Moving player to part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So i am making an obby with gui navigation to move between stages, and I encountered a problem.
I don’t really know how to move the player to the specific part that they are going to.
current code and plan:

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local rightbutton = Player.PlayerGui.LevelGui.Main.Right
local levelchange = Player.PlayerGui.LevelGui.Main.level
local lastStage = Player.leaderstats.Stage
local checkpointWord = "Checkpoint"

rightbutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() 
	if (levelchange == lastStage) then
		return "error, last stage currently unlocked"
	else
		local nextPoint = levelchange + 1
		local placeToMove = checkpointWord .. nextPoint
		local partToMove = game.Workspace.placeToMove
		Player.CFrame = partToMove.CFrame --is this how i do it?
	end
end)

my checkpoints are called "Checkpoint"x, where x is the number. Example: “Checkpoint2”
i’m still new to scripting, so the answer may be obvious, but I don’t know what to do.

Player.character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):MoveTo(PartToMove.Position) -- or CFrame

It’s probably not gonna work but you can try (i just know that it works for npcs but i don’t know if this method works for player)

use player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame

the script only works on server side because if you do on local script the position wont change on server

as in instead of Player.character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)?

and you could run that on the client and it would still work

Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame

the humanoidrootpart is the primary part of the character so when you set its cframe the whole character will move

my last question is, if i use variables like a string to make the name, and just do

game.Workspace.partToMove -- the variable constructed by strings and numbers

will it work as a valid id if a part with that name exists?

#12

do you mean like uhm

local end_pos = part.CFrame
local character = player.Character
#13

i meant like
(pretend i have parts called Hello1, Hello2, etc.)

local firstpart = "Hello"
local secondpart = 2
local fullpart = firstpart .. secondpart
local partInWorld = game.Workspcae.fullpart
#14

you’d have to do workspace:FindFirstChild(fullpart)

i just tested the script, it seems to not want to teleport me?

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local rightbutton = Player.PlayerGui.LevelGui.Main.Right
local levelchange = Player.PlayerGui.LevelGui.Main.level
local lastStage = Player.leaderstats.Stage
local checkpointWord = "Checkpoint"

rightbutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() 
	if (levelchange == lastStage) then
		print("error")
		return "error, last stage currently unlocked"
		
	else
		print("hello?") -- doesnt print this
		local nextPoint = levelchange + 1
		local placeToMove = checkpointWord .. nextPoint
		local partToMove = workspace:FindFirstChild(placeToMove)
		Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = partToMove.Cframe
	end
end)

should the .LocalPlayer be removed?

#16

is this definitely a local script?

#17

yes
yep
yea
roblox minimum is annoying

#18

if this isnt being printed then

this condition is being met

#19

but are the levels values? aaaaaaaa

#20

but it is also not printing error, so is it just not running?

#21
