How to Use CFrames

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey everyone,

I have a question that I can’t figure out on my own, mainly because I don’t understand CFrames.

I’ve made a skydiving script, and it can detect when the player is landing on the ground. Although, I’m having trouble detecting when a player is landing on a house or any other object that’s above the ground.

My solution to this problem is this:

  • Create a BasePart

  • Use CFrame to make the part move to the top of any object the player is flying above

  • Calculate the magnitude from the BasePart to the player’s HumanoidRootPart

Keep in mind, I don’t understand CFrames, so I have no clue how to do the second step.

Could someone please tell me how to do this? In layman’s terms, please.

Thanks in advance.

You know you can use rays to detect if a player is about to hit something too?

Also here’s a link for CFrames which may help you understand what they are more precisely:

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve never used rays, but they seem much easier to manipulate than CFrames, I’ll definitely look into it.
