Moving Character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi there! The character isn’t moving in this script.

function onClick()
	
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local character = player.Character
	
	local math = math.random(1, 2)
	
	if math == 1 then
		print('ello')
		character.Position = game.Workspace.Arena.PlayerSpawns.Part1.Position
	end
	
	if math == 2 then
		character.Position = game.Workspace.Arena.PlayerSpawns.Part2.Position
		print('asdfasdfasdf')
	end
	
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onClick)

I belive that this is due to the fact that I can’t move the character with ‘Position?’

Characters are models. Models don’t have Position property. I suggest teleporting characters by changing character’s HumanoidRootPart's CFrame to a teleportation position. An example:

-- Teleport to position -64, 32, 0;
game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(-64, 32, 0)

Just like what @Spiderr12PL said, the character you are referencing to is a model and if you look on the properties of the model there is no position property so that you need to change the CFrame of the HumanoidRootPart which is basically the primarypart of a character.

Furthermore, assuming that you called the player using game.Players.LocalPlayer it seems that you are doing this client sided, so meaning that other players can’t see that you teleported somewhere only yourself, if you want other players to see you teleporting then send a remote event to the server and then you can do the teleport handling there.

This should fix your issue. Use CFrame and the position of your target part.

#5

Or you could use player.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cframe)

A Character’s primary part will always be “HumanoidRootPart”, so it just makes it a bit shorter, comparison:

player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = (cframe)
vs
player.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cframe)

Add-on:

With this, you can also use :GetPrimaryPartCFrame(cframe)

#6

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character

local HRP = character.HumanoidRootPart

local math = math.random(1, 2)

if math == 1 then

print(‘ello’)

HRP.Position = game.Workspace.Arena.PlayerSpawns.Part1.Position

end

if math == 2 then

HRP.Position = game.Workspace.Arena.PlayerSpawns.Part2.Position

print(‘asdfasdfasdf’)

end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onClick)
hope this helps!

The Character’s Children sometimes will not 100% load all the time, which is why you should call WaitForChild() so that the script can yield its code and wait until that said “HumanoidRootPart” is found

I also think you forgot to create your local function :thinking:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local function OnClick()
    local RNG = math.random(1, 2)

    if RNG == 1 then
        print("ello")
        HRP.Position = workspace.Arena.PlayerSpawns.Part1.Position
    else        
        HRP.Position = workspace.Arena.PlayerSpawns.Part2.Position
    end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(OnClick)
