Character spawns on its side after spawning

[InterCreation]

I have a checkpoint system and every time I join the game or die it respawns me on my side. I need some help, please! Thank you for your time

Is the cylinder the checkpoint? If so, I believe that the top face of the cylinder is actually on its side. I would suggest making an invisible SpawnLocation and turning that cylinder into a normal part.

it would mess up all my scripts, I might need to change the vector3 to something different I assume

Are you teleporting the character manually using scripts or are you using SpawnLocations?

[InterCreation]

using scripts because spawn locations down work

Okay, then you can just remove the rotation of the checkpoint CFrame, like

root_part.CFrame = CFrame.new(checkpoint.Position + Vector3.new(0, 3, 0))

@calvin_coco

root_part.CFrame = CFrame.new(checkpoint.Position + Vector3.new(0, 4, 0))

want me to show you the script?

ocal dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")

local stageStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerStageDataStore")
local Checkpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("Checkpoints", 30)

function plrToStage(plr)
	repeat wait() until plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart

	local stagePart = game.Workspace.Checkpoints:FindFirstChild(tostring(plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value))

	plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = stagePart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,10,0)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
	stage.Name = "Stage"
	stage.Parent = leaderstats

this is how the character will spawn the vector 3 here

@InterCreation

function plrToStage(plr)
	repeat wait() until plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart

	local stagePart = game.Workspace.Checkpoints:FindFirstChild(tostring(plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value))

	plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = stagePart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,10,0)
end

You can change this part to this:

function plrToStage(plr)
	repeat wait() until plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart

	local stagePart = game.Workspace.Checkpoints:FindFirstChild(tostring(plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value))

	plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(stagePart.Position) + Vector3.new(0,10,0)
end

Thank you so much! I had no idea what was going on
