HumanoidRootPart and other character parts aren't connected

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m experiencing a problem where my character’s humanoidRootPart isn’t connected to the rest of the character’s body parts like intended, as shown in the video below.


This only happened after I changed the wait() from my respawn script to runService.Heartbeat:Wait() so I guess that caused the problem.

Has anyone else ever experienced this problem before? Should I just use wait() eventhough it is considered code smell?

This has never happened to me but if you find it useful this is the official roblox guide on how to use heartbeat.

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
    	local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    	local HRP = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    	runService.Heartbeat:Wait()
    	HRP.Position = Vector3.new(0, 280, 0)
    end)
end)

This is the respawn script I’m using. It’s on the server.

Move its CFrame instead of Position, otherwise you’ll break the character joints.

HRP.CFrame = CFrame.new(0, 200, 0)

Thanks, this works. Btw, you should put a vector3 as an argument in the CFrame.new() as just putting those numbers won’t run.

Though, this still doesn’t explain why HRP.Position always worked for me until I switched to runService.Heartbeat:Wait(). But I can live with using CFrame. Thanks a lot :smiley:
