#

#

im just tryna get the wind and my orb to enable at the same time

#

and only be enabled = false after like 0.5 seconds then emit my expulsion and projectile

dawn merlin im just tryna get the wind and my orb to enable at the same time

Just activate them at the same time, the only real reason I can see there being a reasonable delay is you calling functions that have yields in them

vapid silo Just activate them at the same time, the only real reason I can see there being ...

i dont even know how to

#

cframe them

vapid silo Jul 4, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

dawn merlin cframe them

?, are you not using a constraint in the player character?

i am

i meam

i didnt eben code tjis

sum dude was meant to

like im having trouble

vapid silo Jul 4, 2025, 8:09 PM

#

This script just seems way too overly complicated for what it achieves to be frank

#

I am also going to guess that the clonePlayVFX just gets fired on input, and that that's basically the rest of the code

literally bro

vapid silo Jul 4, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

Well, anyways, seems to be an attribute issue, one seems to just have a delay

dawn merlin Jul 4, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

im just gona rewrite it

#

in pseudo code

#

and hopefully someone can translate

vapid silo Jul 4, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

dawn merlin in pseudo code

Or just write it in luau

dawn merlin Jul 4, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

vapid silo Or just write it in luau

no bc im not good

vapid silo Jul 4, 2025, 8:14 PM

#

Luau isn't all that different from proper psuedo

dawn merlin Jul 4, 2025, 8:14 PM

#

oh uh

#

i have an idea

#

i need to move my attachments to one place

#

since i want them to be at the same spot anywyas

#

then just use emit delays

vapid silo Jul 4, 2025, 8:16 PM

#

dawn merlin i need to move my attachments to one place

then just don't have them parented to a part that moves...

dawn merlin Jul 4, 2025, 8:16 PM

#

None of my parts move

vapid silo Jul 4, 2025, 8:16 PM

#

the player is most definitely moving

dawn merlin Jul 4, 2025, 8:16 PM

#

its welded

#

because an animation plays

#

animation is scuffed rn and needs events

vapid silo Jul 4, 2025, 8:17 PM

#

So, the player remains stationary on the ground?

dawn merlin Jul 4, 2025, 8:17 PM

#

good bye

vapid silo Jul 4, 2025, 8:17 PM

Yikes...
