soccer system help with ball possession

[hard orchid]

hello im remaking my soccer game from scratch and i was looking for the best way to attach the ball to the player when they gain possession. i previously used motor6ds, welding the ball to the players hrp and parenting it to the character, which allowed for easy animating but im not sure if its the best solution. i was wondering if anyone has a better idea on how i could do this

In my opinion, what you did previously might be a good idea, but just making sure its handled in a way that makes it easy to disconnect / connect it to one another. I have a question:

Since you did this previously, Was it smooth / reactive or not?

Cause i have never done any soccer games but i do know the gist of how to make one, but not sure aswell about the answers here! I think there might be S2's who have a good grasp at these types of stuff, just sharing my opinion on it

[hard orchid]

yeah, it was easy to disconnect since all you had to do was check if their was a motor6d in the right place and then destroy it. it was pretty smooth but there was a bit of glitching with the ball clipping into walls or from other collision

[mossy fulcrum]

Looking at other games like Azure Latch or Blue Lock : Rivals, they do have these problems aswell (If i remember correctly) BUT i think they used raycasting to check if the ball was clipping into a wall then when shot or done an action that gives an impulse / force into the ball it shoots from behind the character preventing softlocking

[hard orchid]

alright thank you

also would you recommend that i use a vector force

for the ball

I don't know i've never done anything that involves gravity or ball physics sadly enough

[hard orchid]

me neither im not very experienced

well ty

i appreciate it

Np!

if u want smth advance

u do like

so first when a person touches the ball

detect it

i suggest u to use getpartboundinradius for the detection

and then if there's a person touching it

transfer network ownership by doing ball:SetNetworkOwner(player) or something

what this does is that ur trusting the player to do the gravity and physic and stuff, so basically it'll be so smooth for the person who get the ball

and now u can just give small velocity to the ball on where the player rootpart velocity unit is going

[tiny crow]

u need an anticheat if ur using this tho, it's easy

u just need to check if the ball go too fast by checking the velocity of the magnitude velocity of the ball or it's not touching the ground for a long time

[hard orchid]

Yeah i previously uses get parts in radius

Used

Btw network ownership is automatically given to the player from using a motor6d or atleast that what happened to.me

[tiny crow]

no motor6d

just pure velocity like those game if u want manual posession

if no

just keep it or something

[hard orchid]

even in the walking anim, the ball is kicked and rolls a specific distance

manually making that for all 8 of my directional walk anims

js for it to look worse

[tiny crow]

what

get the direction of the rootpart velocity

and just give velocity on where the direction is

[hard orchid]

when a player touches the ball, the ball needs to be attached to them

issue is that

when for example walking

theres an anim

of them kicking the ball and it rolling

if i use velocity i cant make the ball look nearly as good

[tiny crow]

then just use animation

or make a fake leg or something

OR

use IKcontrol in roblox

and manually move the leg to touch the ball

to know the leg direction or smth u just do easy subtraction at the ball distance to the feet and the ball radius
