Dash scripting pain

[edgy tulip]

Been having a pain with making a celeste style dash for my 2d platformer

It only goes right heres the code

coding in arial

[edgy tulip]

in what?

[cobalt flame]

What's that colors

Coding in old egypt Manuscript

[edgy tulip]

Oh.

Uhhh

Had to go to mobile notes cuz pc kinda stupid

[gentle forum]

Debug lik add some prints

[rapid timber]

Unsure if this is like pseudo code

But its dir.Magnitude

So if dir.Magnitude == 0 then set dir to vector3.new(1,0,0)

[storm spear]

kinda unrelated but the default dash should probably be up or where your character is facing cus rn its always right which is kinda weird if you're facing left

[edgy tulip]

Yeah it just i kinda wanna make a 8 direction dash like

Up right left down ect

So i kinda have 0 how to make a wrap around (btw this is paired with a 2d script

Imma show u

local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

repeat
wait()
until Player.Character

local Player = Player.Character
local HumanoidRootPart = Player.HumanoidRootPart

local Positioner = Instance.new("BodyPosition", HumanoidRootPart)
Positioner.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0, 0, math.huge)
Positioner.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0,HumanoidRootPart.Position.Z)

Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CameraSubject = Player.HumanoidRootPart

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.X, HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Y, HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Z + 30)
Camera.FieldOfView = 50
end)

The 2d camera makes the player move left and right

But the player can still move in other directions but i kinda cant fix that

[rapid timber]

Edit that and put three ``` in front and end please

[edgy tulip]

But it limited

?

[rapid timber]

This will put it in a code structure

[edgy tulip]

Oh ok

[rapid timber]

local test = hi

You can add a lua at the end of the first three `

To make it colored

local someVariable = "hi" ```

[edgy tulip]

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

repeat
wait()
until Player.Character

local Player = Player.Character
local HumanoidRootPart = Player.HumanoidRootPart

local Positioner = Instance.new("BodyPosition", HumanoidRootPart)
Positioner.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0, 0, math.huge)
Positioner.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0,HumanoidRootPart.Position.Z)

Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CameraSubject = Player.HumanoidRootPart

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
    Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.X, HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Y, HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Z + 30)
    Camera.FieldOfView = 50
end) ```

Thats the camera

And the script is to large to put into a single message so gimma asec

[rapid timber]

Please dont LOL

Don't need your whole game in a message, just need where the issue is. Try and pin point somewhere, but again I think your magnitude is wrong if thats what the actual code looks like

[edgy tulip]

Ok

[rapid timber]

It would make sense because that one makes it default right

[edgy tulip]

Hmmm

K lemme check

    if dir.Magnitude == 0 then
        dir = Vector3.new(1, 0, 0) -- right
    end```

Just checking is this have any problems.

    if UIS.TouchEnabled then
        local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
        local joystick = playerGui:FindFirstChild("Joystick") -- replace with your joystick GUI
        if joystick then
            local thumb = joystick:FindFirstChild("Thumb")
            local outer = joystick:FindFirstChild("Outer")
            if thumb and outer then
                local offsetX = thumb.Position.X.Offset - outer.Position.X.Offset
                local offsetY = thumb.Position.Y.Offset - outer.Position.Y.Offset
                local mag = math.sqrt(offsetX*offsetX + offsetY*offsetY)
                if mag > 0 then
                    dir = Vector3.new(offsetX/mag, offsetY/mag, 0)
                end
            end
        end
    end

    -- Default direction if no input
    if dir.Magnitude == 0 then
        dir = Vector3.new(1, 0, 0) -- right
    end

    return dir.Unit
end

And thats meant to make the dash go in the direction of the mobile joystick

[rapid timber]

Ah seems like you have the magnitude correct in the code

[edgy tulip]

K thank goodness

[rapid timber]

Does this work with keyboard?

[edgy tulip]

Yeah lemme get the keyboard part

[rapid timber]

Print your dir right before you return and see what it says, if its whats its suppose to be, then its not that causing issues

[edgy tulip]

    if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) then dir = dir + Vector3.new(0, 1, 0) end
    if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.S) then dir = dir + Vector3.new(0, -1, 0) end
    if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) then dir = dir + Vector3.new(-1, 0, 0) end
    if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) then dir = dir + Vector3.new(1, 0, 0) end

Oh!

Thx!

I gtg now but i will try that later!
