bug?

[gilded spade]

It seemed that the flashlight collides, although all collision is deactivated

this is the flashlight

[runic dove]

how are you certain the collision is actually disabled? what did you do to check?

[gilded spade]

i watched it inside the models

[runic dove]

during runtime? sure you checked the right one? i'm guessing it's a tool parented to your character

[gilded spade]

atleast the models, they r collide false

some guy helped me doing this so, the scripts idk

[runic dove]

that looks like normal character collision except your camera is messed up a bit

it looks like you have a custom camera

[gilded spade]

is not messed is FP

😭

[runic dove]

unequip the torch and see if it still happens, please do show recording of this

[runic dove]

under exact same circumstances

[gilded spade]

idk how to, this is the entire flashlight, is not a tool in starterpack

[runic dove]

er, except maybe adding a pointlight nearby to see whats going on

[runic dove]

i'm saying it may not be the flashlight

[runic dove]

also that is in replicatedstorage. that is not the flashlight in your character's hands.

[gilded spade]

lighting is the model for the flashlight, he made a script to tp it to the hands i think, for the animation, the handle i think is decorative

lightbone is the ring i supose

[runic dove]

you may be guessing, i am not. if it is not in workspace, then you are checking the wrong one. no lighting appears unless it is in workspace.

check it while the game is running.

[gilded spade]

yes, it is

its the light

when i run the game that model is created

[gilded spade]

and i checked all inside that, collide is false

[runic dove]

so then it is probably something in your camera code.

[runic dove]

i'd suggest try this

[gilded spade]

.

[runic dove]

they are not the same, anything could happen during cloning or maybe you have a script that messes with collisions. it's not worth making any assumptions and just check it directly

[gilded spade]

k

[runic dove]

yeah looks good so that doesnt look like its colliding

tho i'm guessing you took this from the server view? it needs to be checked on the client coz if any collisions happening there, that's what is going to mess with your camera, if anything.

[runic dove]

also should ask, does this happen with any other tools or ONLY the flashlight?

[gilded spade]

thats server side, yes. to see how the flashlight collides with the wall. but in client its the same

[gilded spade]

nothing more, this is the flashlight for a terrro game

so is only the flashlight there

if u want i can send u the scripts

[runic dove]

oh so you don't actually have any other tools to check it against?

[gilded spade]

in the first pic looks like it collides, cuz the invisible flashlight is watching the left

[gilded spade]

no

i can look for a model in models, and put the tool in the starterpack

[runic dove]

yes that does look unusual

[gilded spade]

when i run the game, the invisible flashlight goes to my camera like in that image, and as u can see, is like it collides, so the problem is this model, only this

want to see the scripts?

[runic dove]

i dont see any collisions here

working as expected

[gilded spade]

Thinking deeper, i gonna see if this is anchored, if it is, so maybe is there any form to make it always be like the second image, right?

[runic dove]

i'd suggest asking the person who gave you scripts to do this

[gilded spade]

Alr but is not answering

local User_Input_Service = game:GetService("UserInputService") 
local Run_Service = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local Player_GUI = player.PlayerGui
local Mobile_Button = Player_GUI:WaitForChild("MobileButton").Frame.Flashlight

local Mobile = User_Input_Service.TouchEnabled

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Mouse = player:GetMouse()

local Events = Replicated_Storage.Remotes.Events
local Flashlight_Event = Events.Flashlight_Toggle
local Replicate_Event = Events.Flashlight_Replicate

local Flashlight_Activated = false
local playing = false

local animation = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local animTrack : AnimationTrack = character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
animTrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal("Activate"):Connect(function()
    animTrack:AdjustSpeed(0)
end)
local Flashlight_Debounce = false

local function Toggle_Flashlight()

    if Flashlight_Debounce then return end
    Flashlight_Debounce = true

    Flashlight_Activated = not Flashlight_Activated

    if playing then
        animTrack:AdjustSpeed(1)
        animTrack:Stop()
    else
        animTrack:Play()
    end

    playing = Flashlight_Activated

    Flashlight_Event:FireServer(Flashlight_Activated)

    task.delay(0.6,function()
        Flashlight_Debounce = false
    end)
end



User_Input_Service.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if gameProcessed then return end
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F or input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonR3 then
        Toggle_Flashlight()
    end
end)


Mobile_Button.Activated:Connect(Toggle_Flashlight)

local Frame = 0
Run_Service.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    local Target_Position = Mouse.Hit.Position
    local Right_CFrame : CFrame = character.Head.CFrame * CFrame.new(1.5,0,-1.5)

    if Mobile then
        local Params = RaycastParams.new()
        Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character}
        Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude

        local Ray_Results = workspace:Raycast(character.Head.Position,Camera.CFrame.LookVector*100,Params)
        if not Ray_Results then
            Target_Position = Right_CFrame.Position + Camera.CFrame.LookVector*2
        else
            Target_Position = Ray_Results.Position
        end
    end

    Light_Bone.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Right_CFrame.Position, Target_Position)
    Frame += 1
    if Frame >= 5 then
        Replicate_Event:FireServer(Light_Bone.PrimaryPart.CFrame)
        Frame = 0
    end
end)```

if u want to see it this is the entire code

If not I will have to do that I do later

Anyway thanks

[runic dove]

Run_Service.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    local Target_Position = Mouse.Hit.Position```
the fact that there's a raycast being used in this code suggests it is your code that is 'colliding', not the flashlight.

[gilded spade]

How can i solve it

[runic dove]

Light_Bone.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Right_CFrame.Position, Target_Position) shows usage of the raycast

[runic dove]

so i'm not surprised the light is being deflected like this

the hit position is behind where the light parts are in this collision situation where the light parts are through a wall but your mouse ray is hitting the wall, so it is facing backwards because of the cframe.lookat

[gilded spade]

The flashlight tool wasnt doing this cuz is a part with spotlight, not a raycast or smt like this, right?

[runic dove]

👍 close enough. flashlight code not camera. i thought you meant the camera shaking at first ;p

why does the flashlight need to reposition the light every frame? that's dum

[gilded spade]

Oh cuz i have a script for first person, so o missunderstanded

[runic dove]

whoever helped you make it this way is bad and should feel bad

[gilded spade]

Well i didnt created it, but im happy cuz he can solve many problems in my flashlight, but always there is an error

[runic dove]

they're probably using chatgpt coz that is a really stupid way to do it. just weld a spotlight to the lens, you don't need any code at all

or all this lightbone and lightpart shenanigans

just weld the darn thing

though i guess, you do wanted pointed in your camera's direction

[gilded spade]

Dude

What r u saying

[runic dove]

...so then weld it to the camera lol duh

[gilded spade]

Is the same that he said about the flashlight model i had "the dude that did this is dumb"

This flashlight is a bucle of errors and fixes

https://tenor.com/view/sad-pou-depression-plushie-shower-gif-6984371771018466355

[runic dove]

well thats what u end up with when you take the lazy solution

and just beg people for help over and over and you end up with worse than a copy of a copy of a copy.

some people develop that way, please don't be one of them

chatgpt goes the same way

[gilded spade]

No no like i did it by myself, i tried for hours

But as a non scripter is crazy to do it

[runic dove]

in short, weld the light to the head like a headlamp

or you can weld it to the flashlight

they have slightly different results but both will stop it deflecting and pointing behind you in collision situation

[gilded spade]

Nah i want to study code, i was watching videos, cuz scripting is the hearth of the games and im soloing a horror game as a newbie builder

[zenith kelp]

** You are now Level 8! **

[gilded spade]

K

[runic dove]

or change the lookat to instead point in the camera's direction instead of towards the mouse hit position

3 different solutions, each have their niche pros and cons ;p

[gilded spade]

For doing this i need to change the script then?

[runic dove]

this would require the least amount of change to the code

[gilded spade]

https://tenor.com/view/soul-leaving-leaving-body-tom-escalator-gif-14348486

[runic dove]

using cframe.lookalong + mouse direction vector like currentcamera.lookvector instead of cframe.lookat + mouse hit position

[gilded spade]

Ngl i ever cant make a part anchor with code, but i understand a little little bit, im cooked

THANK YOU

I CHANGED IT

war is fking over

[runic dove]

nah its still a fair bit of a bandaid on top of what is probably already another bandaid because you have an entirely different raycast in there for mobile so it will probably look different. battle is over, but not the war.

[gilded spade]

in mobile is the same, It is supposed, but not for the ring

mobile was working well but withouth ring and they cant see their own body

[runic dove]

still, i'm glad you know enough to take that basic direction and apply it. pretty simple change, but many beginners wouldn't understand how to do that ;p

[gilded spade]

erm

when im mean im new, is for real

but i can understand a little bit codes for watching them

this week i learnt a lot

[runic dove]

then your war is far, far from over.

[gilded spade]

yep, but not with the flashlight

i need to learn a lot a lot a lot

for this game

[runic dove]

a small battle among many more to come.

[gilded spade]

exactly

[runic dove]

specially if you keep this up

[gilded spade]

triggers, events, for the game, and more

[runic dove]

learn to code properly imo but 🤷 you do you http://wiki.roblox.com

[gilded spade]

ye, i watched begginers tutorials

gonna take months to learn properly

so, lets work
