2 reasons why the bullet may be moving in weird directions: A: the bullet's cancollide was set to "True" rather than "False" B:The bullet goes in a straight line from the torso, so if r15 walk/run animations most of the time tilt the torso from left to right, causing innacuracy

[@mountaingamingstudios]

omg thanks that worked for the cancollide

[@whyman920]

why would he use torso instead of humanoidrootpart

Using the Velocity inside the fireball part will remove the curving effect. I'd suggest using BodyForce to nullify gravity in the fireball part and removing BodyVelocity entirely.

Thank you Alvin for keeping me entertained in these trying times, now that I don't have Boris to be intrigued by, I've got your tutorials, happy quarantine!!

I fiddled around with the last part in the vid and I found that if you subtract the HumanoidRootPart's position from the mouse's position it will go forward. Thanks for the great tutorials, keep up the great work!

[@KencordFGC]

Keegan Cameron You can find tutorials on how to play animations, it should be easy remember there is already a reference to the player character.

[@yuuwa_rblx]

idk if this will fix any problem but make the fireball un-collidable because there is no reason for fire to have collision + set the networkownership to the player so the player has control over how physics is calculated. The reason for having ownership is because when the fireball is added to workspace near the player, the server automatically assigns the player's client to calculate the physics of the un-anchored object. However, as soon as the ball goes far enough the server sets the network owner to server(meaning the server calculates the physics) but when it gets close to another player it gives the ownership to that person. The repeated switching over ownership causes a slight delay, eventually causes notable lag for everyone, so its a good idea to set network owner to original spell caster in this case for better responsiveness of the game :)

[@funnyquarantine2858]

Why not just set it to the server?

Additionally, you can do: bodyVelocity.Velocity = (mousePos - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit * 100 to make your projectile go towards your mouse.

[@zhronic7674]

Where would you put that? Could it be anywhere?

[@hccybercraft5076]

It doesn't work.

[@cipherxol2508]

I find it funny how whenever someone has a question someone else responds with "Learn how to script and do it yourself". Like why else do you think i'm here? Alvin is the only reliable source of scripting information. Plus its not like a beginner can just go on the roblox wiki and just learn it starting there.

[@TyCampaign]

I make projectiles like fireballs and stuff all the time. Based off your script, when it spawns, it’s just randomly facing somewhere. You first need to spawn it in front of your character. Then you get the mouse position with a remote function and make the part face where your mouse points. From that line of code, you “push” the part in the direction it’s facing. Boom a straight shot. The BV.Velocity would be newFireball.Crame.lookVector * 250. Only use this code after you made the part face where the mouse is.

[@paulo5959]

I figured out why this script wasn't working. You need to create a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage called Fireball. Now I just need to figure out how to make them not come out of my back. :) Thanks for all your great tutorials, AlvinBlox. It has been infinitely helpful to me.

[@jacob.overtime]

Did you figure it out yet?

[@hazza_s]

I have an idea for the name of your podcast! I was thinking about something like ‘Bloxing with Alvin’ or ‘Bloxing w/ Alvin’. Hope it sounds good!

ATTENTION, TO FIX THE CURVE, DO THIS: bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) bodyVelocity.Velocity = (character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector*150)

[@crasylightnings3501]

Thanks, needed this help.

[@b0x3s26]

I wanna make a game out of this called "Fireball Frenzy" and I wanna give you tons of credit for it

[@arabian_gangster]

There is a curve to it because when you changed the “lookvector*” to 250 that changed its direction but when you put it at 100 it goes straight.

[@mo_5e241]

isn't the velocity direction "Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector" and the "*250" the velocity's speed? I think the curve might have to do with the maxforce instead - really not sure though

[@coded5639]

@@mo_5e241 It's 100% Maxforce, put all numbers to math.huge to fix.

[@exodraedon2562]

for anyone that wants to slow down there fireball : where it say vector3.new(5000,5000,5000) put the middle one to like 10000 and put the other 2 to whatever u want e.g. (100,10000,100)

[@tjviper7195]

Some common problems and their solutions Fireball Not Moving : Make Sure Its Not Anchored Fireball Wont Spawn : Make Sure The Fireball Part is in ServerStorage Also Make Sure You Typed The Script Properly / Also Make Sure You Have a Part Named (What ever you named your fireball) In Replicated Storage Fireball Spawns In Back : Make Sure You Turn Off CanCollide

Weapon animations would be cool. For example, when I attack with a sword my character will play an animation Edit: Making also animations for the weapons too! For example, spinning the sword PS: Good job Alvin. You've been helping me a lot with Roblox Studio and your scripts always worked for me. Keep it up! :)

i believe you can add that to the function. there are scripts that allow you to play animations that you've created when a button is pressed or something like that hope that helped (even though im a year late lol)

[@thanospallis5632]

I think the reason it tilted sideways like that is because you said on the local script: if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then game.ReplicatedStorage.Fireball:FireServer(mouse.Hit) and then also said on the script newFireball.CFrame = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame so it probably connected the two and that was what it ended up in. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@medinavaughnchristans.2436]

Hello! For some of you who don't want the curly thing that happens when you fire, it's because your BodyMaxForce is not high enough. What I did: BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)

[@riflesgames7211]

Since I can't see anyone saying why the curve is happening I think I might help ( maybe ), basically I think the curve of the fireball happens because you didn't disable the CanCollide of the fireball and it spawns inside the character so the curve may happen just from the collision of the character and the fireball. ( but also I might be wrong idk )

[@TrumanSirRender]

The Fireball curves because the fireball is so large that it starts in front then get push behind you once it gets cloned into the workspace. The humanoid and fireball can't occupy the same space. The Fireball Then is rolls off your back toward the original Lookvector. If you script where the fireball cannot collide with player it should go straight. Or make your fireball smaller.

[@TrumanSirRender]

Sorry, it looks like you have been told like over 50 times. I was just proud of myself that I figured it out that I had to write it out.

Instead of force you could just get the lookvector position with magnitude of your likings then loop the starting position with either a lerp or some vector tweening. The body force can have cool random physics though it appears

a tip for anyone learning lua by watching this video: go try out lua learning on roblox and go through the tutorials to understand terms and the actual language and then watch videos to see if you can understand them and use them as examples for how you can use scripts. Probably a good tutorial to definitely look at is the "Learn all three type of scripts that make a roblox game!" by 123nabilben123 since its one thats super easy to understand as it provides examples.

hi alvinblox, I'm confused why you manually disconnected the "touchConn" function from newFireball, wouldn't the fireball be automatically disconnected from the touchConn function once you call Destroy() on it? I really want to avoid memory leaks if possible, thank you

[@aimslice3444]

so somewhere along the way the act of launching the fireball is controlled by the direction your humanoid root part is facing. So when i shoot the fireball and turn quickly left it veers left when i fire it and continue to run forward it stays a little straighter. so im assuming that the time it takes to know that its controlled by the direction of the humannoid root part isnt as fast as the launch itself, or maybe the time it takes to let the hummanoid rootpart to stop directing the fireballs direction after going off in the direction the humanoid root part is facing needs to be faster and diconnected quicker or something

[@aimslice3444]

sorry to make this relevant i just seen i noticed i never seen a solution for that

[@miniblamerblx3450]

This happens because your body is r15 so it turns the way your HumanoidRootPart turns because it's animated buta r6 body is different because it doesn't animate the same so it would be straight still.
