How to Tween a Part 1 Stud Towards Another

[Tatanic_GamingYTalt (Randomosity)]

G’day my fellow Devforum members.

Back at it with that AEwVS inspired game, I’m done with the math problem generator and now I’m on the AI of the teacher.

I want the teacher to move towards the player by 1 stud, simple as that but not simple enough for me to know how to do it. I’ve tried multiplying the target position by 1 but it won’t allow CFrames to be multiplied by numbers alone. I’ve also tried multiplying it by “CFrame.new(1,0,0)” but it just moves the teacher to the right of the player.

Here’s the code:

local closestPlayer = nil
local closestDistance = math.huge

wait(5)

repeat
	wait(script.Parent:GetAttribute("WaitTime"))
	--Getting Closest Player
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local character = player.Character
		local distance = (script.Parent.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude

		-- Check if current player is closer than the previous closest
		if (not closestPlayer or distance < closestDistance) then
			closestPlayer = player
			closestDistance = distance
		end
	end
	
	--Chase
	local tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent, TweenInfo.new(script.Parent:GetAttribute("AttackTime"), Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {CFrame = closestPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(1 * script.Parent:GetAttribute("Speed"),0,0)}):Play()
	
	--Use the information about the closest player (optional)
	if closestPlayer then
		print("Closest player:", closestPlayer.Name, "at distance:", closestDistance)
		-- You can use closestPlayer and closestDistance for further actions
	end
	
	wait(script.Parent:GetAttribute("AttackTime"))

until false

And here’s a picture:

Thank you!

To have the teacher appear at the rear right of the player try doing something like this

local TeacherRoot: BasePart
local HumanoidRoot: BasePart

local Offset  = Vector3.new(3, 0, 5)

HumanoidRoot.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(Offset))

sets whatever the TeacherRoot is to be 3 studs to the right and 5 studs behind the HumanoidRoot

sorry for taking 15 hours to respond i slept
i think i misexplained it. i want the teacher to move 1 stud TO the player, not a couple stud behind them.
ex: if the teacher is 3 studs away from the player, he will move to be 2 studs away from the player, since he’s moving 1 stud to the player.
thank you and i’m sorry for explaining it badly

Simple as tweening the position of the teacher to part1.position + (part2.position - part1.position).Unit. Here’s the entire code:

local closestPlayer = nil
local closestDistance = math.huge

wait(5)

repeat
	wait(script.Parent:GetAttribute("WaitTime"))
	--Getting Closest Player
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local character = player.Character
		local distance = (script.Parent.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude

		-- Check if current player is closer than the previous closest
		if (not closestPlayer or distance < closestDistance) then
			closestPlayer = player
			closestDistance = distance
		end
	end
	
	--Chase
	local targetPos = script.Parent.position + (closestPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.position - script.Parent.position).Unit * script.Parent:GetAttribute("Speed")
	local tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent, TweenInfo.new(script.Parent:GetAttribute("AttackTime"), Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {Position = targetPos}):Play()
	
	--Use the information about the closest player (optional)
	if closestPlayer then
		print("Closest player:", closestPlayer.Name, "at distance:", closestDistance)
		-- You can use closestPlayer and closestDistance for further actions
	end
	
	wait(script.Parent:GetAttribute("AttackTime"))

until false

only problem is that the teacher clips through walls
