How do I move the player to another player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

im trying to make an attack where you do a wind up then teleport to the nearest player or rig in front of you then do a attack on them, i could just move the player to the opponents position -2 but idk if that would work. how would I do this?

Pivoting to a target character’s CFrame and offsetting it by -2 studs would work, just do something like this

local character = script.Parent
local function teleport(targetCharacter : Model) : ()
    character:PivotTo(targetCharacter * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2)
end

It’ll put you 2 studs in front of the target character

Hey! I made this script which I think should work. It should be a server script and you should have a variable “plr” that contains the player teleporting. I first get the nearest player by looping through all of them, and then teleport it. Let me know if you have any doubts!

local player_char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local player_hrp = player_char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local nearest_distance
local nearest_position
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    local char = v.Character
    if not char then continue end
    local hrp = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    if not hrp then continue end
    if (player_hrp.Position - hrp.Position).Magnitude <= nearest_distance then
      nearest_distance = (player_hrp.Position - hrp.Position).Magnitude
      nearest_position = hrp.Position
  end)
end

if nearest_position then
  player_char:PivotTo(CFrame.new(nearest_position))
end

this puts you in front of the opponent yes, but it faces you away from them. i think i should rephrase what i want, i want the player to move forward so that it closes the distance to the opponent so that you move to them so that if you’re behind them it puts you behind them and if you’re in front of them you are in front and the sides etc.

local character = script.Parent
local function teleport(targetCharacter : Model) : ()
    character:PivotTo(targetCharacter * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi, 0)
end

still doesn’t work

i don’t wanna use pivot to because that won’t work how i want it, I want it to check the distance between the 2 players and move the player that distance.

i want it to just move me forward to the dummy dependent on distance and not just teleporting in front of them

This should do what you want it to:

local function teleport(targetCharacter : Model) : ()
	local characterPosition = character:GetPivot().Position
	local targetPosition = targetCharacter:GetPivot().Position
	
	local toTargetFlattened = (targetPosition * Vector3.new(1, 0, 1) - characterPosition * Vector3.new(1, 0, 1)).Unit
	local newCFrame = CFrame.lookAlong(targetPosition, toTargetFlattened) * CFrame.new(0, 0, 3)
	
	character:PivotTo(newCFrame)
end

This uses flattened character positions so they don’t angle weirdly when there’s a height difference

this kinda works but its a little weird

it flips the characters around

What do you mean by flipped around
