Issue With Bounce Pad Script

[ebon swallow]

    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        
        humanoid.JumpHeight = 75
        humanoid.Jump = true
        
        animateBounce() -- Animates a bouncy mushroom to do a bounce animation
        
        wait(0.25)
        
        humanoid.JumpHeight = 7.2
    end
end

pad.Touched:Connect(jump)```

I need some help with this code. I'm trying to make a bounce pad, and it works for the most part. My only problem is that if the player tries to jump ONTO the bounce pad, the bounce pad waits until the player hits the ground before applying the "jump = true"

[novel lintel]

that's because of how .Touched operates

[ebon swallow]

Okay, but is there a way to make it work instantly?

[novel lintel]

there're a few, but I'm guessing they'd all be a little more expensive

you could use RunService with :GetTouchingParts()

[ebon swallow]

Okay, what else is there?

[novel lintel]

you could probably mathematically split up the surface area into points and raycast a unit or 2 up

[vestal bluff]

** You are now Level 4! **

[novel lintel]

you don't have to use runservice necessarily, but you'd need to constantly be running a few lines of code at satisfactory rate to get the bounce effect

[ebon swallow]

what would that look like

im REALLY new to coding so im quite lost

[novel lintel]

a while loop probably

[ebon swallow]

I dont know how to create a while loop that checks the touch condition between a player and an object

[vestal bluff]

** You are now Level 1! **

[novel lintel]

while true do
    local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(pad)
    for _, part in ipairs(touchingParts) do
        local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        humanoid.JumpHeight = 75
        humanoid.Jump = true
    end
    task.wait()
end

[ebon swallow]

ill try it

[novel lintel]

I attempted to experiment with it in studio a little bit, touched and :gettouchingparts are essentially the same thing, so that's my bad

the only issue with what I wrote is the latency

so I don't think my method was very effective

[ebon swallow]

it still has that annoying delay

[sterile thicket]

can i see this in action

[ebon swallow]

it seems more instant only because I put an invisible part at the bottom of the red part of the mushroom so it hits a solid surface faster

ill send one video without it

[ebon swallow]

its easier to see the latency issue here

[sterile thicket]

what does the collision box of the mushroom look like

[ebon swallow]

none of it is collidable, but the red part of the mushroom has touching turned on to activate the event

[sterile thicket]

no im saying like

uh

nvm it wouldnt change shit

[ebon swallow]

the bounds of the collision check are exact

[sterile thicket]

got it

[ebon swallow]

you touch red = you jump

[sterile thicket]

yeah uh

runservice

might be good for this

like the other guy said

do like

[ebon swallow]

can you give me a code example?

[sterile thicket]

local runService = game:getService("RunService")
runService.Heartbeat:connect(function()
--your jump shit here
end)

[ebon swallow]

the game lags

[vestal bluff]

** You are now Level 2! **

[ebon swallow]

the game lags very hard

[sterile thicket]

prob because the thing never gets disconnected

[ebon swallow]

this is true

[sterile thicket]

heres how to disconnect something

local runService = game:getService("RunService")
local runConnection
runConnection = runService.Heartbeat:connect(function()
if runConnection then
runConnection:Disconnect()
runConnection = nil
end
--your jump shit here
end)

i think something like that idk

[rose patio]

@ebon swallow just use .touched on the client

[ebon swallow]

what

[rose patio]

Even if it’s “not safe”, that really doesn’t matter since exploiters can just run a script to fly or jump even higher

[rose patio]

So in a client script, just loop through all the bounce pads, and use .touched on that invisible hitbox thing

This negates the latency since it’s on the client + it’s more accurate

[sterile thicket]

i thought of this too but i didnt know if its legit

[rose patio]

.touched is also a lot more optimized than running a heartbeat for every single jump pad

Especially if you’re using that many heartbeats on the server

It’s bound to cause a memory leak

[sterile thicket]

yeah lol

or

or

if you wanted to be fucking different

use collection service

put all bounce pads in a folder

loop through the folder

apply just one script so all do the same thing

BAM

heartbeat and easy disconnect

[rose patio]

That’s what I JUST said

[sterile thicket]

yeah but liek

server

buddy\

[rose patio]

Latency…

[sterile thicket]

im going

to actually touch you

[rose patio]

You get what I’m saying right @ebon swallow

ok

[ebon swallow]

not really

[rose patio]

do you know what .touched is

no way

[ebon swallow]

yeah this is the code rn

[rose patio]

oh

thats not a good way of doing it

[ebon swallow]

I made it a child of the invisible part

[rose patio]

you should be using bodyvelocity

[ebon swallow]

you would think

[rose patio]

thats a horrible way of doing it

[vestal bluff]

** You are now Level 5! **

[ebon swallow]

if you send me a body velocity script ill show you that it doesnt work

[rose patio]

one second

let me script it

[ebon swallow]

localscript in startercharacterscripts

[ebon swallow]

it seems like I need something on top of that

[rose patio]

what

[ebon swallow]

what's a jumpPads folder?

[rose patio]

you need to make one

[sterile thicket]

make a folder in the uh

workspace

and name it jumpPads

[rose patio]

JumpPads

capital j

unless you change it in the script

[ebon swallow]

yes

[rose patio]

also change the name of hitbox

in the script

if the invisible part isnt named Hitbox

bro i really want the scripter role

but im WAYYYY too lazy to apply

[sterile thicket]

dor s1 they will take a fucking simple tween door function

and a touched event

and say

yup

s1

the standards for s2 isnt exactly clear btw

idk why they gatekeep that

[rose patio]

i dont even know the standards for anything

i dont even know what s1 or s2 is

or whatever this NONSENSE is

[sterile thicket]

you make a ticket

then apply for scripter

: D

[rose patio]

too lazy

[sterile thicket]

fair enough

its just a server rank so it doesnt matter much tbh

[rose patio]

yeah

[sterile thicket]

but its cool if youre ever curious about what other people think

some dont really give good feedback though

[ebon swallow]

how do I specify what the hitbox object is

[ebon swallow]

well yes

but what is object

[ebon swallow]

ohhh ok

[sterile thicket]

you gave him something he doesnt understand 💔

@ebon swallow id ask questions about how the script works so you know what youre using

[rose patio]

i shouldve explained it actually

[ebon swallow]

no im locked in

[rose patio]

instead of spoonfeeding it

to him

[ebon swallow]

I think I got it working

[sterile thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/jimmy-butler-jimmy-butler-paper-confused-gif-14478007832172093541

[rose patio]

its funny how that works out

[ebon swallow]

indeed I did

Did you maybe mean childremoved

[sterile thicket]

he probably did

[rose patio]

yeah

i typed it out without any

type definition

[ebon swallow]

seeeee I know what im talking aboout

[rose patio]

because i didnt wanna do :: Model

or :: Folder

in this case

[ebon swallow]

so its just not working

theres not even an error

[sterile thicket]

does sanches know what type annotation is 💔

[ebon swallow]

yes

[rose patio]

send me the children of the jump pad

[rose patio]

💔 i wonder why it isnt working

no way it just deleted

[ebon swallow]

its only one part

[rose patio]

oh

[ebon swallow]

theres no model

should it be a model?

[sterile thicket]

i love you for that

[sterile thicket]

sanchez locked in

[rose patio]

yep

[sterile thicket]

is this over engineered or 💔

[rose patio]

thats bare minimum buddy

[sterile thicket]

i mean yea

[ebon swallow]

so... its smooth, but I still hit the ground

[sterile thicket]

but to me its just a jump pad

[ebon swallow]

can we give it a little more oomph somehow

[rose patio]

overengineering it would be using OOP and custom jumppad classes

[sterile thicket]

jump 100^100

[rose patio]

or if thats not enough

i made it so that

you can add attributes

to the jumppad

[sterile thicket]

tbh that would just be cleaner

[ebon swallow]

what does velocitylifetime change

[rose patio]

how long youre flying

in the air

[rose patio]

yeah

[ebon swallow]

so indirectly just the height

ok

[rose patio]

i mean

if you really want

[ebon swallow]

so more force less lifetime?

[vestal bluff]

** You are now Level 3! **

[rose patio]

i can make it just adjusting the height

instead

and calculate the velocity

from that

[sterile thicket]

let him figure it out 😭

[rose patio]

idk how to explain things bro 💔

its just simple math to calculate it anyway

[sterile thicket]

you can make the ideas so just explain it in those small pieces

[rose patio]

s=d/t

[sterile thicket]

mhm

[ebon swallow]

I know some of these words

[rose patio]

sanches

whoops

sanchez

bro

change the velocity based on s/dt

fuck

s=d/t*

my bad

[sterile thicket]

muah

@rose patio do you know any other game engines 💔

[rose patio]

absolutely not

[ebon swallow]

real

[rose patio]

ive wasted half my lifespan on roblox

[sterile thicket]

fuck

[ebon swallow]

roblox is cheeks

[rose patio]

i know python though

[sterile thicket]

ive been wanting to use godot

[rose patio]

and html js and whatnot

[sterile thicket]

ah

W

[rose patio]

all the basic shit

python is really really similar to lua

[rose patio]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1074959791589433397/1351871075339997226/memeee.gif

[sterile thicket]

python similar to gdscript 🤑

[sterile thicket]

i mean lowkey yeah

cant complain though

roblox does a lot of the heavylifting and hand holding for you

[ebon swallow]

@rose patio is there a way I can make a velocity barrier before the ground that prevents the player from going too far down

[rose patio]

what

[ebon swallow]

like, the closer the player gets to the floor, the more velocity is applied to the player or something

so if the player is just before the floor, they get infinity velocity applied or something so they dont hit the ground

I just really dont want the player hitting the floor

[ebon swallow]

does that make any sense

[rose patio]

nope

[ebon swallow]

this is the important part

[sterile thicket]

maybe like

[ebon swallow]

@rose patio is it possible

[sterile thicket]

if y velocity is at a certain point

make the other time higher

to compenstate for how fast theplayer is going

actually scrap that

dont listen to that

[ebon swallow]

is there a way to cancel velocity

[sterile thicket]

uhh yes i guess

[ebon swallow]

thatd work

just cancel before applying the new velocity

[sterile thicket]

yea

[rose patio]

im so confused

[sterile thicket]

wait no

dude idk

😭

[ebon swallow]

I want to cancel the players velocity when they first touch the invisible part

that way its impossible to hit the ground

[sterile thicket]

this to me makes no sense

[ebon swallow]

its just so they stop falling before they get pushed up

I dont want them to hit the ground

that has to make sense

[rose patio]

oh

[sterile thicket]

heh yeah bub i got a solution

[rose patio]

add to the jump function
HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.zero

[sterile thicket]

nevermind its the most dumbest shit

[sterile thicket]

yeah this is way smarter

[rose patio]

oh shoot

i forgot

to add

a debounce

whatevr

[ebon swallow]

OH MY GOD IT WORKS

WOOOO

[ebon swallow]

we forgot about the animation

[rose patio]

bro...

that has nothing to do with the bodyvelocity

[ebon swallow]

oh wait

I can just re-enable the other script

let me try it

[rose patio]

what was the point of me writing allat then 💔

[sterile thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-me-when-looking-stare-are-you-serious-gif-11132620111287096186

[ebon swallow]

I can just take the jump part out of the old script

[rose patio]

or

you can just

transfer the animation part

into the client

becasue thats better

[ebon swallow]

but why wouldnt I want the bounces to be visible to everyone

[rose patio]

animations are one of the only things that roblox lets the client show the server

like

the default roblox animate script

is all client sided

as an example
