Check out CFrame:ToWorldSpace(), it’ll let you edit the CFrame relative to rotation, so no matter the angle it’ll always move forward.
An example would look like
Part.CFrame = Part.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(0, 0, -5))
Yeah, that didn’t work. I have a feeling its a problem with the loop but I can’t figure out what part of the loop doesn’t work.
What did your new code look like? The loop itself has nothing to do with the position, its gonna be this line.
ability = function()
if CheckIfAlive() then
local s, r = pcall(function()
sound:Play()
while sound.IsPlaying do
torso.CFrame = torso.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(0, 0, -5))
task.wait(.125)
end
end)
if not s and r then
print(r)
end
end
end;
You’re close, but you need to set the entire models CFrame, not just the Torso. Moving only 1 part of the character won’t do anything.
Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(0, 0, -5)))
didn’t work, also i wanna note that this is a tool
Pivot acts really weirdly on R6 rigs, at least for me. I recommend to set the HumanoidRootPart CFrame instead if you’re using R6. On R15 it works perfectly fine though.
I tried it as you can see above. This seems so simple yet nobody can solve it…
Im not sure if this can help, but in a noclip script i made I used humanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(position, position+lookvector)
Hope this can help you.
Edit: Just tried this and it works:
local char = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character
local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local speed = 10
while true do
task.wait(0.5)
hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(hrp.Position, hrp.Position+ hrp.CFrame.LookVector) * CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,-1) * speed)
end
Didn’t work for me… Am I doing something wrong?
I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. Are you getting any errors or is it just not moving at all?
No, look at this: a bug - YouTube
When I try to turn the character for it to teleport me in another direction, it doesn’t go in that direction, it keeps going in the same direction.

Is this a localscript or a serverscript? Because I noticed that in the video you’re turning your camera with shiftlock, which the server might not detect (idk)
Edit: I tried it my code on a serverscript and i still worked so idk.
You’re probably right, its a serverscript. How do I fix this? Can I perhaps use a RemoteFunction to get the player’s orientation on the client and transfer it to the server?
I don’t actually think that it mattered if it was a serverscript for updating the position, but this should really be done entirely on the client. Theres no reason to handle this on the server, as the client is perfectly capable of repositioning the character with humanoidRootPart or Torso.
The problem is that its hard to replicate whats happening on the server side of the tool onto the client.
Not really. Its actually much better to handle tools on the client. Heres an example of a very simple localscript that does this just fine:
local lplr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
task.wait(0.1)
local tool = script.Parent
local sound = script.Sound
local speed = 10
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if lplr.Character == nil then
return
end
local hrp = lplr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if hrp == nil then
return
end
sound.Playing = true
while sound.IsPlaying do
task.wait(0.5)
hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(hrp.Position, hrp.Position + hrp.CFrame.LookVector) * CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,-1) * speed)
end
end)
I can’t transfer a 200 line server script to a local script.
Not all of your script needs to be a localscript. Just handling the player using the tool needs to be done on the client and detected by the server with remotes. I still would handle the player movement on the client even though it might work with remotes on the server. Of course it’s entirely up to you if you feel like converting the handling to the client; don’t do it if you don’t feel up to it. I think I have given a perfectly fine solution though, so you can mark my answer as the solution and close this topic or keep waiting for a new solution. Regardless of your choice, I wish you a good rest of your day/evening.
