How do i make a sort of client-sided hallucination?

[strange cypress]

How do i make this sort of mechanic where it looks like on the client, a player is holding an item that isnt actually there? I dont wanna mess this up as i cant really test it in 2 player, but basically imagine this scenario:

A player is hallucinating,
Another player has a knife

The hallucinating player looks at them and sees that they dont have a knife but a gun or any other object in my game.

Is this possible? OR do you guys have any other ideas for a drawback for when a player hasnt done a task in a while

[molten fox]

yes

just make it so that the client puts a knife in the hallucinating players inventory

the client not server

oh wait

i read it wrong

[molten fox]

basically you need to destroy that players knife on the hallucinating's player client

[strange cypress]

Yes, but in the cloning part, If a Tool was cloned via. Client to another person wouldnt that bug alot? As for exmaple:

A tool in the client was cloned onto another player

That player equips another tool, Wouldnt that bug it out?

[molten fox]

what cloning part

[viscid compass]

** You are now Level 6! **

[thin tide]

try it and see

[strange cypress]

I cannot try as my computer for some reason cannot handle 2 player testing

[thin tide]

how much ram do you have

[thin tide]

you have enough, review taskmanager ;o

maybe you have a million tabs open

[molten fox]

ye

[strange cypress]

I actually dont

[molten fox]

or maybe mcaffe

[molten fox]

ok

[molten fox]

go to task view

uh

no

[strange cypress]

The only problem is that, it sure runs but the objects gets.. distorted

[molten fox]

i mean

uh

[thin tide]

start one client at a time

[molten fox]

ur gpu might be fried

maybe

but i doubt

[strange cypress]

just starting up the server is uh

weird 😭

[molten fox]

uh

u might have gpu issues

[strange cypress]

The display gets glitchy aswell

i had t olike

IMMEDIETELY close roblox studio

[thin tide]

potato pc

[molten fox]

what gpu u got?

[molten fox]

2014 gpu😭

[strange cypress]

yup..

[molten fox]

thats why u cant playtest

u can i think

uh

[thin tide]

turn graphics level to 0

[strange cypress]

😭

[molten fox]

UR GONNA FRY IT STOP

might as well be a fire hazard

[thin tide]

[molten fox]

alt

[molten fox]

no fix

[strange cypress]

idk

[molten fox]

gpu is fried

[strange cypress]

i dont think theres any fix

its GAME OVER!

[molten fox]

ye

[near arrow]

go to bios and turn on xmpp

[molten fox]

get a new gpu

[strange cypress]

ddude

i jsut wanna know

how to make a hallucination

[near arrow]

just do it on client

[strange cypress]

ill probably test this on my laptop tomorrow cause it can actually support 2 player testing

[molten fox]

dont do it

[near arrow]

who needs to get hallucation

[molten fox]

destory the kinfe on the halucinating client

[strange cypress]

I did mention Client, i just wanna know the best way to do it

[strange cypress]

So basically, i just use a runservice to destroy any tools they have?

[molten fox]

no

[strange cypress]

Cause knife was just a brief example of a tool

[molten fox]

just destory it

with a remote evnt

[near arrow]

you wanna choose random player to hallucinate?

[molten fox]

server to client

[strange cypress]

Im doing this as a drawback for my games system

Basically, If your mood gets too low you start hallucinating objects on players hand, ex; knife, revolver, basically any tools with the HandleRequired property set to true

Do you have any ideas how to do this without bugging out live-test or do you have any other ideas for a draw back?

As my plan is to basically destroy one sense is "observation"

[near arrow]

loop through workspace:GetDesecendants and check if its tool and if it has property handlerequired set to true

[molten fox]

no

better is go trough players and if they have a tool in their inventory or their character destory jt

[near arrow]

in Players there arent characters

only in workspace

[molten fox]

yes

u can get the players character

with player.Character

[strange cypress]

Again, If theres not really much of a solution if you guys have any ideas for other drawbacks please tell me

[near arrow]

oh yea you can do that too

[molten fox]

and YOU SHOULD DO IT

its the best way

[strange cypress]

I do know about that and know how to make it but the problem is, If theres any other solutions as mine might be buggy cause im blindly scripting this

[strange cypress]

bump!

[thin tide]

all code is written blind lol

that's why you start with a prototype

prove a concept works then refactor into something useful in production

[strange cypress]

no like, as in blindly doing it without proper 2 player testing

[thin tide]

use an npc

[strange cypress]

playtesters has been getting annoyed on HOW much i restart my games server due to a bug

💔

[thin tide]

that's normal, they should get used to it

[strange cypress]

Pretty sure they dont have animations for uhhh tool holding?

Or am i tripping?

[thin tide]

duplicate the animate.lua script and make it a server script

[strange cypress]

Do i just have to clone the default Animate local script on them

fair nuff

[thin tide]

from what i can tell it is a purely passive animation player

[thin tide]

since really what you're trying to do is desync the server and client for an effect. this is very common.

main thing you need to do is just to play with it and find out how it works

e.g give the npc a tool, change the tool on the client, then give the npc a new tool

and see what happens

whatever happens there just build code around it
