I Spent 3 Months Making A Tower Defense Game | Vault TD Devlog #1

[@PHENIX4_4]

i've been watching these videos on repeat for the last week while working on my own tower defense game and was so sad when i discovered it was canceled

[@LightningBurger]

what happened

[@PHENIX4_4]

@@LightningBurger idk something

[@LightningBurger]

@@PHENIX4_4 how did you know it was cancelled then

[@PHENIX4_4]

[@Zonix_Official]

Ooh, this is very interesting! Great job on making a tower defense game, I’ve attempted to make one in the past but the AI is what absolutely destroys me! I’m glad you’ve had fun with this so far and I hope this will release as a full game! 🙏

Your tactics have really got me thinking about server performance with my own tower defense project! Do you think it would be okay if I modified your way of doing it to fit my needs?

[@KdudeDev]

Go ahead! Programming is mostly just copying code anyway lol.

[@DevEgg]

same! it's sad he stopped uploading 😔😔

[@sweaty-boi9k]

Can u make a tutorial + if your gonna cancel it pls send me codes

[@Woscar-]

Great video! I was just wondering, how did you animate the units/enemies without humanoids?

[@KdudeDev]

You can use an AnimationController, same usage but instead of Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation() you do AnimationController.Animator:LoadAnimation()

[@Woscar-]

@@KdudeDev thanks so much!

[@Woscar-]

@@KdudeDevhey I know the project got cancelled, but I still have 1 question. Do having humanoids in models just lag in general, or only when you use them?

[@Plxyer04]

@@Woscar- Yes having humanoids do cause lag in general

Thanks!

[@oOFxxBacon]

Can you make a Tutorial how to make one :)

[@Spinztic14]

Hey Kdude! I am looking to make my own tower defense game but the only thing I am lacking is scripting knowledge. Do you have any suggestions on learning to code?

[@KdudeDev]

I'd recommend youtube tutorials, lots of googling, and starting off with some basic games. A TD game can be a bit more advanced, to learn coding its nice to start off making easy games you don't really care about just so you can learn, things like tycoons and simulators.

[@BasedOnBrian]

@@KdudeDevhey how do u make the enemies turn?

[@ThatOneRobloxDev]

9:31 The lowest speed task.wait can do is a 60th of a second, which is 0.0176 rec. ;)

[@KdudeDev]

I know, but for those who know nothing about coding I just set it to a really low number. Has more effect than just leaving it blank.

[@ThatOneRobloxDev]

​@@KdudeDev You are just telling everyone that doesn't know coding that you can go as low as you want with the wait() function of the task module. :/

[@alonepoptart24_6]

you could just calculate how long the bullet would take to hit the enemy and wait that length

[@chaosdragon3956]

i am starting to learn code or my td game but how do you make your own towers?

[@jstacoolguy]

I LOVE BLOONS TD 6 IT FILLED MY TD CHILDHOOD, ITS THE FORST TD GAME I PLAYED

[@lukazfox_lol]

ok, i gotta need a tutorial with entering the code other channels have the tutorial with thw code panel on but its outdated and doesnt work

[@monoqqr]

Hey mate, watching this made me cry. HOW DID I NOT THOUGHT OF USING LENGTHCHANGED? I currently have an entity system similar to yours and I seemed to be having a problem with *projectiles*, thanks i guess.

[@agustinamercante1726]

please make a tutorial that teaches how to create a structure that summons things, for example, a military base that spawns cars at the beginning of your base

[@andreicn0]

cars are just like enemies but they start from the last waypoint and arrive at the first one. To damage you must build a function that checks the magnitude of the enemies and the front of the car (basically get enemy's distance from the car). However to save performance you must check the magnitude only from enemies that go to a similar waypoint as the car. If the distance between car's front and the enemy is low enough you can invoke a function that damages the enemy and destroys the car. this is a bit late but I hope it makes sense. THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR TOWER DEFENSE SETUP AS KDUDE

[@ZephrusZ]

how do u get the enemy what if there's multiple enemies with the same name

[@MalikhGaming]

damn this good i always want make tower defense but i never got experiences of making it

Yo bro you have any tips to learn client side rendering? Or howd you learn it?

Bro can you sell me some lessons on how to make my own tds game?I wanna make even a basic tds game but idk how.

[@howlizer]

I'll play it And I have a question How did you part with enemy can move? I dunno how to do

[@noobikgame7066]

how to make impact animation for units

[@goldengamer9171]

did u tween enemy humanoidrootpart on client or just the server? also how did you make enemy rotate to the node

[@KdudeDev]

Just on the client. On the server its just a Heartbeat which sets the position manually. For rotation, I'm just setting the CFrame of the enemy to the node once it reaches it, that way it gets rotated since CFrame is Position and Rotation.

[@goldengamer9171]

oh alright but how did u rotate enemy with cframe like did u use CFrame.Angles() or enemy.PrimaryPart.CFrame = node.CFrame? and what do you send to the client if your tweening it? And how did you position enemy in the server?

[@KdudeDev]

@@goldengamer9171 On the server, enemies are just info in a table. So I set the CFrame of the table to the node CFrame, basically your second method, but not setting a part CFrame. I send the client all the enemy tables in a more condensed form then tween the clients enemy model to the CFrame in the table.

[@goldengamer9171]

also are you using toworldspace() or lookvector to move enemy forward if you are then are you using it in the server that is inside a table and then sends that to the client?

[@KdudeDev]

@@goldengamer9171 Yes, I use ToWorldSpace to set the CFrame to go forward. Its used on the Server. All calculations are on the Server, and the client is just for visuals.

[@Cobraakaishorts]

do you think i can get this? like uncopylocked

[@darkbard7]

lol who would give 3 months of work for free

[@Mackuin]

Congrats is cool the game

[@greasysteak6785]

You should add more recoil to the towers, i think it'd look better

[@KdudeDev]

Visuals are just basic stuff we're going to be replacing later, so it'll probably be changed.

The Game

[@ScriptifyLua]

How did you animate the troops/enemies if they aren’t humanoids?

[@KdudeDev]

Create an AnimationController with an Animator in it, put it inside your character, then when you load the animation use AnimationController.Animator:LoadAnimation()

[@ScriptifyLua]

@@KdudeDev wait so would this work without a humanoid and what is a animationctroller?

[@KdudeDev]

@@ScriptifyLua Yes it would. Google "Roblox AnimationController"

[@ScriptifyLua]

@@KdudeDev alright thank you so much, last question I promise would you use an int/number/string value for the health/speed/different values?

[@smierdziel8776]

hi. How did you make your zombie movement like this? i know you used heartbeat. But how? Tween?

[@KdudeDev]

On the server I use a heartbeat, then I send all the info to the client, which then smoothly tweens. Enemies don't exist as models on the server, they're just info in a table.

[@smierdziel8776]

@@KdudeDev wow... but how do zombie know in which direction they should go? And how does zombie know that he have to go to another waypoint?

[@KdudeDev]

@@smierdziel8776 It basically just follows the path of nodes, it spawns at node 1, and goes to node 2, then 3, etc. Until it hits the final node. If the enemies speed is negative then we just go backwards.

[@smierdziel8776]

@@KdudeDev i think i still dont understand... so we are using heartbeat to move zombie...but how do we move him? you cant just do position = Vector3.new(0.001,0,0) becouse he will go only in one direction...im so confused

[@KdudeDev]

@@smierdziel8776 I use CFrame:ToWorldSpace() to move the enemy based on his direction, so he always moves forward no matter what direction he's facing.

[@KdudeDev]

I may make one in the future, but I'm going to finish this game before I do any tutorials. Basic info is it really depends on what you're rendering, but usually your info on the server is stored in a table, sent to the client through a remote, and rendered in a local script.
