PivotTo() Not pivoting players character model

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m currently working on a transforming ability where a player presses a button which fires a remote event on the server. Everything is working apart from when I use PivotTo(). The players character turns to a 90 degree default rotation. I’ve used MoveTo() and tried seperatly moving the rotation but nothing seems to work. I am using PivotTo() on other models and that seems to be working but I am stuck on trying to get this script to work:

game.ReplicatedStorage.MainGameRemoteEvents.TransformMonster.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, rotation)
	print(rotation)
	if Player.Character.Name == "Monster" then
		local character = game.ReplicatedStorage.Characters[Player.Name] -- Get the original character
		character.Parent = workspace -- Set the character to the workspace
		character.UpperTorso.CFrame = Player.Character.UpperTorso.CFrame
		local vector = Player.Character -- Get the position of the monster
		Player.Character.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage -- Set the monster to Replicated Storage
		Player.Character = character -- Set the players character to the character
		Player.Character:PivotTo(vector.PrimaryPart.CFrame) -- Move the original character to the players position
	else
		local monster = game.ReplicatedStorage.Characters.Monster:Clone() -- Clone the monster
		monster.Parent = workspace -- Set the monster to the workspace
		monster.UpperTorso.CFrame = Player.Character.UpperTorso.CFrame
		local vector = Player.Character -- Get the position of the original character
		local character = Player.Character:Clone()  
		character.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Characters-- Set the players character to Replicated Storage
		Player.Character = monster -- Set the players character to the monster
		Player.Character:PivotTo(vector.PrimaryPart.CFrame) -- Move the monster to the players position
	end
end)

I would use Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):MoveTo(vector.PrimaryPart.Position)

EDIT: I didn’t read you already used this, sorry, is it anchored?

Might be an issue with the fact that you are trying to Pivot it right after setting it to a different model (just a guess), you could try pivoting it first then changing the model.

Man, you might actually be right

I’ve placed the PivotTo() before I change the players character and It still has the same issue.

#6

Try commenting the line out where you change the players character, and try it like that. Also, does it happen in both statements?

#7

It happens if both statements, what do you mean by commenting the line out?

#8

Like not changing the players character, remove that line (or comment it out by putting two -'s infront of it)

#9

That seems to fix the issue but I’m not controlling the player because I don’t change it

#10

Try pivoting the player, waiting like .5 seconds and then setting his character

#11

The character still resets its rotation, I can see the character spawning with the correct rotation but then their rotation resets.
