How to force player to only move left and right in radius?

[28Y8 (onses)]

I’m currently wondering how you could allow a player to move in a specific orbit only? (red cylinder part is supposed to illustrate where you could move using the keys “A (left)” and “D (right)”.

I’m not sure how to go on about this and I would appreciate what I could potentially do to achieve this.

Example of what I want to achieve:

How do I position players on a circle?

I am trying to position the players on the ends of the circle. The first player gets positioned correctly but I want the second player to be a little distant from the other player. The players end up being teleported in a line crossing the circle instead of all around the circle. How would I achieve this? for i,v in pairs(_G.Players) do local R = 14 local Rot = chairs.Circle.CFrame Rot = Rot * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad((360/#game.Players:GetPlayers())*i),0) Rot = Rot * CFram…

From post #8, just change angleAmount as the player presses the specified keys.

Edit: Also don’t forget to disable the keys you need to!

I’m trying to figure out how to use it before I implement key control. It doesn’t work as intended. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.

Server Script:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Circle = game.Workspace.Cylinder

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local angleAmount = math.pi*2/#game.Players:GetPlayers()
		local multiplier = 3
		local yValue = 2
		local pos = Vector3.new(math.sin(angleAmount*i)*multiplier, yValue, math.cos(angleAmount*i)*multiplier) + Circle.Position
		v.Character:MoveTo(pos)
	end
end)

It doesn’t work as intended.

Can you describe the issue? If you’re getting an error saying you can’t “attempt to index nil with ‘MoveTo’”, it’s because you need to check to see if the character loaded.
