HumanoidRootPart becomes disassociated from rest of character model after teleport

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am attempting to teleport players between two positions within the same place. I have tried several methods and none of them work correctly. Even though the player appears to have teleported correctly on the client, I’m getting issues like this on the server:

It seems that after the teleport, the HumanoidRootPart is no longer in the same place as the rest of the character model, and I have no idea why. I have tried using HumanoidRootPart.Position, HumanoidRootPart.CFrame, Character:PivotTo(), Character:MoveTo()…nothing works. I still have this weird offset. Everything is fine before the teleport.

I have the same problem but weirdly, it didn’t have any consequences after teleporting, I discovered this after publishing the modifications and it worked fine on all clients.

For my game, there are consequences because weapons fail to function correctly after the teleport.

I was able to fix this using char:MoveTo(). Could you show your code using char:MoveTo()?

Sure.

-- Incoming teleport handler
local function incomingTeleport(player, effect, speed, power)
	suppress = true
	delay(cycleTime, function()
		suppress = false
	end)
	incPlayer = player
	incChar = player.Character
	local human = incChar:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	--local root = incChar:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if soundPowerUp ~= nil then
		soundPowerUp:Play()
	end
	lightUp()
	if soundTeleportIn ~= nil then
		soundTeleportIn:Play()
	end
	if reverseFace == true then
		incChar:MoveTo(position)
		local cf = incChar:GetPivot()
		local ax, ay, az = cf:ToOrientation()
		local newcf = cf * CFrame.Angles(ax, ay + math.pi, az)
		incChar:PivotTo(newcf)
		model.CameraEvent:FireClient(player)
	else
		incChar:MoveTo(position)
		--root.Position = position
	end
	queryResult = true
	setEmitterStatus(true)
	materialize(effect)
	setEmitterStatus(false)
	human.WalkSpeed = speed
	human.UseJumpPower = true
	human.JumpPower = power
	if soundPowerDown ~= nil then
		soundPowerDown:Play()
	end
	lightDown()
end

I use char:PivotTo() because I have to manipulate the CFrame when the ReverseFlag attribute is defined and true. But otherwise, it uses char:MoveTo(). I tried using root.Position but that doesn’t work either. Neither method in the above code works correctly.

character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(yourcframe)
or
character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position = position

#7

I’ve tried those. Same result.

#8

position isnt defined in your code, either that or something is wrong with the way your game is setting up characters, not the way your teleporting them

#9

try doing this

local target = CFrame.new(50,10,0
CharacterModel:PivotTo(target)
--or if you're not using cframe
local target = Vector3.new(50,10,0)
CharacterModel:PivotTo(CFrame.new(target))

Actually, position is defined globally elsewhere in the script.
