Spawn an item in front of player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a chat script that when a certain thing is said,

A picked item spawns right in front of the player.

This is the problem im stuck on because i do not know how to get it in front of the player. Any help is greatly appreciated. :+1:

you have to set its CFrame to for example :

YourObject.CFrame = HRP.CFrame + Vector3.new(2,0,0)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Char)
		spawn(function()
			while true do
				task.wait(3)
				local item = Storage:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword"):Clone()
				item.Parent = workspace
				item.Handle.CFrame =Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(5,0,0)
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

or:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")


Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Char)
		spawn(function()
			while true do
				task.wait(3)
				local item = Storage:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword"):Clone()
				item.Parent = workspace
				item.Handle.CFrame = Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame*CFrame.new(Vector3.new(5,0,0))
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

This would return you an error.

Does not seem to be doing anything at all, no errors.

 local Players = game:GetService(“Players”) 
local ServerStorage = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”) 

local item = ServerStorage.ChatSpawnItems.Cat 

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) 
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message) 
If Message == “/a cat” then 
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() 
Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Char) 
spawn(function() 
task.wait(3) 
Item.Parent = workspace 
Item.CFrame = Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame*Cframe.new(Vector3.new(5,0,0)) 
end) 
end) 
end)

Also, its a model, not an actual tool.

since its a model this will work.
this will work for models/baseparts

YourObject:PivotTo(Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(5,0,0))

All i did was change line 14, and replaced item.Cframe etc to yours.

Item:PivotTo(Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(5,0,0))

Instead if PivotTo try MoveTo(Char.HumanoidRootPart.Position

no need to use that since PivotTo just works fine.

#12

MoveTo might work since it spawns on top of everything in it’s way, since PivotTo might be spawning a bit below the ground

#13

Both of the methods dont even enter the model in workspace. Its not your ideas i think its that its not going in workspace.

#14

did you do exactly like this?

Item:PivotTo(Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(5,0,0))
#15

twice now! As i said its not that, its that the model isnt going in workspace period.

#16

Try printing the model.
And also are you doing this on server or local script?

#17

try removing the spawn function.

Wont print it. So that must be the issue somehow.

#20
