How would i make a player... fly? to a location?

[Qin2007]

maybe body movers
i am not known with body movers

That’s what I said (30 ch ars)

[RighteousCaty12334 (Xero6)]

is pivot to a transition to the target location or is it teleporting players to the position?

[Xacima (Yui)]

No, it will teleport the player.
But, it will only teleport them when the CFrameValue changes, which might be a smooth transition.

Just something I found though, test it out.

[RighteousCaty12334 (Xero6)]

it gave the exact result as using Tweens

[Xacima (Yui)]

Then this should help you:

TweenService on a model?

Unfortunately the TweenService will only touch individual instances. And to move a model, you can’t just set the primary part’s CFrame. Instead, you have to go through the SetPrimaryPartCFrame() method on the model, which will move all the other parts relative to the primary part for you. Personally I use a custom Tween object that I created, which lets me pass a callback function, which allows me to do custom tweens.

a question that may be slightly off-topic, but is the primarypart of a character meant to be it’s head? i thought it was the HRP…

Which in this case, is the HumanoidRootPart.

[RighteousCaty12334 (Xero6)]

weird, whenever i join the game my primarypart is the head and not the humanoidrootpart

[Xacima (Yui)]

It’s the HumanoidRootPart, unless you modified it yourself.
Try this if anything:

print(Model.PrimaryPart)

[RighteousCaty12334 (Xero6)]

i just opened an old project with a single tool in it to check if it’s something i changed, but it’s also head in this game
I think i found it.

for some reason, R6’s primary part is the Head, and for R15 it’s HumanoidRootPart

[Xacima (Yui)]

Seems like it is, for whatever reason.

Primary part of R6 characters: the Head or the HumanoidRootPart?

Discovered this myself recently - I’d always assumed the PrimaryPart for R6 was the HumanoidRootPart too. Now-a-days, I manually set the PrimaryPart of R6 characters to the HumanoidRootPart as this works best for me. So far I haven’t encountered any unexpected behavior.

you could always just use a BodyPosition. You will just parent the BodyPosition to the characters HumanoidRootPart, and set the Position Value of the BodyPostion to the desired Position. It will also smoothly tween it, and you can change the P and D properties to your liking.

[RighteousCaty12334 (Xero6)]

can you provide an example of how this would be used? i don’t get how it works, i applied it but nothing happens

[dragonvale5555 (FiercestNewt)]

Here is a simple script that runs on the PlayerAdded.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- Get the players Character
	
	local hrp = char.HumanoidRootPart -- Get the HRP
	wait(5) -- add a wait so that you can see the movement
	local BP = Instance.new("BodyPosition", hrp) -- add a new BodyPosition to the hrp
	BP.Position = Vector3.new(100,25,100) -- set the BodyPositions position
end)

works near perfectly how i wanted, thank you so much along with everyone else who helped

@Xacima

Though, instead of SetPrimaryPartCFrame, use PVInstance:PivotTo.

He wants to tween it I think. There’s no function like this

[Xacima (Yui)]

There’s no function like this

Yes there is.
Alternatively, a AlignPosition | Roblox Creator Documentation can make this possible.

[Xacima (Yui)]

This body mover has been superseded by AlignPosition . It’s highly recommended that you use AlignPosition for future work.

Create on Roblox

[dragonvale5555 (FiercestNewt)]

I know, but the BodyPosition is less complex, and can be used easier for beginners. It also works fine for just moving the character to a certain position.
