what it says on the tin
(this time with semi-readable code!)

pt 2:

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(enem:string, switch:boolean)
    local angle = math.random() * 2 * math.pi
    
    if enem == "scapegoat" then
        if switch == true then

            print("goating it")
            enemy.active.Value = true
            enemy.CFrame = cframe
            enemy.Parent = workspace.entities

serverside entity code if yall need it:


local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local entityEvent = rs.Entities.events.spawn
local furthest = rs.furthestRoom

local main = coroutine.create(function()
    print("you DIDNT forget to resume the coroutine like an idiot didnt happen")
    while task.wait() do
        if furthest.Value >= 13 then
            local active = rs.Entities.scapegoat.active
            rs.dialogue:FireAllClients(1, Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0), "WICKED")
            while task.wait() do
                local clock = math.random(2, 5)
                task.wait(clock)
                print(clock)
                if active.Value ~= true then
                    local d20 = math.random(1, 20) -- roll to kill reese
                    print("rolling 1d20 to spawn")
                    if d20 >= 13 then
                        print("its here. it rolled a " .. d20)
                        active.Value = true
                        entityEvent:FireAllClients("scapegoat", true)
                    else print("looser " .. d20) end
                end
            end
        end
    end
end)

entityEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(p, enemy:string)
    print(enemy)
    if enemy == "scapegoat" then
        local active = rs.Entities.scapegoat.active
        entityEvent:FireAllClients("scapegoat", false)
        active.Value = false
    end

#

give more information, like what is the environment of the game, what you doing and stuff

#

It's probably an error in your math, try checking what are the maths results and check if they should be like that

#

and where exactly is the thing I should be looking for?

#

And it may be because of a floating point error

#

like 1.03839083932367

#

i just spammed and the last two number were 67 lol

#

@cinder delta

AH

#

sorry uh

#

i think i was kinda wrong maybe?? still weird tho

#

goes in a random direction at first

#

its weird

#

anywho its like

#

uhh

#

lemme record something

cinder delta
#

its like a doorslike

#

leaning a bit more into the sjm

#

aspect??

#

randomly genned rooms etc which have a diff problem which i mightve fixed idk i havent checked

#

the enemy is this floating goat head thing

I dont have the niche knowledge of knowing SJM, what does SJM stand for?

cinder delta
plush lynx
#

what is that???

cinder delta
