DBD generator approach stuff

[tawny mason]

So i'm making like a dbd game and whatever.

Should i just have one prompt, and when they get on generator it checks which side is closest to player, and check if theres a wall.

Or should i have like 4 set positions that it tps the player to "work", and just check if the set position is in a wall and remove it.

and is it even possible to check which face of the object is closest

Just a suggestion, have 4 highlighted circles and a prompt on whatever side they're standing on, then make them "work" on the closest circle they're on

and yupp it's possible

-- indicate your part & point
local part = workspace.Part
local point = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)

-- then put ur point into a space rel to the part
local relative = part.CFrame:PointToObjectSpace(point)

-- then adjust the rel position by the part size
local normalized = relative / (part.Size / 2)

-- find the axis that has the most magnitude in it
local absX, absY, absZ = math.abs(normalized.X), math.abs(normalized.Y), math.abs(normalized.Z)

-- now set a variable for the so called "closest face or whatever"
local findClosestFace

if absX > absY and absX > absZ then
  findClosestFace = normalizex.X > 0 and Enum.NormalId.Right or Enum.NormalId.Left
elseif absY > absZ then
  findClosestFace = normalized.Y > 0 and Enum.NormalId.Top or Enum.NormalId.Bottom
else
  findClosestFace = normalized.Z > 0 and Enum.NormalId.Back or Enum.NormalId.Front
end

print(findClosestFace.Name)

also

directory for the script depends

if you want all the players to see or interact with your gen

like for placing objects, damage detection, or any effects

put it into

ServerScript Service > FaceCheckScript ( Script )

or can also be

Workspace > Part > FaceCheck script ( Script )

But if you want it to be entirely visual for a player

like UI indicators or like any local effects

then

StarterPlayer > StarterPLayerScripts > FaceCheckScript ( Local )

Oh thank you so much, also what do u mean by 4 highlighted circles? just 4 circle parts?

[charred trout]

I was thinking more of like a beam

lemme show u a ref

[tawny mason]

Oh

[charred trout]

Just to show indication on where the player is going to be

At least that way they don't just get "Teleported" which may cause like deaths

At least that way they know where they're going to be teleported to

Just a recommendation though, since I've died or maybe lost things due to lack of indicators in some roblox games

[tawny mason]

ill keep that in mind
