Script that clones a part with specific attributes to the end of a part.

[fringe fiber]

Trying to make a game about the glitching zones of roblox and I need to be able to generate parts infinitely so that the player can walk on them, the player can naturally tp to the coordinates they want but I still need to figure out how to generate parts infinitely. anyone got help?

[carmine axle]

to generate parts infinitly you do just use

local newpart = part:clone()

say you store the original part in replicatedstorage you will need to parent it to the workspace and position it how you see fit

but clone() allows for limitless replication

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Instance#Clone

[fringe fiber]

But yk when you need 2 parts to be perfectly aligned

How do I do that?

[carmine axle]

ahh i get you

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

--// create part
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Size = Vector3.new(6, 1, 6)
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = true
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
part.Parent = workspace

--// define a fixed Y level for the player to walk on
local fixedY = 3 

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    if root then
        --// position the block under the player at the fixed Y level
        local pos = root.Position
        part.Position = Vector3.new(pos.X, fixedY, pos.Z)
    end
end)

no matter where i walk it will "follow" underneath me

of course this means that they cant teleport under the Y level

or above or they will just fall

so if thats a deal breaker you could quickly calculate the Y level based on their position

[fringe fiber]

And so where will I put this script?

And like how do I make it

If you just cant tp the part with the y level then its ok

Like where should I put the script and should I use a local script or a regular

I got it

as a fun little gratitude

Please watch this @carmine axle

[rotund surge]

This would only work client-side, btw

[fringe fiber]

I just put it into StarterPlayer - StarterCharacterScripts

and it worked flawlessly

I'm kinda making this game only for me. not really for public

[rotund surge]

yes it wont replicate to other clients though

[fringe fiber]

wdym

[rotund surge]

if another player joined they wont see any of the parts

[fringe fiber]

I don't want the player to be able to see the part

I want to make an "endless" baseplate and they can "walk" on the baseplate

Im gonna make a quick video for you

[rotund surge]

I mean I guess it fits your purpose but in terms of replication maybe not the best

[fringe fiber]

I think its this video

yup it is

watch the video to see what im talkin about

[rotund surge]

alright, if you are just making a game for you this would work but for later reflection about replication I will show you two images

this is what the client sees

this is what the server sees

[fringe fiber]

I changed the sript

script*

to make on y level -1

and that way it looks like I'm walking on the floor

but for some reason after a while the floor dissapears

I used a special mesh to make it "infinite"

but I really wanna make it infinite

u got anythin for that?

Like I wanna make infinite terrain but idk how.

[rotund surge]

like natural terrain generation?

[fringe fiber]

Idk man

I want a part to be able to "stretch" infinitely

I have a main baseplate that I want to be able to be an infinite size

but idk how without it breaking

[rotund surge]

I mean you could increase the size when the player gets near the edge but it would be obvious to the player that you are doing that

[fringe fiber]

still

but how do I do it to make it seem like terrain generation but with just a regular part

[rotund surge]

could you explain a little deeper for what exactly you are looking for?

[fringe fiber]

I want to make a game about the roblox's glitching zones like the null zone when you go too far out

and it starts glithcing the hell out

[rotund surge]

While the natural generation of terrain is very complicated, you could use math.noise()

[fringe fiber]

explain.

[rotund surge]

you know minecraft?

[fringe fiber]

ye

[rotund surge]

the terrain is generated with a thing called Perlin noise and roblox also has perlin noise which is math.noise()

It basically gives you random values that are kinda in some sort of pattern

the hardest part with an infinite map is storing all that in ram

if you did anything relating to map generation you would have to make something that deletes and stores terrain to a table when the player gets too far

or else it isnt going to be infinite because the players game will crash when they walk too far

[carmine axle]

i dont think he minds lol i think he just wants players to traverse through the space in the experience how they see fit

[rotund surge]

yeah I figured I was more just talking about replication lol

[fringe fiber]

well alr but how do I do this math.noise() stuff?

[carmine axle]

i dont think terrain gen is required for this

[fringe fiber]

Well then how do I make an infinite map without the players game crashing

[carmine axle]

just spawning a really large part under the player should allow them to go wherever they want

[fringe fiber]

cuz I don't want the player to crash

[rotund surge]

I just put it out there because he was talking about "terrain"

[fringe fiber]

so I should just make the part big?

[carmine axle]

then you need a service like heartbeat

spawn a big part under them

clean the part up when no longer used

it would cost very little performance

[fringe fiber]

wait im gonna test something real quick

[carmine axle]

the script i sent just repositions the same part at your feet

so its not hurting performance

[fringe fiber]

I made the part be the max size

and it kinda looks like the player is walking on a big map but not really

imma do a quick vid

[rotund surge]

yeah the texure will be stationary

you could just get rid of the texture

[fringe fiber]

the original map is like 40, 1, 40

one sec

i gotta speed myself up

[carmine axle]

at a certain point the game breaks fr

i have become a triangle

[fringe fiber]

This what i got to do

[carmine axle]

i believe this script does what you want, just make it so players can only change the x and z for teleport

[fringe fiber]

the y level doesnt need to change

for the part

unless the playe will be just stuck in the air

which isnt all that bad

[carmine axle]

exactly so make it so they get X and Z to change only

make Y always 10

and they can teleport anywhere and this script will always have a part under them

[fringe fiber]

it will

[carmine axle]

keep in mind a certain distance you will die or the game breaks

[fringe fiber]

I made a textlabel for the player that the middle coordinate has to be atleast 100 so they don't fall through

here

[halcyon sable]

** You are now Level 10! **

[fringe fiber]

but again I want to be able to make the map almost infinite

[carmine axle]

yep perfect

[carmine axle]

im not sure you can do that 🤔

[fringe fiber]

Like not even with script?

That when a part gets touched the baseplate changes size?

[fringe fiber]

LIke the max is like 2048 or something i think

[carmine axle]

oh you just mean the parts size?

[fringe fiber]

This is what I use to teleport

I use these coordinates without the commas and the thing works

[carmine axle]

why do you want to override the part 2048 size? it doesnt stop you in this instance does it

[fringe fiber]

wdym

Like I cant change the part to 1b studs

the max is like 2028

in x y z

and you cant go over that no matter how hard i try

I can use specialmeshes but after a while they dissapear

and the textures break if I set them to like 1000

And I wanna be able to override the max part size to "infinite"

without the players game crashing of course

[carmine axle]

im not sure why you want that for your project though you could have the part 5,5 and the player can still teleport anywhere

the only way to overide the size is with multiple parts
so you would have to tile the parts layer by layer but players wouldnt even be able to see nor get to those parts anyway

[fringe fiber]

well rip

still it will only be available for me for now

btw

anyway I can make a gif into roblox

Say like this

this is a gif but for here it isnt

but I want to be able to use a gif as an animation

anway i can do that?

this

bro..

https://media.tenor.com/h67fjCMSvGUAAAAM/fire-flames.gif

this

I want to be able to use this in roblox but idk how

you got anything to help me @carmine axle?

[carmine axle]

no idea maybe try #🧊︱modeling channel

[fringe fiber]

well alr
