I am trying to fix my script so that the rocket launcher works even when the player is teleported.
When the player is teleported the rocket launcher breaks and sends a missile from a different location. The missiles are supposed to be launched from 5 studs above the player, but they are being launched hundreds of studs away from the player.
So far I have tried changing the variables and adding print statements to see what the issue is, but I haven’t had much luck.
-----------------
--| Constants |--
-----------------
local GRAVITY_ACCELERATION = workspace.Gravity
local RELOAD_TIME = 0.5 -- Seconds until tool can be used again
local ROCKET_SPEED = 100 -- Speed of the projectile
local MISSILE_MESH_ID = 'http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=2251534'
local MISSILE_MESH_SCALE = Vector3.new(0.35, 0.35, 0.25)
local ROCKET_PART_SIZE = Vector3.new(1.2, 1.2, 3.27)
-----------------
--| Variables |--

local DebrisService = game:GetService('Debris')
local PlayersService = game:GetService('Players')
local MyPlayer
local Tool = script.Parent
local ToolHandle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local MouseLoc = Tool:WaitForChild("MouseLoc",10)
local RocketScript = script:WaitForChild('Rocket')
local SwooshSound = script:WaitForChild('Swoosh')
local BoomSound = script:WaitForChild('Boom')
--NOTE: We create the rocket once and then clone it when the player fires
local Rocket = Instance.new('Part') do
-- Set up the rocket part
Rocket.Name = 'Rocket'
Rocket.FormFactor = Enum.FormFactor.Custom --NOTE: This must be done before changing Size
Rocket.Size = ROCKET_PART_SIZE
Rocket.CanCollide = false
-- Add the mesh
local mesh = Instance.new('SpecialMesh', Rocket)
mesh.MeshId = MISSILE_MESH_ID
mesh.Scale = MISSILE_MESH_SCALE
-- Add fire
local fire = Instance.new('Fire', Rocket)
fire.Heat = 5
fire.Size = 2
-- Add a force to counteract gravity
local bodyForce = Instance.new('BodyForce', Rocket)
bodyForce.Name = 'Antigravity'
bodyForce.Force = Vector3.new(0, Rocket:GetMass() * GRAVITY_ACCELERATION, 0)
-- Clone the sounds and set Boom to PlayOnRemove
local swooshSoundClone = SwooshSound:Clone()
swooshSoundClone.Parent = Rocket
local boomSoundClone = BoomSound:Clone()
boomSoundClone.PlayOnRemove = true
boomSoundClone.Parent = Rocket
-- Attach creator tags to the rocket early on
local creatorTag = Instance.new('ObjectValue', Rocket)
creatorTag.Value = MyPlayer
creatorTag.Name = 'creator' --NOTE: Must be called 'creator' for website stats
local iconTag = Instance.new('StringValue', creatorTag)
iconTag.Value = Tool.TextureId
iconTag.Name = 'icon'
-- Finally, clone the rocket script and enable it
local rocketScriptClone = RocketScript:Clone()
rocketScriptClone.Parent = Rocket
rocketScriptClone.Disabled = false
end

local function OnActivated()
local myModel = MyPlayer.Character
if Tool.Enabled and myModel and myModel:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") and myModel.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
Tool.Enabled = false
local Pos = MouseLoc:InvokeClient(MyPlayer)
-- Create a clone of Rocket and set its color
local rocketClone = Rocket:Clone()
DebrisService:AddItem(rocketClone, 30)
rocketClone.BrickColor = MyPlayer.TeamColor
-- Position the rocket clone and launch!
local spawnPosition =Tool.Handle.Position + Vector3.new(0,5,0) -- HERE IS WHERE THE SCRIPT BREAKS.
-- i (believe) the the missiles are being launched from where the player was teleported from compared to the players current torso pos (and +5 y)
print(spawnPosition)
rocketClone.CFrame = CFrame.new(spawnPosition, Pos) --NOTE: This must be done before assigning Parent
rocketClone.Velocity = rocketClone.CFrame.lookVector * ROCKET_SPEED --NOTE: This should be done before assigning Parent
rocketClone.Parent = workspace
rocketClone:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
wait(RELOAD_TIME)
Tool.Enabled = true
end
end
function OnEquipped()
MyPlayer = PlayersService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Tool.Parent)
end

Tool.Equipped:Connect(OnEquipped)
Tool.Activated:Connect(OnActivated)
In short, what is breaking the script when the player teleports? Help would be greatly appreciated. It’s worth noting that this is happening to every item that creates a new instance in the game. The new instance is always placed in a seemingly random position in the sky.
