then and press enter

[opal pewter]

done

on line 30 rn

[coarse spruce]

now there, the last line (not at the last line of the script fyi), you assign the collision group

using obj.CollisionGroup = name

where once again, name is the group name

[opal pewter]

i give this obj.CollisionGroup = name on line 30?

[coarse spruce]

yes

but replace name

with the mob group name

[opal pewter]

ok

[coarse spruce]

now show what the script looks like

[opal pewter]

Mob group name is Mobs

so should I write mobs?

[coarse spruce]

nope, it was something else

the same as you did on lines 4-5

that same name

[opal pewter]

just mob?

[coarse spruce]

same you did on lines 4 and 5

[opal pewter]

okay

mob then

works?

[coarse spruce]

you forgor the quotes again

[opal pewter]

oh

its green

good to go?

[coarse spruce]

yes

yes

[opal pewter]

ok

now?

[coarse spruce]

it should work

ideally

[opal pewter]

I give run?

[coarse spruce]

yeah

[opal pewter]

yep wtf

you're the goat bro

IT WORKS

BRO

NAHH

[coarse spruce]

Gg

[opal pewter]

Bolaside, is there anyway I could vouch you for helping me out?

I want you to get promoted ASAP

[coarse spruce]

Nah xd

[opal pewter]

okay so If I run into

[distant mango]

** You are now Level 6! **

[opal pewter]

any problems again

could I ping u?

[coarse spruce]

yeah sure

[opal pewter]

( if you dont mind )

okay bro

thanks a lot

[coarse spruce]

No problem haha

[opal pewter]

could I get you added? I've become a fan of you now

you've explained it splendidly

thank you so much again

[coarse spruce]

Mark this as solved btw so people don't think it's unsolved

[opal pewter]

oh

bet

[coarse spruce]

No problem have a good one xd

[opal pewter]

alright, if I run into any sort of problems I'll make a thread and ping you

okay thanks

have a great day!

[coarse spruce]

Mhm cya

you too

[opal pewter]

@coarse spruce so sorry to disturb you but how'd I turn of player collisions off because it works but I am still colliding with my own mobs

[coarse spruce]

wdym?

[opal pewter]

I am colliding with the mobs

for some reason..

but the mobs arent colliding with each other

okay nevermind

I'll work on this on my own

sorry

[coarse spruce]

Okay

[opal pewter]

@coarse spruce alright so uh, I've tried this and this will def not work I think, I want the players not to collide with the mobs now

[coarse spruce]

that is actually VERY close

change "Player" to "mob"

[opal pewter]

Oh fr?

damm

[opal pewter]

which line

[coarse spruce]

also add player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait() below line 6

[coarse spruce]

8

[opal pewter]

fine?

[coarse spruce]

swap line 6 and line 7

[opal pewter]

with what

swap them with what

should I just delete 6 and 7

[coarse spruce]

no

swap them

make line 6 be line 7 and line 7 be line 6

just select line 6

[opal pewter]

OHH

[coarse spruce]

and press alt + ↓

[opal pewter]

ok

done

now what

[coarse spruce]

should be done

[opal pewter]

W

works
