I just need to make it so it’s toggable, so i can start and stop it.

I would appreciate if someone could help me, thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:

You can do that with just move the position of the player

Could you be more specific?

Should moving just one piece of the player work? For example the HumanoidRootPart

Yes. Moving the root part will move all limbs due to welds.

Not sure if you know this but moving the root part of a character by changing its position breaks the welds and kills the player. You have to use cframes @Faczki.

EDIT: You could also make a custom idle animation and have that stutter back and forth. It would be easier.

It’s the same thing. CFrames hold a vector3 and a rotation value.

Even though they are simmilar i don’t think they’re the same thing

No, Position and CFrame are different properties for a reason. Changing the root part’s Position property will kill the player. Changing the CFrame will not. Hence the function, :SetPrimaryPartCFrame()

Even though i can easily make the player vibrate, how can i make it stop?

Well, you could do something like this to make them vibrate:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local hrp = player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local isVibrating = false

someEvent:Connect(function()
   isVibrating = not isVibrating -- Toggles it
end)

while isVibrating do
   -- do something with the 'hrp' variable to make them shake.
   wait(.1)
end

Some event could be a keypress, etc.

I made this simple function which will run code constantly for the imputed time:

function RunForSeconds(seconds)
	local startTick = tick()
	while tick() <= startTick + seconds do
		-- CODE TO RUN FOR CERTAIN TIME
		wait(0.01) -- Cool down to prevent crash
	end
end
12

Would something like this work:

while isVibrating do
	hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(hrp.CFrame + 0, 0,0, 1)
	wait(.1)
	hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(hrp.CFrame - 0, 0,0, 1)
end
13

I believe it should. I’m not too experienced with CFrames though, so I am not sure.

14

I tried it out and it did not work. No errors on the output though :slightly_frowning_face:

15

Randomly generate a number between 0-0.1 studs and make the character move by that much.

16

The issue i’m having is the moving part, this is a script i tried that didn’t work:

17

try this one:

local Cframe = hrp.CFrame
while isVibrating do
   hrp.CFrame = hrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(1,0,0)
   wait(0.05)
   hrp.CFrame = Cframe
   wait(0.05)
   hrp.CFrame = hrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(-1,0,0)
   wait(0.05)
end
18

Still doesn’t, i’m starting to think that the problem is not at the moving part of the script.

Edit: Yes, i added a print to the script and it did not print anything

19

idk bro, maybe put “0.1” instead of “.1”

I just realized the problem wasn’t at the moving part and yet the other one.
