Getting players position from local script

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to display in a ScreenGUI the local players X, Y, Z and update every 60 seconds but can’t figure out how to access the player’s position.

Try getting the position from a body part of the player such as the HumanoidRootPart.

local Position = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position

Make sure this is in a local script

I think you forgot to include the Character property of the local player.

If the player’s character has loaded, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character will point to the player’s character model in the workspace.

Also @CanterCrow be aware that if the player has not spawned in yet, their Character property will just be nil, so it would be a good idea to do some check before trying to access the character’s HumannoidRootPart.

Ok I got it,

while true do
local player = game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hmndrootpart = character:WaitForChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)

print("Pos X " .. hmndrootpart.Position.X)
print("Pos Y " .. hmndrootpart.Position.Y)
print("Pos Z " .. hmndrootpart.Position.Z)

wait(5)

end
