  1. What do you want to achieve? am trying to make the part follow the players humanoid rootpart and trying to make it look smoothly by lerping it, here is the script i’ve made
local tweenservice = game:GetService ("TweenService")
local contextactionservice = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local char = script.Parent
local humanoidrootpart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local coolgui = workspace.C00LGUI


	contextactionservice:BindAction("show_part", function(_, state, obj) 
		if state ~= Enum.UserInputState.Begin then return end
	     coolgui.Orientation = Vector3.new(-30,0,0)
		tweenservice
		:Create(coolgui, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Back, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut), {["Size"] = coolgui.Size.X == 3 and Vector3.new() or Vector3.new(3, 1.75, 0.25)})
		:Play()
			for i=0, 1, 0.01 do
			coolgui.Position = humanoidrootpart.CFrame:Lerp(humanoidrootpart * Vector3.new(0,0.6,-2), i)
			end
	end, false, Enum.KeyCode.E)

and am also trying to make the y rotation of the part follows the players y rotation if you can also help me with that it would be super helpful -Thank you in advance!

why not use alignposition and alignorientation to move the part to follow the player its more realistic than TweenService.

You can manipulate the attachments of the alignposition and align orientation properties with TweenService for a initial effect of part appearing

right i didn’t think of that, i’ll update you if it works or not thanks for the idea!

#5

ok good luck using mover constraints

#6

yeah uhm that didn’t go as planned
it’s like stuck right on my head i wanted to make an offset by doing a vector and moving it a bit away but for some reason it wont work
and also i tried to make a clone so each player can get his own part following him but it was like in the middle of the 2 players it was attached to both of them anyways here is the code i made for it

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	local newpart = workspace.follow:Clone()
	newpart.Parent = workspace
	
	newpart = workspace:WaitForChild("follow"):WaitForChild("Attachment")
	local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Head"):WaitForChild("HatAttachment")
	
	
	local align = Instance.new("AlignPosition")
	align.Parent = char
	align.Attachment1 = humanoid
	align.Attachment0 = newpart
    	
end)

Thanks!

Create a default attachment for the players character parented to their humanoiddrootpart or head then you can offset with a script or manually

Try to parent the part to the players character

And dont use waitforchild for the part named follow as it will find a part in the workspace named follow and use it as your specificied part when you wanted the players follow part

Instead write:
newpart=newpart:WaitForChild(“Attachment”)

that’s actually pretty genius god dang why didn’t i think of that

#12

its the power of logic and basic reading of the code

#13

hello there, sorry dont wanna bother ya but got good news and bad news most of the problems that i had are fixed there is just 1 more teeny tinny problem i’ve still made it that it clones a newpart for each player when they joined the it was successful, but 1 problem they both share the same part
but the part was just following 1 player the other cloned part wasn’t working only one part was working this might seem a bit confusing to read just message me if you want more details, thank you for your time again!

#14

k could you show the new script you wrote.Its easier visually then worded.

#15

Nah actually dont do what i wrote above i figured it out visually in my mind.The logic behind that 1 problem is that you need to destroy that old cloned part because say you leave the game or your character is destroyed that part was linked to that character but not your new character that you currently have spawned or is spawning.In theory its a whole new object.
So set up a char.Humanoid.Died Event to achieve the result

#16

huh didn’t quite understand that sorry also it’s alr let me just send u the script i made i might have made a small mistake, anyways here ya go

local replicated = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	local part = replicated:WaitForChild("C00LGUI")
	
	local attachment = Instance.new("Attachment")
	local newpart = part:Clone()
	newpart.Parent = workspace
	attachment.Parent = newpart
	
	newpart.Orientation = Vector3.new(-30,0,0)
	local part2 = char:WaitForChild("Weld")
	
	local part2attach = part2:WaitForChild("Attachment")
	local partnewattach = newpart:WaitForChild("Attachment")
	
	local alignpos = Instance.new("AlignPosition")
	alignpos.Attachment1 = part2attach
	alignpos.Attachment0 = partnewattach
	alignpos.Parent = char:WaitForChild("Head")
	alignpos.Responsiveness = 1
end)

appreciate the help dude you are the best

#17

This code is quite not efficient for starters and not flexible but ill fix some parts

#18

Try this:

local replicated = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local head=char:WaitForChild("Head")
	local part = replicated:WaitForChild("C00LGUI")
	
	local attachment = Instance.new("Attachment")
	local newpart = part:Clone()
	newpart.Parent = workspace
	attachment.Parent = newpart
	
	newpart.Orientation = Vector3.new(-30,0,0)
    local attachment1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
	attachment1.Parent = head
	
	
	local alignpos = Instance.new("AlignPosition")
	alignpos.Attachment1 = attachment1
	alignpos.Attachment0 = attachment
	alignpos.Parent = head
	alignpos.Responsiveness = 1
    char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
          newpart:Destroy()
    end
end)

if you want the part to be destroyed when the player’s character is about to be removed from the workspace use the CharacterRemoving Event from Players Service.And for more smoothness try using networkownership on the part set to the player.
