looks nicee

would you mind sharing the knockback mechanic ? i cant replicate it that smooth

[inland field]

uh

yeah actually

im also relatively new to this too

and took a lot of nagging on other developers to get a good way

[inland field]

Heres what you basically need to do

this is all in a module btw

lol i just wrote entire essay on ragdoll method

im so stupid

uh what you wanna do

[inland field]

is check if the player that the knockback is being applied to, is a player. If they are then fire to them to do velocity on client side. If its an npc and a player is applying it, then set network ownership of the humanoidroot part of the NPC to the player, then fire to the player (attacker) to apply it to the NPC. And as a failsafe, after firing to the player to do it, still do it on the server. It basically means if something happens or the player is too laggy, it will just run normally on the server but not so smooth

but if everything is fine and the player does apply it, it takes priority kinda, so no need to worry about cancelling or anything

heres an old but buggy video of it

basically the green outline means the player is controlling it

its a but buggy in the video, but you can see what a bit of experimenting does like in the video this post is originally attached to

[shy skiff]

so you do it twice, or just on the server if player is too laggy ?

[shy skiff]

no no dont be

wait

you're not twin

[shy skiff]

same type of thing as you did, some abilities

but i was never able to make it look smooth and delay free like you did, thats why I asked for your logic lol

i assume its bc of network ownership, but what do you use to apply vel to the HRP ?

[inland field]

twice, runs on server and client same time, but because its usually faster on the client, theres no delay

instead of running just once on the server, which does have delay

[inland field]

module i made that takes in these parameters (ignore lastHit)

and it adds LINEAR velocity

you get the idea

minus some other larger snippets for replication above all of this

[shy skiff]

ohhh yeah, and it doesnt duplicate

[shy skiff]

yeah i suppose

thanks a lot

you're explaing xell

well

i'm gonna try to replicate that

[inland field]

yeah because you are setting the velocity of a part, not adding velocity onto it. So even if it runs on client, and server sets it, it sets it to the same thing

[inland field]

do server side first

then when its bug free and finished

move on to client rep

[shy skiff]

OH yeah sorry that was a stupid question

[shy skiff]

alright

i'll take your advice thanks a lot
