character falling off of moving parts [SOLVED]

[sinful grove]

does anyone know how i could replicate the kind of system that will keep you on a moving part like in dead rails?

this is the kind of effect i want ^

meanwhile this is what happens

this is my current "stay on moving part" code

character falling off of moving parts

i've searched for a few days now
haven't found a solution

[zealous echo]

are you... copying dead rails?

[sinful grove]

not really copying

just taking a few features

you could say

i'm making my own assets though

[primal steeple]

long shot: custom physics properties with friction / elasticity to 0?

[sinful grove]

this makes me slide around the part

didn't work

it acts like ice

[primal steeple]

Oops, I should have said Friction to 1, elasticity to 0

[sinful grove]

gotcha

[sinful grove]

now nothing affects me

like the train moving doesn't affect me

[primal steeple]

Argh. Well I did say it was a longshot lol

[sinful grove]

i should probably tell how i move it

[sinful grove]

yeah it's alright

part.CFrame=cframe-part.CFrame.RightVector*(s/30)

this is how i'm moving the train

[primal steeple]

hmm... moving the CFrame like that probably won't work.

Since it's not interacting with the physics, the train appears over the player, and Roblox pushes the player away so it's not in the train anymore, repeat ad nauseum

[sinful grove]

do you know how else i could move it?

in a way that would help my case

[primal steeple]

LinearVelocity maybe?

[sinful grove]

well, doesn't the train need to be un-anchored for linearvelocity to work?

[primal steeple]

I'd imagine so

[sinful grove]

sadly won't work for me

[primal steeple]

AlignPosition then?

[sinful grove]

thanks for the suggestion, i'll try it later

[primal steeple]

You can make the limits axis based, so it can have huge force vertically but lower forces laterally, so it'll never like float up and down.

[sinful grove]

alright

[wild nacelle]

By moving the world instead of the train

[sinful grove]

won't work for my game

no

[wild nacelle]

It will

It always will

thats also a convenient way to evade floating point error after traveling for a long distance

[sinful grove]

ok but if teh world moves how will i get off the train

like

the train can be moving and the player off it

[wild nacelle]

Either
A) When the player exits the train freeze the world and begin moving the train (would require custom replication for other players)
B) When the player exits the train move them along with the terrain.

[sinful grove]

well my game doesn't travel that far so floating point won't be a thing

so i'm not sure that this will be a good solution

[tough burrow]

if alleged meters are studs in deadrails, and there's every reason to think so, 80k studs is a very large distance which will make floating point error a thing, it won't be huge but... honestly bruh no one's going to help you make a deadrails clone, just think about it: anyone who can, probably already are making one for themselves, and any of those who don't care enough, are you offering to pay them enough to care?

[sinful grove]

i'm not making the game for profit purposes 😔 i'm just making it because it seemed like a fun idea and i wanted to play it with friends mostly

[tough burrow]

yes and cloning tsb and dress to impress seems like fun too, games aren't free and they don't grow on trees, if you want to play those games with friends mostly maybe consider a private server coz those are a thing

[sinful grove]

i don't get your point since you just came in here rambling about the stuff i already knew
and all i was asking for was possible help with a problem i've encountered

i'm making the game to improve my capabilities in studio

that's the main reason

[tough burrow]

your original post asplained wanting to replicate dead rails train system. the point i was explaining is copying that 1 for 1 isn't going to impress anyone and is probably going to cost you more than it could earn since that work aint free, comparable to cloning tsb and d2i, wishful thinking. you then said you just wanted to play with friends mostly for fun. that's great, so i suggested maybe you can just buy a private server, most popular games offer them. and then you complained about rambing and missing the point and wanting possible help with a problem?

[tough burrow]

i'm not totally sure what kind of help you're expecting but, if you think i can't offer it then who am i to say otherwise? i bid you best of luck good sir

[sinful grove]

i don't want to continue this argument
i understand what you meant
i am just looking for possible help, i am not copying it 1:1, good luck to you too

[tough burrow]

thanks, i was never talking about a 1:1 clone but, eh i see no reason to continue either. authentically just want to help. main thing i wanted to say is that floating point error becomes a thing past 65535 studs. not sure how much that helps but, it will definitely be a thing at that scale
