Pls Help with part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Name = "prat"
part.Parent = workspace
part.Anchored = true

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	part.CFrame = char.CFrame
	end)

I need the part to appear under the player and follow him but I can’t figure out how it works. As far as I understand, I don’t need the playeradded function.

I also can’t figure out why the error occurs.

it takes a while for the character and the humanoidrootpart to load in so try using

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local HRP = char.HumanoidRootPart
end)

also this doesn’t achieve your final goal you should use welds for that

I don’t recommend you to use “FindFirstChild()” here as it can return “nil” if it can’t find the humanoidrootpart, go for “WaitForChild()” instead.

CharacterAdded event is fired when players character spawns meaning they will have HumanoidRootPart

#6

Yup! but if he is trying to achieve this from a local script it can actually take a few miliseconds before the client recognizes the humanoidrootpart inside the character.

#7

Why would you use PlayerAdded in a local script when you can just do game.Players.LocalPlayer?

the part appears but not in the humanoidrootpart I think if i change its parent to something other than workspace, it will appear in the player?

#9

You never know, OP seems like a newbie so expect everything

#10

No first of all disable CanCollide property of the part, then create a WeldConstraint and weld the part to the humrp

#11

I feel like beginner would be a more friendly word than newbie, just saying.

#12

newbie, newcomer, fledgling, fledgeling, starter, neophyte, freshman, entrant, beginner, initiate, novice, tiro, tyro; all has the same meaning :slight_smile:
