How can I find a players location

I’m trying to make a command where you type something in the chat and an object spawns on top of you. I’m wondering how I can spawn the object above the player’s current position.

You can use the Players service to get the Player object, then with that player object, you can get the position of their character by doing:

local position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position

however you will want to first check if their character exists before attempting to get the HRP.

Then if you want to position the object above their head, you can add 10 studs to the position:

object.Position = position + Vector3.new(0,10,0)

so like this?

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local frog = game.ReplicatedStorage.FrogMesh
local position = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position

plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	if msg == "!frog" then
		frog.Parent = Workspace
frog.Position = position + Vector3,new(0,10,0)
		print("spawned")
	else
		print("Didn't spawn")
	end
end)

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hmr = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local frog = game.ReplicatedStorage.FrogMesh

plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	if msg == "!frog" then
		local frogClone = frog:Clone()
		frogClone.Parent = workspace
		frogClone.CFrame = hmr.CFrame
		print("Spawned!")
	else
		print("Didn't spawn.")
	end
end)

You were nearly there, I just made a few changes, when referencing workspace if you use a capital “W” you’ll need to use “game.Workspace” if you use a lowercase “w” then you can simply use “workspace”.

Gosh I didn’t know that I was so close! Thank you everyone!

Vector3,new(0,10,0)

You also had a comma here which would need to be a dot but I removed that bit.

Vector3.new(0,10,0)

Yup I just noticed while I added that thank you
