Checkpoint only working for R15 players, not R6?

Heya, so something really confusing to me… I am coding a simple checkpoint system for my roblox game I am working on. I tested the checkpoints in R15 and they worked perfectly, now in R6 they do absolutely nothing. They don’t even put an error in the console, I switched back to R15 to confirm the bug and it’s still there.

If anyone can help, that would be great. If not please like this so more people can!

Code:

local checkpoints = workspace.checkpoints

local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Stage")

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

	local stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
	stage.Value = datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId, stage.Value) or 1
	stage.Name = "Stage"
	stage.Parent = leaderstats

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

		wait(character:MoveTo(checkpoints[stage.Value].Position))
		character:MoveTo(checkpoints[stage.Value].Position)

		humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(part)
			if part.Parent == checkpoints then
				if tonumber(part.Name) == stage.Value + 1 then
					stage.Value = stage.Value + 1
				end
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Stage.Value)
	end)
	if success then
		print("saved stage for " .. player.Name)
	else
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

game.Chat.BubbleChatEnabled = true
game.Players.RespawnTime = 0

:sparkling_heart: Thanks for reading this, and especially if you know how to fix it!

You can probably try doing humanoid:MoveTo() instead of character:MoveTo().

#3

That makes the humanoid attempt to walk to the position not teleport to it.

#4

I will need that for a seperate thing, thought it’s the leaderstat not going up. the ui works.

#5

Why don’t you set the HumanoidRootPart CFrame to the checkpoint CFrame then.

#6

what do you mean by this? for the leaderstat?

#7

I see the problem with the leader stats You are just making a model and parenting to the player

#8

How can i fix this? Since it works fine in r15.

#9

Don’t parent the model to the character? Or just try positioning the HumanoidRootPart instead.

#10

In the game settings try changing the avatar type to R6 and change the animation to standard then see if works

#11

I don’t suggest this unless he wants the game to look old and boring. Just remove the model from the character that you parented to it or position the HumanoidRootPart instead.

#12

Also instead of creating a model for the leaderstats try using a folder

#13

This is just changing the leaderstat’s to a folder, which works. But i need to figure out why it’s only adding the stage +1 if you touch the part in r15 only.

#14

HumanoidRootPart does not work either.

#15 
wait(character:MoveTo(checkpoints[stage.Value].Position))
		character:MoveTo(checkpoints[stage.Value].Position)

I see a error in those 2 lines instead of using move to trying using cframing the humanoid root part

#16

also when you touch the checkpoint send a full picture of your output

#17

This part is for the GUI to press arrows to get to a stage, that works already. I just need to figure out why it only works in r15.

#18

send the output when u click it in r15

#19

Now it has stopped working in R15 as well.

(nothing in output, didn’t realise u can’t see)

R6 does not have a HumanoidRootPart, so when you try to move the Character to a checkpoint, the Character will stay in the same spot, even though you see the Character moving. You need to manually move the R6 character to the checkpoint using the Character’s Torso.
