I'm having trouble with teleporting a part to a local player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I am making a bomberman type game and I’m trying to make a bomb appear at the player’s location when E is pressed

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    It doesn’t work, despite everything I’ve done. I do it through remote events. I’m fairly new to scripting

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I did, but I found nothing that helped

Just in case, here’s the code
LocalScript:

local BombPlaceEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BombPlaceEvent")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ActionKey = Enum.KeyCode.E

local keysPressed = UserInputService:GetKeysPressed()
for _, key in ipairs(keysPressed) do
	if (key.KeyCode == ActionKey) then
		BombPlaceEvent:FireServer()
	end
end

ServerScript:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BombPlaceEvent = ReplicatedStorage.BombPlaceEvent
local bombRS = ReplicatedStorage.Bomb


BombPlaceEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local bomb = bombRS:Clone()
	bomb.Parent = game.Workspace
	bomb.Position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
end)

Any help is appreciated!

In the server script, you didn’t position the bomb correctly.
Here’s the code rewrited hopefully it’s fixed

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BombPlaceEvent = ReplicatedStorage.BombPlaceEvent
local bombRS = ReplicatedStorage.Bomb


BombPlaceEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local bomb = bombRS:Clone()
	bomb.Parent = game.Workspace
	bomb.CFrame = CFrame.new(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.position)
end)

local BombPlaceEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BombPlaceEvent")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ActionKey = Enum.KeyCode.E

UserInputService.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == ActionKey then
		BombPlaceEvent:FireServer()
    end
end

replace this code with the one you got in the local script.
and replace the other code i gave you in the serverscript.

I would suggest using PivotTo and GetPivot instead of manually setting the CFrame because it is more efficient in my opinion.

You can move a part to the CFrame of a part (usually a model) by getting the pivot. Exampl:

local part = Instance.new(“Part”)

part.Parent = game.Workspace

part:PivotTo(game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(“playername”):GetPivot())

No, nothing. Also tried using the pivot thing Wood just sent, but that doesn’t work either

#16

Try putting prints in the codes… And tell me if they do get printed.
