You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
Place blocks/items within a users plot for it to save & restore back to any plot selected.
-
It places it way off the plot so not sure why it’s not picking it up.
-
Read through alot and tried a few diffrenet approaches, But not sure what else todo.
Here is my placeblock script etc:
--serverside script
-- Event handler for block placement
local function onPlaceEvent(player, blockName, position, rotation)
print("onPlaceEvent triggered", player.Name, blockName, position, rotation)
-- Retrieve the player's plot
local plotIdentifier = playerPlots[player.UserId]
if not plotIdentifier then
warn("Plot identifier not found for the player: " .. player.Name)
return
end
local plot = game.Workspace.Plots:FindFirstChild(plotIdentifier)
if not plot then
warn("Plot not found: " .. plotIdentifier)
return
end
local blockFound = findBlockInGroups(ReplicatedStorage.Builder, blockName)
if blockFound then
-- Proceed with placement logic
else
warn("Block not found: ", blockName)
end
-- Find the block model to place
local blockToPlace = findBlockInGroups(ReplicatedStorage.Builder, blockName) -- Adjust path as necessary
if not blockToPlace then
warn("Block not found: " .. blockName)
return
end
blockToPlace = blockToPlace:Clone()
-- Calculate the correct placement position relative to the plot
local plotCFrame = plot.CFrame
local worldPosition = plotCFrame:PointToWorldSpace(position) -- Convert local position to world position
local worldRotation = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(rotation.X), math.rad(rotation.Y), math.rad(rotation.Z))
-- Set the block's position and parent
blockToPlace:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(worldPosition) * worldRotation)
blockToPlace.Parent = plot
-- Ensure the block is anchored
for _, part in pairs(blockToPlace:GetDescendants()) do
if part:IsA("BasePart") then
part.Anchored = true
end
end
-- Optionally update the player's blocks list and perform further checks
print("Block placed successfully:", blockName, "at", worldPosition)
end
placeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onPlaceEvent)
