How would I move a player to a part?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Here we go.

I am trying to create a script that will move a player to a part. I have a script setup so when they buy the item, it will wait 5 seconds, then move the player to a parts position where their item is located. The part i can’t figure out is moving the player to the part. Heres a example:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(Player)
local Char = Player.Character
Char.Position = game.Workspace.TPPart.Position

How can i get this working?

Also, this is a local script in a screen gui :stuck_out_tongue:

Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = game.Workspace.TPPart.CFrame

huh, lemme test that. What does CFrame even mean/do?

@polill00 would teleport the player to the part. If you want that make sure to add a positive y vector so they dont clip. If you want it to move to it smoothly you would use the method humanoid:MoveTo(vector) make sure to apply a animation when this happens else it will kinda just slide. And make sure to do this on the server!

From my understanding CFrame is just like vector3 except it also has rotational imaginary numbers aka rotational matrix

Wow! It worked PERFECTLY. All I really will need to do now is add a wait to make it more smooth, but, with what @Diamond_Plus1 said, i am not having any clipping issues, so i should be fine on that part

CFrame , short for coordinate frame , is a data type that describes a 3D position and orientation. It is made up of a positional component and a rotational component. It includes essential arithmetic operations for working with 3D data on Roblox.

Setting the players position would work too, It doesn’t pass in orientation though.

Your problem was that you weren’t applying the position to the HumanoidRootPart.

@Diamond_Plus1 was referring to if you placed the tp part on the ground (or if it was cancollide = true, it would clip the player up to the surface.

Actually assuming his player is constructed with motor6ds and not just 1 part you NEED to use cframe

One last problem i just noticed; I am moving a vehicle from Rep Storage to Workspace, and whenever i move it, the seats no longer work? Ive tested it without moving it to rep storage, and it works fine

In roblox the CFrame is an instance composed of 3 numbers, which represent the 3 axes of the three-dimensional workspace, namely X, Y and Z. The CFrame is used most of the time to change the position of any material instance that has this three-dimensional property . I hope I have been of help to you!
