How to make a part float above the players head at all times?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My goal is similar to the goal in this post: Make revolving parts around a character

I’m trying to create a script that allows for a Part(placeholder) to float above the players head and be able to follow/keep up with the player.

All help/answers is appreciated!

You can use a WeldConstraint to weld a part onto the player’s Head / HumanoidRootPart or just constantly update the part’s CFrame to match the Head / HumanoidRootPart’s CFrame with an offset.

Can’t use a weld, I can only use CFrame.

Hmm this reminds me of when I was creating my king of the hat game I needed to do the same thing and I never really came up with a good solution, but basically I yoinked a pet script and adjusted the cframe so it was above the players head or at least I yoinked the part that makes the pet follow.

So my solution probably isn’t the best, but here’s what I did pretty much

local function follow(Hat, V2, c)
		local bp = Instance.new("BodyPosition")
		bp.P = 90000 --I really never understood what this did, but feel free to adjust it
		bp.Parent = Hat
				
		coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
			while wait() do
			 bp.Position = c.Head.Position + Vector3.new(0,1,0)
		end))  	
end

edit: I assume you know, but Hat would be your part and then the Vector3 you can adjust that to what you want

For pets, you can just use RocketPropulsion. I believe they’re much more cleaner since you’re not really updating a property constantly. (Although I’ve never really tried it out myself).

oooh this would have been good to know lmao yeah that code was from a few months ago when I didn’t really know as much as I do now, but I mean it did what I wanted it to do so ye know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Try using an AlignPosition constraint. Otherwise, messing around with lerping CFrames could be a good option, but using physics constraints saves a lot of time and the performance difference is likely negligible. Not to mention this is quite easily customisable too.

I’ll try all of the suggestions now and mark the one that works the best as the solution :slightly_smiling_face:.
