Is there a way to detect range in Roblox Scripts

[tough briar]

google

[quaint hull]

i googled it several different ways it didnt give me shit

do you know how bad google is nowadays??

[charred steppe]

use magnitude

[quaint hull]

ok

[tough briar]

[kind slate]

Lmfao.

You find 90% of the shit you need by searching "Roblox studio [insert what you need]".

For example "Roblox Studio play sound"

"Roblox Studio calculate distance"

And whatever you wish to do.

[quaint hull]

yeah thats a 100% true isnt it?

[kind slate]

Well yes.

That's why I said 90%. 😄

[quaint hull]

Then how come

every single time ive searched for something

ive found 0% of what i want

[kind slate]

Also, what do you mean by "make npc fall over"?

[quaint hull]

like

[kind slate]

Play an animation to make him fall?

[quaint hull]

no like

you know like if a roblox character were like

crushed under a block or sometihng

and they kinda just like idk

they go stiff and fall over

[kind slate]

You want to crunch a npc?

[quaint hull]

like if you were to fling someone inr 6

[quaint hull]

No

let me try and get an image example

[kind slate]

Ok.

[quaint hull]

or i could make them sit down

how do i make them sit

[quaint hull]

how come when i google it i odnt get shit

you literally have to be extremely specific and use the exact right words or you dont get what you want

[kind slate]

You google wrong stuff.

You gotta remove useless words.

As you can see I didn't say "how do I make a npc sit"

just "make npc sit"

Keep it simple.

[quaint hull]

No

Google is just fucking stupid

it used to work better

[kind slate]

Lol.

[quaint hull]

you didnt use to have to have extremely specific searches

you could even make like tons of typos and it sometimes would still get it

anyway this whole thread was about detecting range not sitting down

[kind slate]

[]

[brazen lily]

** You are now Level 5! **

[kind slate]

Found out how to do that?

[quaint hull]

No

or i think idk

but none of the options worked

[kind slate]

Know how to find the position of a part?

In workspace.

[quaint hull]

and it makes it even more complicated because im trying to make it only happn when a stringvalue is 1

[quaint hull]

No

[kind slate]

part.Position

[quaint hull]

Ok

[kind slate]

Position is a property of all parts in the workspace.

How do you calculate the distance between 2 points?

In a 3d space.

[quaint hull]

function sit() isnt a thing

[kind slate]

I would say it isn't.

[quaint hull]

why is it on the roblox community fourm thng then

[kind slate]

Link, please.

[quaint hull]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-would-i-go-about-in-making-a-npc-sit/2200079

[kind slate]

sit() is a function that you define.

local function nameOfFunction()
--code here
end

nameOfFunction()

[kind slate]

The first part defines a function with a name.

In the function you insert some code you want to run anytime.

[quaint hull]

But how do i get the humanoid

[kind slate]

Then you call the function.

[kind slate]

Really depends on how you want to implement the script.

Maybe the player touches a part?

And from there you can just get it.

[quaint hull]

its not for a player

[kind slate]

For what?

[quaint hull]

im making an NPC sit

??????

[kind slate]

PLace the script in the NPC's humanoid.

And use script.Parent

All moving entities have a "humanoid", ideally.

On Roblox.

[quaint hull]

but

its for a proximityprmpt in an npc

also apparently local isnt a thing anymore /j

[kind slate]

Ok explain to me like I was a 5yrs old what you want to accomplish now.

[kind slate]

The whole situation.

[quaint hull]

i want

[kind slate]

Show me the entire thing.

There is an error somewhere.

[kind slate]

Oh yeah.

[quaint hull]

for clarification i did NOT add the character.humanoid.sit

[kind slate]

You gotta finish declaring Humanoid.

[quaint hull]

oh wait yeah

how do i declare humanoid

[kind slate]

Don't.

Actually.

[quaint hull]

opk

[kind slate]

Just do script.Parent.

And place the script in NPC's humanoid.

Script, not local script.

[quaint hull]

local Humanoid = script.parent ?

[kind slate]

Sure.

[quaint hull]

script does not work at all

[kind slate]

......

@tough briar will be happy to xplain everything that's wrong.

I'm playing Bedwars rn.

[quaint hull]

nah i know someone 10x better than all of you

[kind slate]

Lol.

Mate you got everything wrong in that script.

[quaint hull]

Guess what

[kind slate]

Go to him.

[quaint hull]

I fucking followed your instructions

[kind slate]

So he'll tell you.

[kind slate]

Definitely not.

[quaint hull]

definitely did

you barely even told me to do anything anyway

you literally just said "find this" and "change humanoid to script.parent" and left it at that

[kind slate]

Mate.

You don't know basic Lua...

You need to start from the basics.

[quaint hull]

I have literally asks 503819 FUCKING TIMES IN GENERAL

HOW TO LEARN

[kind slate]

You can't expect to understand how to do things right.

[quaint hull]

AND I AINT GOT JACK SHIT AS AN ANSWER

[kind slate]

There are tutorials. Please follow those.

[quaint hull]

thEY dont help

[kind slate]

DevKing.

[quaint hull]

im listening to someone talk about some obvious bs that i already know how to fucking do for 20 minutes before they get to the code

[kind slate]

Every tried him?

[quaint hull]

2018???

[kind slate]

Still good.

Stick with him.

Basic tutorial.

[quaint hull]

dude

my FUCKING EARS hurt

[kind slate]

You just like to complain.

[quaint hull]

no

you're just a piece of shit

why tell me at one point code is wrong yet another tell me its not

if it was WRONG

TELL ME IN THE FIRST PLACE

[civic cedar]

MAgnitude

[kind slate]

Mate,

You don't know the basics, I already told you.

Go to learn.

Then come back.

[civic cedar]

This channel is done for helping

[kind slate]

Can't do more than that.

[civic cedar]

he asked for help with something

we help him

[kind slate]

I'm not here to tutor.

Look at his code.

[quaint hull]

you

Lied

[civic cedar]

okay that makes my eyes bleed

[kind slate]

About what?

[civic cedar]

but

[quaint hull]

If something is wrong with my code tell me it is wrong when it is wrong

[civic cedar]

can still be fixed

[quaint hull]

NOT fucking 50 MINUTES AFTER

[civic cedar]

when you are calling a function you do not use the function keyword again

just type the function name with the ()

in case it has parameters then you type them inside the brackets

lmk if that works

I'll gtg pretty soon tho

[quaint hull]

that is the code i was given

[kind slate]

Look at his variable declarations.

[quaint hull]

and i was not told it was wrong

[kind slate]

Why do you keep putting () and []

I already told you.

in the last question

To stop doing that

[quaint hull]

that first line was

written ages ago

[kind slate]

You didn't listen.

Then fix it.

[quaint hull]

where di you fucking say that

its already FIXED

[kind slate]

Don't blame me when I already helped you in your last question.

[quaint hull]

WHERE did you fucking say that

[civic cedar]

You use [] in the case that the object name has spaces or not valid characters on it

[kind slate]

Go find it. Last question.

[civic cedar]

if thats not the case you can just use dot

[quaint hull]

No

[kind slate]

Then don't complain about me not helping you......

[quaint hull]

Ok

[kind slate]

I did help you.

Your ears are closed.

[pallid raft]

Magnitude

[quaint hull]

you're not helping now so go away

[civic cedar]

Correct!

[kind slate]

I will.

Good luck.

[quaint hull]

i used magnitude

it not work

[pallid raft]

show script

[quaint hull]

i am trying to make it work when a stringvalue is set to 1

[kind slate]

This has already been said. Explain to him first of all how to find the position of a part in the workspace.

[quaint hull]

i removed it all it suck

[pallid raft]

skill issue gg

[quaint hull]

this is all i have now

idk how to find things in starterp

[brazen lily]

** You are now Level 6! **

[quaint hull]

no im not

[civic cedar]

local proximity = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt
local Character = workspace.Citizen
local Humanoid = script.Parent

function sit()
  Character.Humanoid.Sit = true
end

proximity.Triggered:Connect(sit)```

[quaint hull]

O

it didnt ork

[kind slate]

Where is the script?

[civic cedar]

check your output

[kind slate]

In the explorer.

[civic cedar]

^

[quaint hull]

he doesnt sitting

[kind slate]

What

[quaint hull]

there nothing

[kind slate]

Show the explorer.

[quaint hull]

oh

the explorer

i was lookming athte f9 thing

[civic cedar]

Inside the game hierarchy

Where is the script located

Thats the info we need

And also check the output to see if theres an error

[quaint hull]

heres

[civic cedar]

Might I know why are you declaring an humanoid variable if you are not usiong it

[quaint hull]

i was told to do that

[civic cedar]

and declaring the citizen from the workspace instead of script.Parent

[kind slate]

He wanted to get the humanoid's position.

That's why.

To check some distance or smth.

[civic cedar]

You use Hrp for that

Not humanoid

[quaint hull]

because i thought the script was a child of humanoid only not the model as well

[civic cedar]

script.Parent.Parent

[kind slate]

Also,

The proximity prompt

Needs to be placed properly.

According to the script.

So it would be script.Parent.Parent.ProximityPrompt

If we don't want to move it.

Or we move the script under Citizen, so it becomes a first child.

[civic cedar]

The script is named 'HostageScript' right?

[quaint hull]

no way

hes floor🙏

tahnk you

woah the disrespect someone just climbed on him

[civic cedar]

yippee

[kind slate]

Did he sit?

[quaint hull]

kind of

he is sitting

[kind slate]

He became a ghoul.

[quaint hull]

just he has no animations

[civic cedar]

I only see that his legs dissapeared

[quaint hull]

his legs are there

just in the floor

[civic cedar]

if thats fine for you then yippee

we did it chat

[kind slate]

Are you making a "interceptor" clone?

[quaint hull]

how do i get a sound to play

[kind slate]

Nvm it was not Interceptor the game I'm thinking of.

[quaint hull]

or no

i mean how declare

[quaint hull]

notoriety

[kind slate]

SoundName:Play()

[quaint hull]

oh is it just

[kind slate]

Place the sound in sound service

And reference it properly.

[kind slate]

I was thinking of Entry Point.

[civic cedar]

local <SoundVariableName> = <SoundLocationInsideHierarchy>

[kind slate]

Without the <>.

Ofc.

[civic cedar]

yep

[quaint hull]

how do you get the sound servic

[civic cedar]

game:GetService("SoundService")

[quaint hull]

it doesnt play sond

[kind slate]

To access a service you always use game:GetService, that's called a "method".

And specify which service

Inside of the brackets.

[quaint hull]

is this wrong

[kind slate]

("SoundService")

[quaint hull]

entry point is

[kind slate]

It's alright.

[quaint hull]

more story game do thing

[quaint hull]

it doesnt [play though🙏

[kind slate]

But the declaration is not alright.

[civic cedar]

local <VariableName> = game:GetService("SoundService"):WaitForChild("<SoundName>") <VariableName>:Play()

[quaint hull]

Ok

[civic cedar]

Okay imma play basketball

[quaint hull]

is that all in one thing

[civic cedar]

Cyqa

Gl with ur gam

[civic cedar]

no

[kind slate]

Lol.

Bye.

[quaint hull]

im confused wht is what

[civic cedar]

local <VariableName> = game:GetService("SoundService"):WaitForChild("<SoundName>") 
<VariableName>:Play()```

Cya

[kind slate]

Seems more like a cyka.

[kind slate]

Replace every element as required, in his line of code.

[quaint hull]

i am not

cyka

[kind slate]

?

[kind slate]

Good.

[quaint hull]

but it plays the sound as soon as the game starts

[kind slate]

Go down now.

Show me all the script.

[quaint hull]

nvm i fixed it

[kind slate]

Ok click the sound in the explorer.

[quaint hull]

i put the play outside of the function

[kind slate]

Ok.

[quaint hull]

i just put the play sound in the sit function

[brazen lily]

** You are now Level 6! **

386685678

[kind slate]

Show me the explorer again. The NPC.

[civic cedar]

always check the output

apparently I got some more time

[quaint hull]

here he is

[kind slate]

Yes please check the output.

[kind slate]

Also,

[civic cedar]

[kind slate]

script.Parent.Parent is wrong.

[civic cedar]

check the other one

[quaint hull]

What the hej

[quaint hull]

Ok

[civic cedar]

stop the game

go view tab

go output

now run the game

and send picture of that output

[quaint hull]

nothing on output

wait nvm

idk if this is anytihng

[civic cedar]

any other errors?

more than those?

[quaint hull]

just this idk if they are anything

[civic cedar]

we are still on HostageScript right?

[quaint hull]

yeah

trying to change the face

[civic cedar]

befroe the red text theres the name of the script you see it right?

after*

below the red text

theres the script location

[quaint hull]

oh wit

nvm

the id was wrong

[civic cedar]

ok

[quaint hull]

i swear i copied the correct id but ig i didnt

what is this bruh

[kind slate]

How.

[kind slate]

Take a look at this.

😆

[quaint hull]

how do you get starterplayerscripts

[quaint hull]

ive come to the conclusion magnitude is not what i wanted

[mossy wraith]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[quaint hull]

i want to play a sound and gradually increase a stringvalue if the player is within a certain radius of an npc

but magnitude just tells you how far apart they are

[mossy wraith]

GetPartsinBounds, Or increase the sound based on distiance from magnitude

[kind slate]

Oi.

Isn't there a built-in object for that?

No need to do it manually if I remember right.

Although I am not a Roblox sound expert.

[mossy wraith]

OH WAIT

[kind slate]

?

[mossy wraith]

there is actually let me find it

[kind slate]

If I remember right it's just a tick you can select.

TO make the volume equal in an area or based off the distance from the listener.

[quaint hull]

no the sound isnt playing all the time

did you guys even read what i said
