How to turn my player character into an Npc character?

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 3:35pm

I wanted to make a proximity prompt where if you hold it down, your character will turn into another character (basically a kit system). I did not know how to do this so I did some research on Devforum and found this post which helped me a bit. However, it was a bit confusing and I ended up with an error:

Workspace.Shop.Noob Kit.Kit NPC.ProximityPrompt.Script:25: attempt to index nil with 'HumanoidRootPart'

Here is my script:


prompt.TriggerEnded:Connect(function(player)
	
	print(player)
	
	local gamePassId = 22080195 -- Gamepass ID here
	
	local userId = player.userId
	
	if game:GetService(("MarketplaceService")):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(userId,gamePassId) == false then
		
		print("Player Does Not Have Gamepass")
		
		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, gamePassId)
		
	else
		
		print("Player Has Gamepass")
		
		local character = player.Character
		
		local clone = character:Clone()
		
		clone.HumanoidRootPart.Position = character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
		
		local newchar = game:GetService("ServerStorage").KitClones.NoobKit

		character = newchar

		character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = newchar.HumanoidRootPart.Position

	end

end)

Any help on how to fix this error and/or achieve what I want to achieve would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

FYI This script is inside the ProximityPrompt

Also here are 2 images of the Explorer, in case it helps:

prompt.TriggerEnded:Connect(function(player)

	print(player)

	local gamePassId = 22080195 -- Gamepass ID here

	local userId = player.userId

	if game:GetService(("MarketplaceService")):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(userId,gamePassId) == false then

		print("Player Does Not Have Gamepass")

		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, gamePassId)

	else

		print("Player Has Gamepass")

		local character = player.Character

		local clone = character:Clone()

		clone.HumanoidRootPart.Position = character.HumanoidRootPart.Position

		local newcharLocation = game:GetService("ServerStorage").KitClones.NoobKit
		local newchar = newcharLocation:Clone()
		newchar.Parent = workspace
		newchar.Name = player.Name
		
		player.Character = newchar
		
		player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = clone.HumanoidRootPart.Position

	end

end)

I still receive the same error:

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 4:38pm

Is this line 25? If it is, then the NPC character must not have a HumanoidRootPart.

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 4:39pm

It has a HumanoidRootPart:

Unless I’m doing something wrong

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 4:40pm

Can you show me the whole script, or at least tell me what is line 25?

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 4:41pm

local prompt = script.Parent

prompt.TriggerEnded:Connect(function(player)

	print(player)

	local gamePassId = 22080195 -- Gamepass ID here

	local userId = player.userId

	if game:GetService(("MarketplaceService")):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(userId,gamePassId) == false then

		print("Player Does Not Have Gamepass")

		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, gamePassId)

	else

		print("Player Has Gamepass")

		local character = player.Character

		local clone = character:Clone()

		clone.HumanoidRootPart.Position = character.HumanoidRootPart.Position

		local newcharLocation = game:GetService("ServerStorage").KitClones.NoobKit
		
		local newchar = newcharLocation:Clone()
		
		newchar.Parent = workspace
		
		newchar.Name = player.Name

		player.Character = newchar

		player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = clone.HumanoidRootPart.Position

	end

end)

I copied what you posted earlier

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 4:43pm

clone.HumanoidRootPart.Position = character.HumanoidRootPart.Position

is line 25

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 4:45pm

I think R15 discludes HumanoidRootPart. I’m not sure, but your character definitely doesn’t have a HumanoidRootPart.

If your game is set to R15, set it to R6. Game Settings > Avatar > Avatar Type

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 4:47pm

I get the same error. I changed the Avatar type to R6 and got the exact same error.

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 4:50pm

I have a HumanoidRootPart

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 4:51pm

Change line 25 to this:

clone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 4:52pm

Just do: Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 4:52pm

Same error

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

12Strings · November 13, 2021, 4:53pm

How about clone:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart'). If the output is infinite yield try to look yourself the hrp inside the explorer from server or client side, if its really there.

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 4:54pm

I got the same error again idk why it doesnt work

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 4:56pm

where do i put this? im not sure

12Strings · November 13, 2021, 4:59pm

Try run a check.

ProximityPrompt.PromptTriggered:Connect(function(Player)

print(Player.Character:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart'))

end)

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 5:01pm

It prints out HumanoidRootPart
