i coded this script so when i triggered proximityPrompt it will set the part to the player head until i triggered the proximityPrompt again, but instead the part is just does nothing. here is the script:
local DragObject = script.Parent
local Prompt = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(plr.Parent
if player then
local Head = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
if Head then
while true do
wait(0.01)
DragObject.CFrame = Head.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0)
end
end
end
)
end)
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local DragObject = script.Parent
local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
local ObjectOnHead = false
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
if ObjectOnHead == true then
ObjectOnHead = false
return
end
local Character = Player.Character
local Head = if Character then Character:FindFirstChild("Head") else nil
if Character and Head then
ObjectOnHead = true
repeat task.wait()
if DragObject and Head then
DragObject.CFrame = Head.CFrame * CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 0, -2)) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0)
end
until ObjectOnHead == false or Head == nil or DragObject == nil
ObjectOnHead = false
end
end)
i just realized i need a script with client runContext and i recode the code to this
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local DragObject = script.Parent
local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
local ObjectOnHead = false
local IsGrabbing = false
local Players = PlayerService:GetPlayers()
local player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer
local function Grab(Statement)
local Head = player.Character.Head
while Statement == true do
wait(0.01)
DragObject.CFrame = Head.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -1.5) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(0), 0)
end
end
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
if IsGrabbing == false then
DragObject.CanCollide = false
IsGrabbing = true
ProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Drop"
Grab(true)
else
DragObject.CanCollide = false
IsGrabbing = false
ProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Grab"
Grab(false)
end
end)
it was work, but when i click the prompt again it wont stop goes to the player head position like this
Edit: Sorry, just realized what you need help with; my brain’s too fried to process, haha. I’ll still keep this reply if you want to take ideas or a new perspective.
Add a collision check before moving it to the head position; this will prevent the part from moving into buildings or the map, but this is your game and script. Do whatever you want, as you see fit.
Also, filter out rotations and only include positional movements to avoid flickering caused by rotations not being filtered from the final CFrame while moving, as shown in the video above.
I also recommend using lerps (Linear interpolation) to slightly smooth the part movement. It will make it feel more polished and smooth.
That’s all I have. Unfortunately, I’m too tired to go into detail, so I’m just offering suggestions and fixes based on the video you sent.
i did add collision check, and i just recode my script again… and it kinda work, but when i try to drop the part this happens:
the script rn:
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local DragObject = script.Parent
local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
local ObjectOnHead = false
local IsGrabbing = false
local Players = PlayerService:GetPlayers()
local player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer
local function Grab(Statement)
local Head = player.Character.Head
while Statement == true do
wait(0.01)
DragObject.CFrame = Head.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -DragObject.PivotOffset.Z) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(0), 0)
if Statement == false then
DragObject.CFrame = nil
break
end
end
end
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
if IsGrabbing == false then
DragObject.CanCollide = false
IsGrabbing = true
ProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Drop"
Grab(true)
else
DragObject.CanCollide = true
IsGrabbing = false
ProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Grab"
Grab(false)
end
end)
i have 2 option
1, gave up the grabbing mechanic
2. Completely redo it until its work
first you should check for any errors in the studio output local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(plr.Parent
the line above will stops teh code from proceeding to the next line since this is a syntax error
while true do
wait(0.01)
DragObject.CFrame = Head.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0)
end
instead of this infinite while loop that doesn’t break, use Renderstepped with connection variable which you can disconnect
sample code
local dragging = false
local dragConnection
dragging = not dragging
if dragging then
if DragObject.Anchored then
DragObject.Anchored = false
end
print("Started dragging")
dragConnection = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if head then
DragObject.CFrame = head.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0)
end
end)
else
print("Stopped dragging")
if dragConnection then
dragConnection:Disconnect()
dragConnection = nil
end
end
or a repeat while loop
sample code
dragging = not dragging
repeat
task.wait(0.01)
if head then
DragObject.CFrame = head.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0)
end
until not dragging
The most efficient way is to weld the model’s primaryPart/part above the player’s head and unweld it depeding on circumstances; but the model/parts had to be unanchored
-- DragHelper Module
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
