Positioning a part at a the correct floor level

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi! As of today, I’ve started to learn how to program in LUAU, and I’m having quite a bit of difficulty determining how I’d make this part stay at a fixed position below (even when jumping) once parented to the folder workspace.

–This is how its put into the workspace normally.

–This is it being shown higher up after jumping

I have looked on the developer forums and the developer hub, but cant seem to find the correct thing I’m looking for. This is possibly due to the fact I have no idea what key words I’m searching for
I have tried adding this onto where the part is positioned at the HumanoidRootPart, but this still doesnt solve the issue when jumping:

CopiedPart.CFrame = HmndRP.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,-2,0)

(This is what it looks like with that implemented)

(and now when jumping and activating)

This is the code in question!

Perfectly aware my code isnt efficient at all, and I’m open to hear ways I can improve it!

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local AreaDmgTrigger = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("AreaDmgTrigger")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local TweenTimer = TweenInfo.new(2)

local AreaDamage = script:WaitForChild("Meshes").AreaDamagePos
local EndPoint = {}
EndPoint.Size = Vector3.new(1, 27, 29)

AreaDmgTrigger.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	
	local Character = player.Character
	local Hmnd = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local HmndRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local EffectHolder = Instance.new("Folder",workspace)
	local CopiedPart = AreaDamage:Clone()
	
	local tweeningPart = TweenService:Create(CopiedPart,TweenTimer,EndPoint)
	
	CopiedPart.Parent = EffectHolder
	CopiedPart.CFrame = HmndRP.CFrame
	CopiedPart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,0,-90)
	
	wait(0.5)
	
	tweeningPart:Play()
	
	tweeningPart.Completed:Connect(function()
		wait(1)
		print("TweeningPartCompleted")
		EffectHolder:Destroy()
		
	end)
	
	
	
	
end)

Thanks in advance! – Remnants :).

I am assuming you want the red part to be at foot level of the player, The issue is that ur using the server character position, so because the character is locally owned that means there will be latency in the position property, there isn’t really a good method to fix this on the server side because there will always be latency (Welds might work)

I suggest doing this on a local script, and if you want it to replicate then use a remote event to fire to server , then have the server fire to other clients to replicate the same behavior

Well if you jump you must update the part position and you arent doing this,
simply this would be an example of constantly updating the part’s position:

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
      part.Position = character.PrimaryPart.Position - Vector3.new(0, 2, 0) 
end

Ah alright, thank you! Definitely does seem a bit complicated for the level of work I’m checking out right now so I might have to postpone what I’m wanting to do until I get a better understanding of what’s truly going on.
