Model not staying in the air

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey devs,
I am currently making a simple system to make a model move in random places, it works fine. The only problem is that I set the height to 10 studs, but the model still stays on the ground… I tried playing around with the anchor settings but it didn’t change anything. What can I do to fix it ?

local Dummy = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Dummy:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
while true do
	Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(math.random(-50,50),10,math.random(-50,50)))
	repeat wait() until Humanoid.MoveToFinished
	wait(math.random(1, 10))
end

Any help is appreciated,thanks.

Humanoid.MoveTo commands walking, and you can’t hover-walk. He will walk to the X and Z coordinates but remain on the ground. If you tell me exactly how you want it to behave (i.e. leaping, floating, frozen in place, launching towards the position, etc etc) then I will give some suggestions on how to do what you want.

I just want to make it fly to a random location. Thats it.

Best you can do is try and do TweenService with the dummy. I ain’t sure if this will even work I never tried but maybe you can try it?

What Part do I Tween?
The part you need to tween is “HumanoidRootPart”

You can make it fly to locations by doing it this way.

How do I make it stay in the air when the dummy arrives at the location?
You can simply enough do:

-- // Make it stay where it is
HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
-- // Make it go down
HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false

Here is how to use TweenService:
TweenService (roblox.com)

Just tried out this script :

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
while true do
	local goal = {}
	goal.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-50,50),10,math.random(-50,50))
	local timeG = math.random(3, 10)
	local info = TweenInfo.new(timeG)


	local Tween = TweenService:Create(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart, info, goal)

	Tween:Play()
	wait(timeG+math.random(1, 10))
end

and for some reason, its deleting the HumanoidRootPart which is really strange (also this isn’t exactly a roblox character, its a butterfly with a humanoid and HumanoidRootPart)

Part1 = Wing left / Right

#10

try and weld normally then try.

#11

I managed to make it stop deleting itself by anchoring it… (strange fix but ig)

#12

So does it work fine now the way you wanted it to?

Yes thanks you ! This extra sentence just exist to go past the minimum

Humanoid:MoveTo only works for 7 seconds so you would have to loop it

#15 
local Dummy = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Dummy:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local HMR = Dummy:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
while true do
	Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(math.random(-50,50),10,math.random(-50,50)))
	local Position = HMR.Position
	repeat 
		task.wait()
		HMR.CFrame = CFrame.new(Position.X, 50, Position.Z)
	until Humanoid.MoveToFinished
	wait(math.random(1, 10))
end
