2d characters on 3d plane which change sprites depending what angle ur viewing them

[humble sonnet]

I'm new to roblox studio and I have been unlucky in finding a way to make this but just a note the sprites will be always looking at u(billboard gui)

[wanton snow]

basically have to check every frame i'm not aware of any exposed events which let you do this

[humble sonnet]

do u know of anyway i can do this like any way

[modest glacier]

just use runservice.renderstepped

[loud hornet]

What about having this:
make the leaf a part and making it super thin, create the texture of the leaf in the whole part, and for the face make a texture and apply it only to the front

Could probably work w a mesh too

Don’t even need to script besides the face player part

I can help i through this if u don’t know how to do it

[humble sonnet]

I'll appreciate it

[humble sonnet]

Just explain this more in detail

[humble sonnet]

I have NO idea what this is

[humble sonnet]

Tiny problem if I apply what u said some of the created part will appear

Is there a way to like delete these parts of the part

[loud hornet]

It’s a way to constantly check something in the client, RunService does this for the client and the server, so you use that every time you want something to be checked frequently

[humble sonnet]

The more u know

[loud hornet]

Can u send a ss if this

[humble sonnet]

I said theoretically

[loud hornet]

Just make the x or z axis like 0.1

[humble sonnet]

So when I get a part

[humble sonnet]

How do I apply the texture?

Sorry for the inconvenience I'm really new

[fresh minnow]

** You are now Level 2! **

[loud hornet]

You gotta get a texture first, but there’s a plug in that does that very easily it’s called easy texture i think? Cant really check rn

Prob look for it or watch a yt tutorial about it

[humble sonnet]

So like I turn my sprites in textures

[loud hornet]

Yes

[humble sonnet]

Ohhh

[loud hornet]

You can probably use a surfaceUI too and add an imagellabel to each surface of the part

[humble sonnet]

I'll try that

One last question

How would I change it depending where ur viewing it

[humble sonnet]

I made these poses for that exact thing

[loud hornet]

Is there leaf gonna be moving? Or just stationary and when you see it from the front you see the face and when you see it from the back you don’t

[humble sonnet]

It will also be moving(the animations are still in the work)

[loud hornet]

It should be fine either way with surfaceGUI or textures

I’d make one on my end and send it to you but idk when I’ll be able to get on my computer

[humble sonnet]

Dw I can wait take ur time

Do I add u or will we continue here?

[loud hornet]

We can continue here in case someone else has the same question

[humble sonnet]

Yeah true thanks for ur time

[loud hornet]

Np

[loud hornet]

@humble sonnet

Not sure if this is what you want, but it's a similar approach I'd say

Just change the images

[humble sonnet]

Thank u alot

[humble sonnet]

I'll test this

[humble sonnet]

@loud hornet okay so basically this is what i want but i want to keep looking at the players camera and change depending where ur viewing it.secondly when i loaded the game it was stuck to the floor is because i remove the back images?

[humble sonnet]

ignore this issue its because it tips over

[loud hornet]

Thats anchoring, real important concept in Roblox studio

For the always looking at the players learn how you can do that through YouTube using CFrames

Can you clarify like give examples with screenshots or just explain further wdym with change depending on where you look at it

[humble sonnet]

theres multiple poses

[fresh minnow]

** You are now Level 3! **

[humble sonnet]

@loud hornet each where ur viwung it

[loud hornet]

Okay, can you show me the poses and from where you’d be looking at it?

[humble sonnet]

@loud hornet for example leafy1 is looking at u like ur infront of her and leafy2 is that ur infrint of her but a little bit to the left and leafy 3 is basically her left and leafy4 is between back and left

[loud hornet]

Ny question is isn’t that achieved already by just moving in the 3D space?

[humble sonnet]

Do you know Gary's mod

[humble sonnet]

There's like these 2d things in it

That keep looking at u

And follow u

So basically I want to achieve that 2d effect but only rotate towards the player in z and x axis and not look at the player upward and it will change sprites depending where ur looking it at .for example the person playing as the leaf is looking forward and the guy next to him will look at the leaf and it will show the left sprite and if he's looking infront of the leaf it will the front leaf sprites @loud hornet

[humble sonnet]

@loud hornet I do NOT know any other way to explain it

[wanton snow]

notice how fixed camera angles. the fixed camera angles decide the sprite angle, and then you just simply select accordingly

[humble sonnet]

Well can u help me build a script for it I'll really appreciate it

Here are sprites for the the other side

[humble sonnet]

I'm broke

[wanton snow]

I'm busy

[humble sonnet]

I specifically said "can u"

I did not command anything

[wanton snow]

I specifically said "busy"

I did not promise anything

[humble sonnet]

Aight have a nice day

[humble sonnet]

@loud hornet it's night for me so I cant respond to any questions thanks for helping

[loud hornet]

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

local part = workspace:WaitForChild("ReferencePart")

local updateInterval = 0.2

while true do
task.wait(updateInterval)

local partCFrame = part.CFrame
local relativePos = partCFrame:PointToObjectSpace(hrp.Position)

local x = relativePos.X
local z = relativePos.Z

local direction

if math.abs(z) > math.abs(x) then
    if z > 0 then
        direction = "Front"
    else
        direction = "Back"
    end
else
    if x > 0 then
        direction = "Right"
    else
        direction = "Left"
    end
end

print(direction)

end

Hope that works for you

[humble sonnet]

THANKKKK UUU

But just on the safe side

Can u tell me what objects I need to add?

So like I don't mess up

@loud hornet ?

[loud hornet]

Add the part of the leaf

That's your reference part

[humble sonnet]

So like the leaf that u gave me right?

[humble sonnet]

Plus the leaf will 8 directional

This includes only 4 poses

@loud hornet these are all the poses

[loud hornet]

Sorry mate, I'm busy, this type of stuff you'll have to figure out on your own

This is scripting help, if you need somoene to do this for you you'll need to make an ad in #💵︱hiring

[humble sonnet]

Alright thanks for ur help greatly appreciate it

[loud hornet]

Good luck

[humble sonnet]

You too
