Carrying players

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

What I am trying to achieve is: Lets say player1 and player2 are both under 15 health and they are both crawling (which I have already made) but player3 is going to carry one to safety.

I am not sure as to how I can pull this off, the reason is because I am checking for the “Torso” near the player and welding it to their hand when the InputBegan event fires, but there are multiple parts called Torso so I don’t understand how to define each individual torso without picking all of them up. Any suggestions?

#2

I suggest instead of welding it to their Torso’s instead weld it to their HumanoidRootParts.

#3

That’s not what I mean, I mean there are multiple parts in the game called “Torso” so how do I define each one?

#4

Is their parent a player’s character as Roblox doesn’t add on default multiple parts in the workspace called “Torso”, if the parts are directly child of Workspace can you please provide screenshots.

#5

They are not parented to the workspace, they are parented to players, would I get all the players in a variable and define all of the torsos?

something like this?:

local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local characters = players.Character or players.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Torsos = characters:WaitForChild("Torso")
#6

this is a table; you can’t just say:

instead I suggest using the following:

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		-- here you got the character and player defined as: plr and char;
		-- now you can do:
		local Torso = char:WaitForChild("Torso")
		-- rest of the script here.
	end)
end)

Thanks! Now I understand this :slight_smile:

Sorry to bother, but I added your part to it and it still does nothing

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local pTorso = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Torso")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local Torso = char:WaitForChild("Torso")
		UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isTyping)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and isTyping == false then
				if(pTorso.Position - Torso.Position).Magnitude < 3 then
				    print("test")
				end	
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Does it print test though? Also, he is right. You should create a weld from the downed player’s humanoidRootPart to the carrier’s humanoidRootPart, make it so trollers can’t hold them for like an infinite time, make it so they have a limit of 30 seconds before the carried player drops down to the ground, it takes 5 seconds to recarry them again.

Also, change the angles in a way to make it look like the downed player is carried so it’ll look more fitting and “comfortable”.

Edit: Also, to prevent players like carrying downed players next to a wall, use raycast.
