You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
I want to make a part follow me using AlignPosition
As u can see it works only 2 or 3 seconds
--local script in StarterPlayerScripts
local PLAYERS = game:GetService("Players")
local PLAYER = PLAYERS.LocalPlayer
local CHARACTER = PLAYER.Character or PLAYER.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local MOVE_PART = workspace:WaitForChild("MovePart")
local RUN_SERVICE = game:GetService("RunService")
local HMRP = CHARACTER:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")::Part
local REPLICATED_STORAGE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local REMOTE_EVENT = REPLICATED_STORAGE:WaitForChild("MovePartEvent")
local ALIGN_POSSITION = MOVE_PART.AlignPosition
PLAYERS.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player:Player)
REMOTE_EVENT:FireServer(player)
end)
RUN_SERVICE.Stepped:Connect(function(dt)
ALIGN_POSSITION.Position = HMRP.Position
end)
--ServerScript in ServerScriptService
local REPLICATED_STORAGE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local REMOTE_EVENT = REPLICATED_STORAGE:WaitForChild("MovePartEvent")
REMOTE_EVENT.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local MOVE_PART = workspace:WaitForChild("MovePart")
MOVE_PART:SetNetworkOwner(player)
end)
Hmm, is the part Anchored ? Cause from what i know, SetNetworkOwner does not work on Anchored parts. And uh, WaitForChild yields until it finds the chosen object, that PlayerAdded Event.. i doubt if it works as expected as you are already in the game before setting that because of the WaitForChild functions you’re using, and stuff like PlayerAdded doesn’t work pretty well in a local script
In addition to align position properties, what is the context you plan to use this? You can simply use two-attachment method in server script.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local part = game.Workspace.Part
local alignPosition = part.AlignPosition
local partAttach = part.Attachment
local function follow(player)
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HumanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
alignPosition.Attachment0 = partAttach
alignPosition.Attachment1 = HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Attachment")
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(follow)
The reason that it stops following after a couple seconds is because the network owner is being set to back the server (while it was initially set to the player automatically by Roblox). This is because MOVE_PART:SetNetworkOwner(player) is never firing, as the PlayerAdded event in the player is not firing.
The simplest way to fix this, as I assume that the code is more for testing purposes at this point, is to get rid of the client side PlayerAdded event, and instead just have the client side code be
--local script in StarterPlayerScripts
local PLAYERS = game:GetService("Players")
local PLAYER = PLAYERS.LocalPlayer
local CHARACTER = PLAYER.Character or PLAYER.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local MOVE_PART = workspace:WaitForChild("MovePart")
local RUN_SERVICE = game:GetService("RunService")
local HMRP = CHARACTER:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")::Part
local REPLICATED_STORAGE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local REMOTE_EVENT = REPLICATED_STORAGE:WaitForChild("MovePartEvent")
local ALIGN_POSITION = MOVE_PART.AlignPosition
REMOTE_EVENT:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer)
RUN_SERVICE.Stepped:Connect(function(dt)
ALIGN_POSITION.Position = HMRP.Position
end)
Alternatively, have the PlayerAdded event be on the server.
Also, if the player dies, your script will break - you only get the player’s character once (at the start of the script), and the script wont refresh (as it is in StarterPlayerScripts, not StarterCharacterScripts). Either move the script to StarterPlayerScripts, or utilise Player.CharacterAdded
