Hey y'all, if you're having trouble with generating rooms and it tends to bug out having weird rotations, make sure to make all the primary parts of every room ( except the starting room ) face the direction of the empty waypoint direction ( starting room just faces the direction of the waypoint )

[@SlateAlloy]

@c00lbaconn what controls the empty spaces is the courotine.wrap(branchout) function, if all of the preset rooms are in the right order it should work as intended because it still generates them all the exact same way, aligning to the orientation of the openings in the hallways

[@Zik_isi]

Although it relies on some krutches, this is an interesting concept of generating!

[@fearlesswee5036]

Pretty nice, and very fast. Btw, how could I go about having "specialty" rooms, ensuring that they are always placed somewhere in each dungeon? Like if I were to have say, a shop, and I wanted to make sure each dungeon has a shop. Of course I could just make it so the generation will check if it has placed a "shop" room already or not, and if yes, then exclude the shop from the usable tile pool, but otherwise it's entirely up to the mercy of RNG if a shop room is chosen. Then at the end of generation, if it sees that no shop room was placed, it'll regenerate the dungeon, repeating until it successfully places a shop. Now this will "work", but it's definitely not ideal, and becomes an exponentially bigger problem the more "special" rooms that are desired. Since if there's only 1 specialty tile, chances are the dungeon will end up having it. But if there's say, 5 specialty rooms I want each dungeon to always have somewhere in their layout, there's a much bigger chance one of them gets missed and the entire dungeon will need to regenerate. And it may be possible the dungeon will need to regenerate a dozen times, leading to a long wait time for players.

[@TextChange]

@@fearlesswee5036 here what you could try. Once all rooms are generated, list all rooms that have the same number of waypoints as your shop room. For example, if your shop room has 4 waypoints, find all rooms with 4 waypoints. Randomly pick one from this list and replace it with your shop room. If you want to have more then one shop room then repeat these steps in a for loop. It is still not ideal, because it is still dependent on RNG. Lets say you want 3 shop room (shop room has 4 doorways) But there are only 2 rooms with 4 doorways. You see the problem now? How to fix it? Instead of making special rooms, you should have your shop as a separate model. Now you can just select a random room from the dungeon and position your shop in that room. It is fast and easy method

[@fearlesswee5036]

@@TextChange Well the "shop" would be a defined room, for a special layout + set dressing. I plan to use large 100 stud tiles to have a lot of room for the room/hallway layout to deviate. So like a 4-way intersection might not be a straight path, but have more twists/turns. I didn't even think of placing them *after* the dungeon generates; finding a random 4-way room for example and replacing it with the special room. That's very smart. I could also probably use this to put an "exit" or "end room" for the dungeon, using a basic magnitude check to exclude room tiles too close to the start. Thanks for taking the time to respond and the tutorial!

[@chargemannyn2918]

It seems the code breaks when I apply it to my own rooms with bigger and more complex sizes. Any fix for this?

[@TextChange]

Well, without any information it is really hard to tell what is wrong with your model. But i assume you have different size rooms. This is a problem because this system wasn’t created to handle room with different size. You have to make sure that your all rooms are same size

[@--Brick--]

I haven't finished the tutorial yet but it says SetPrimaryPartCFrame() is deprecated 6:05 so instead I'm using Model:Pivot() which is the same thing. Also from what I've seen you can put most of this in a module script

[@TextChange]

Yeah SetPrimaryPartCFrame() and Model:Pivot() is the same thing. It Just that I'm Used to using SetPrimaryPartCFrame(). And yeah you can use module script but i didn't wanted to make this more complicated.

[@Flook1]

How do I make the generation infinite and allow the situations when there are 2 rooms connected with each other?

[@the_actual_alex]

this is so good! just one question, is it possible to add other rooms that also spawn just one time in random positions?

[@TextChange]

@@the_actual_alex yeah it it possible. It will be a little hard work, so bare with me. First thing you need to do to make your room. And place it somewhere else. And then after generation process is complete, you have to make a table/array of all the room with the same amount of doorways as your intended room. For example, Let's say your intended room has 2 door ways. So you will make a table of all the room with 2 doorways that were generated. Now choose a random room from that array and replace it with your intended room. There are many other ways to do it. But this was the first thing thar came in my mind

Hallways are overlapping with the rooms and becoming quite messy. There are also times they spawn under the map and rotated. do you have an idea on what the problem is?

[@furiousgoober]

is there a way to make it choose through different types of dungeons? like different colors of walls and floors, and maybe like make the rooms and hallways be restricted to a big box like zone?

[@TextChange]

Of course, after all possibilities are endless! it may not completely satisfy your needs, here are some ideas to consider. To confine dungeon generation within a specific area, you can implement a check during room spawning to ensure the chosen coordinates fall within the designated zone. For instance, let's designate an area within 200 studs from the origin (0,0) in each direction. When spawning a room, verify if the selected coordinate satisfies the conditions: (Vector3.X = -200) and (Vector3.Z = -200). If these conditions are met, proceed with generating the room; otherwise, transform the waypoint segment into a wall. (Assuming you're referring to themed dungeons like jungle or desert) Now, for different types of dungeons, organize themed rooms and hallways into separate asset folders. For instance, create a folder named 'Jungle' containing jungle-themed assets exclusively. Then, introduce a string value (let's name it "themevalue") to determine the appropriate asset folder dynamically. Here's an example: local assetFolder = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(themevalue.Value) I hope this guidance proves helpful! If you found it useful, consider showing support by liking the video and subscribing to my channel-it truly motivates me.

@@imButterGuy that's a whole new system. You have to make that dungeon in clients side. Since dungeon generation is random, different clients will have different dungeon layout.

man i even copied the exact code from the comments after typing it all out myself and it still didn't work for me, only generated the starting room and then gave nothing in the output console

Try the model provided in the description and in the pin comment.

hey can you tell my why when i create my own rooms with the exact same scripts and everything it says "attempted to index nil with Position"

when i try to find the distance

[@TextChange]

maybe you forgot to set the room's "PrimartPart" property. Make your you have the primarypart and waypoint part where they need to be.

Also, Can u make a model that has the END room?

[@TextChange]

Just copy the starting room, remove the waypoint part and place it inside the asset folder.

im just trying to use this for a never ending road with occasoinal burger kings lol

😆 good luck with that

[@OLDACCOUNT_notfireman]

what if in a scenario one of the hallways have a waypoint that directly points towards the starting room, and as it already reached a max rooms limit it would try to generate a shop room INSIDE the starting room. is there a way to prevent this?

[@TextChange]

What? I don’t know what are you talking about. But if you are concerned about room overlapping then don't worry. This system will not overlap rooms.

[@0MNIKAT]

I'm a bit late to this as well as new to coding. This tutorial is fire and easy to follow, however I am having trouble with the StartingPosition in which I'm getting an error message "Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame() failed because no PrimaryPart has been set, or the PrimaryPart no longer exists. Please set Model.PrimaryPart before using this." Anyone know what could be up?

[@TextChange]

you forgot to set the 'PrimaryPart' property for your starting room. here, follow this 1:49

@@TextChange Oh my god thank you so much I get it now!! Your a genius with setting that to the pivot and thank you for pointing that out as I completly missed that part.

How would I make it possible to put a set amount of rooms in the dungeon whilst also having specific rooms limited to another set number?

[@TextChange]

@@glitch8442 I already have a max room limit on my system. (Please watch the full video. I worked hard on it man 😭😭) And for your second request. here is what you could do. Once all rooms are generated, list all rooms that have the same number of waypoints as your special room. For example, if your special room has 4 waypoints, find all rooms with 4 waypoints. Randomly pick one from this list and replace it with your special room. Repeat this until you have the desired number of special rooms in the dungeon.

[@flision99]

Hey do know how I can have specific chances of rooms spawning and make sure that a specific room spawns no matter what?

[@TextChange]

It is going to be really tough. You should check out 'weighted selection' function. This function allows you to assign certain percentage to individual room and return a random room according to percentage. I'm not going to do it myself, as it will just waste my time. To make sure a specific room always spawns, example a boss room. You can try this method(not the best). After the generation is complete choose a random room from the dungeon and replace it with your boss room.

[@flision99]

@@TextChange Ok I'll try that out thanks

[@flision99]

@@TextChange also how do you think I could add a limited number of rooms because every now and then it spawns with 1 hallway to a dead end what I want is when it branches off for ages

[@TextChange]

@@reduvicemaster 😅 People often use the code without understanding it, then mess it up and complain that it doesn't work. It's a sarcastic way of saying, 'Just take the code and get out'. If you take a look at the comments on this video, you will understand what i mean.

[@reduvicemaster]

@@TextChange but it's good to learn. I'm not talking further anymore now

[@ProSureString]

I had this same question. Chads are people that understand what they do fully.

[@kafurnakis1389]

Hey is there a way to make certain rooms generate less frequently?

[@TextChange]

Yes you can! But this would need you to learn 'weighted selection'. It is too complicated to explain in a comment. But this is how you have to do it. When choosing a random room, instead of doing what i did. You would use weighted selection to choose a room based on percentage.

[@Shotnoms]

Yo im an upcoming game dev i was wondering if you would like to colab on a project im mainly a terrain artist and modeler very little scripting knowledge

[@drlssteam]

How did you prevent self loops that stops the generation?

[@TextChange]

@@drlssteam I forgot to mention it in the video. But here is the quick explanation. When we start generating rooms or hallways, a timer called 'last generated' records the time when the last room was made. Each time we create a new room, we update this timer to the current time. We use a loop that keeps running until all rooms are generated. Inside the loop, we check the time elapsed since the last room was made. If more than 5 seconds have passed and the desired number of rooms hasn't been generated, it means something went wrong, and we start the process again.

[@vipont7036]

A question, the PrimaryPart have to be exactly in the middle of the room ?

[@TextChange]

Yeah.
