Getting Started

This tutorial shows you how you can set up EasyEnemies and teaches you a basic implementation of the module.

Installation

Get the module from the Roblox library

!!! Note For the purposes of the tutorial, the script assumes the modulescript is in game.ServerScriptService; For security purposes it would be best if placed game.ServerScriptService .

After you insert the module to your place, add a new script to game.ServerScriptService and paste the folowing code to start using the module:

--Import the module so you can start using it
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local EasyEnemies = require(ServerScriptService.EasyEnemies)

The next part of the code defines all of the different methods of usage:

-- Defining Enemy Settings
local enemy_settings = {
    health = 100, -- Enemy Health
    damage = 1, -- Enemy Base Damage
    wander = false, -- Enemy Wandering

    attack_range = 20, -- Enemy Search Radius
    attack_radius = 5, -- Enemy Attack Radius

    attack_ally = false, -- Enemy Attacking Team Members
    attack_npcs = true, -- Enemy Attacking Random NPC's
    attack_players = true, -- Enemy Attacking Players

    default_animations = {8972576500}, -- Enemy Animations should be used for 'Light' Attacks // Example default_animations = {8972576500}
    default_functions = { -- Functions for said 'Light' Attacks ^
        function(target) -- functions pass the target as the first argument automatically
            print(target)
        end,
    },

    special_animations = {8972576500}, -- Enemy Animations should be used for 'Heavy' Attacks // Example special_animations = {8972576500}
    special_functions = { -- Functions for said 'Heavy' Attacks ^
        function(target) -- functions pass the target as the first argument automatically
            print('specialMove')
        end,
    },
}

!!! Note EasyEnemies.new() is a constructor that initializes a new Enemy and it should only be initialized once per enemy.

There are 2 ways to initialize enemies

Method 1: Using CollectionService Tags

The following is a video showcasing the usage of tags:

The following code initializes every model with 'EnemyTag' CollectionService Tag:

  local Enemy = EasyEnemies.new('EnemyTag', enemy_settings)

Method 2: Using Models

The following is a video showcasing the usage of models:

The following code initializes the model passed in the first parameter on the EasyEnemies.new() function:

  local Enemy = EasyEnemies.new(Dummy, enemy_settings) -- Initializes specific Model
