Props

Most maps will want to have props - props are thing that players can grab with the Magneto Stick, that can (or cannot) be destroyed, and that can (or cannot) be moved around. Props can have special behaviour when taking damage, or when destroyed.

See also: Classes.Prop

Making a Prop

Props can take two forms: a single BasePart, or a Model. In either case, you must add the Prop tag to the BasePart or Model to make it a prop. Props must be in the Dynamic map folder, but you can place them in any sub-folder within Dynamic.

Done!

If you want to make your prop breakable, you should add an attribute named Health, and set it to a number.

Special Behaviour

If your prop is breakable, you can have special behaviour for when it takes damage and for when it is destroyed. To do this, add a OnDamage and/or OnBreak ModuleScript to your prop.

These modules should return a function which will run when the relevant event occurs. The function should have the following signature:

OnBreak: function(prop: Types.Prop, params: Types.DamageParams): ()
OnDamage: function(prop: Types.Prop, params: Types.DamageParams): boolean?

The returned boolean for OnDamage determines whether the prop should actually take damage. The parameter types are covered in the classes section of the docs.

Prefabs

There are a number of prefabs available for prop behaviour. You can use these by setting your OnBreak / OnDamage module to the following code:

return require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Shared.MapPrefabs.PrefabName)

Prefabs:
Currently only one prefab exists.

• Window - Shatter the window when it is destroyed.

Note

If you are coming from TT2, most map prefabs from there should also be available here. You should still use the TT2 path for the module require, so:

return require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Assets.MapPrefabs.PrefabName)

Examples

--!strict
-- Prop.OnBreak
-- When this prop is broken, it will make the attacker a free kill if they are not evil (a Traitor).
-- An example usage of this is for a traitor tester.

return function(prop: Types.Prop, params: Types.DamageParams): ()
  if params.Attacker and not params.Attacker:IsEvil() then
    params.Attacker:SetFreeKill("destroyed the prop")
  end
end
