Roblox ForceField Material Is Very Underrated...

[@IncredibleTeamAidan]

I recently spent hours designing a forcefield material for, you guessed it, a forcefield

[@ZaeNonQ]

Woah i couldnt guessed that

[@engxuanwenmoe1482]

Wow a forcefield? I couldn't believe it

[@Watermelon_King1]

Dang I was gonna guess a bird

[@Hydrax_Real]

there is no need to use forcefield

[@joha_nn]

@@Hydrax_Real well thats you, im still using it

[@IsYeaYesyup]

I've used this material on floating blocks in obby games to give a glitch effect thing genuinely looks kinda cool

[@Free_mesh]

I wanted to add that if you set a negative transparency value, the force field material changes a little

[@idzwakey8737]

i cant believe people are forgetting about this

[@Kuruums2]

I remember seeing it in super hero training sim. Good times

[@somelefon]

as a well experienced, i can say there’s no such thing as flipbook textures except for particles there’s no way to achieve it without coding

[@PedroAnimations12]

Thanks for making a video about this! Just liked

No prob! And thanks

fr how does no one know about this

[@Extrenious]

@@enzo-polis literally clicked on the video to see why

[@enzo-polis]

@@Extrenious I clicked on this video because I thought roblox added a new feature for the forcefield material, but it's just the mesh texture animation that the forcefield material plays If you don't belive that I actually knew this 3 years ago I can show you proof in my community posts

[@enzo-polis]

​@@Extreniousor maybe I interpreted your comment wrong and you meant to say that you were the one who clicked on the video

[@gallantbug6542]

I’m still wondering how they didn’t know. Like, tf?

[@Axcyantol]

So THIS is how you do it! I've been wondering for like a year

[@DavidWinstead]

Awesome... I was wondering how to get that forcefield effect to work! Thanks for sharing this info, your rock!!

[@StinkyAviation]

It’s cool because if you put a mesh texture that happens

[@Biiklim]

Yo paul, a request that if you did i would highly appreciate. Can you make a tutorial over bone meshes (or i think it was called mesh deformation) and show us how to put the bones in the mesh and how to animate them? If i also remember correct the mesh could also be scaled with animating. Thank you!

[@leo3r4r]

nice video!

[@royalerafa]

forcefield is litteraly the best roblox tysm

[@АндрейЩераков]

Honestly im not a studio guy, i mostly play f3x games and to make that there is kinda barder but the same. Mesh, forcefield, decal.

[@summersoda725]

Babe new Paul1Rb video dropped 🤑

[@crab153]

pls make a tutorial on how u make the horns and how u textured it

[@AurytisX]

how are you discovering this now? I just assumed everyone knew this by now-

[@gneu1527]

Nope everyone always thought forcefields were just these transparent stuff

[@seandorama5932]

Same, there were videos about this since the forcefield block first came out I don’t know how everyone forgot

[@Silliously]

also it's probably heaviest material It drown very quickly

[@seek838]

Yea

[@gneu1527]

Huh, I expected it to be the lightest

[@УРАГАНЧИК-г5ч]

good!

[@bingymee]

it would be really cool if you could change the pattern the forcefield oscillates from

[@DenseMelon]

so this is what deepwoken uses for the clan base room purchase doors 🤔

[@kynze5228]

Yea, the ForceField material is a good idea but it isn't as good as it seems due to the lack of customizations and the lack of objects that support it as in it only works with meshes. Also you can pretty much do what forcefield does with Textures or other objects, it's just that it might not glow in the dark automatically depending on the object you use. This feature is just there to mess arround with, not to add into your game. I've seen some people use it for glass, it never looks great.

[@Paul1Rb]

I mean, making a custom effect that works like ForceField but isn't exactly it, wouldn't be too good due to it not having the same behavior, and because of that being even more limiting. And I've seen some good utilization of force fields in games like Adopt Me, or different individual projects and vfx's here and there. The main problem with this is that the material and its possibilities aren't properly documented, so an average person is either not even going to know about it, or have to brute-force it like I did in my process. Not to mention the fact that Roblox should add different shaders and materials, with the ability to modify their properties.

[@not_eagleye]

every single hitbox in my game says otherwise

[@eduaxlz1909]

i see forcefield very often in games

[@fiblz5443]

it was originally going to look WAY cooler.

[@samuels1123]

I'd love to see if there's some way to control the math for the grayscale. Here it's just a sine wave over time between 0 and 255, but what if it was a modulo of time, or a scripted value?

[@Paul1Rb]

I'm not really sure if it's possible since it's something done on Roblox's backend

[@EpicPico0625]

What did you do again for the teapot to work with the effect? I didnt really understand

[@thomazplays9305]

It needs to be UV maped. That means having its mesh mapped to have textures. If you're having trouble with that you can search "how to smart uv project on blender"

[@Paul1Rb]

I used the Smart UV unwrap in blender, it was mb that I forgot to unmute the mic on obs and I didn't really have the time to record that clip again

How to change how the forcefield shows shapes

[@AimarHM]

How can you add a custom forcefield for when a player spawns or resets their character?

[@MinerGritz]

use player.characteradded to check when a player spawns, then insert a forcefield and add it to debris service for as long as you want game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character) local forcefield = Instance.new("ForceField",character) game.Debris:AddItem(forcefield,10) end) end) I don't know if this is written correctly, I typed it on mobile.

[@gneu1527]

How do you get that effect?

[@amyb7216]

What is the texture id?

[@kristopher3623]

But dude what if it just held it's shape instead lf flashing
