Having a Player Teleport around the Part, rather than the Center

Hi, So I’m trying to create a randomized offset for Players Teleportation to a Part from its Center, The Problem is that I don’t know if I need to use CFrame:Inverse or a Function like that to achieve what I want, what should I do?

Do I use a regular SpawnLocation for this?

To achieve a random offset around it, you could do something as simple as this.

local xOffset = math.random(1,5)
--local yOffset = math.random(1,5) Maybe not using Z though.
local zOffset = math.random(1,5)
local part = --PartLocation
local hrp = --The humanoid root part of the player
hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position + Vector3.new(xOffset, 0, zOffset))

That is just a basic example.

Yes, but this isn’t really what I want, I want all around the part and not just on a certain axis

You could modify their solution and have something like this:

local step = 0.1 --This determines how precise the randomness should be. The smaller the value, the more precise it is (ex: "0.1" could result in "Vector3.new(12.5, 0, 140.8)", "0.01" could result in "Vector3.new(124.04, 0, 34.15)")

local function PickRandomPos(part)
   local Pos = part.Position
   local Size = part.Size

   local Xoff = math.random((-Size.X/2) / step, (Size.X/2) / step) * step
   local Yoff = Size.Y/2 --could be replaced with "math.random((-Size.Y/2) / step, (Size.Y/2) / step) * step" if you want a random Y position too.
   local Zoff = math.random((-Size.Z/2) / step, (Size.Z/2) / step) * step

   local ChosenPosition = Pos + Vector3.new(Xoff, Yoff, Zoff)
   return ChosenPosition
end

This will pick a random spot on the part’s surface but can be changed to pick any spot within the part if you applied the “Yoff”
