Building Detection Bug ~Not Solved

[desert violet]

the build doesn't detect the platform under it until a few seconds later and it detects it fine if its under it

[real eagle]

mind if i see the code?

[desert violet]

mb i forgot to put it here

https://pastebin.com/QVwMd49U

[real eagle]

is this the full code?

[desert violet]

its the part with the bug

before it is just snaping to other builds logic

[real eagle]

alright

[real eagle]

w

here

just add the else on top

[desert violet]

its still the same issue

[real eagle]

what you want it to be?

[desert violet]

i shouldn't be able to build above another platform

[real eagle]

send the full code pls

[desert violet]

the problem isn't involved with the rest of the code

Building Detection Bug ~Not Solved

[vagrant quarry]

SetBuildDefualtCFrame Defualt

[vagrant quarry]

it's probably an issue with the rest of your code

one such example is you have some yield before setting attributes if shapeCastDown ~= nil and shapeCastDown.Instance.Parent:GetAttribute("Platform") or shapeCastUp ~= nil and shapeCastUp.Instance.Parent:GetAttribute("Platform") then

[desert violet]

typing too fast

[desert violet]

the top of the code is just if my mouse is on a platform and to snap to it

[vagrant quarry]

add prints

check attributes

etc

[desert violet]

did a quick test and the shapecastdown hits the platform

[vagrant quarry]

debugging is.

[desert violet]

a part that i set to the position of the shapecast position

if shapeCastDown ~= nil and shapeCastDown.Instance.Parent:GetAttribute("Platform") or shapeCastUp ~= nil and shapeCastUp.Instance.Parent:GetAttribute("Platform") then
--cant build since we are hiting a platform
print("hitting platform")
canBuild = false
BuildColor(false)
SetBuildDefaultCFrame()
elseif BuildType == "Foundation" then
--we can build since we are not hitting a platform but we are hitting something
testPart.Position = shapeCastDown.Position <-------
print("hiting ground")
BuildColor(true)
canBuild = true
SetBuildDefaultCFrame()
else

in this part

[vagrant quarry]

i meant this is what debugging is

keep going

[vagrant quarry]

keep proving/disproving facts about your code until you find the fact that you assumed was one thing but was in fact a different unexpected thing.

that's debugging

[desert violet]

also quick question, with creating lots of npcs should i just do that on the server or the client
