Spawn an item in front of player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

If you are printing inside the while loop try putting it before the while loop

#22

found the issue, you miss spelled “Item”.

#23

you must also define your cloned item variable inside the function inside the spawn(function()

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



Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) 
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message) 
if Message == “/a cat” then 
Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Char) 
spawn(function() 
task.wait(3) 
local Item = ServerStorage.ChatSpawnItems.Cat:Clone()
Item.Parent = workspace 
Item:PivotTo(Char.HumanoidRootPart:GetPivot() * CFrame.new(5,0,0))
end) 
end) 
end)
#25

If you want to position something directly in front of the player, use exclusively CFrames and not Vector3, since those are not relative and won’t change their position depending on where the player is looking.

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

(Not really sure if that specific CFrame will put it in front of the character, but you can just change it, pretty much trial and error)

#26

also not sure why you used PlayerAdded event twice.

#27

Because im typing on mobile, i made an error.

#28

Did you set PrimaryPart of your model?

#29

no need to a primarypart as long as we’re using PivotTo

#30

Even with everybodys suggestions its not seeming to work.

local Players = game:GetService(“Players”) 
local ServerStorage = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”) 
local Item = ServerStorage.ChatSpawnItems.Cat:Clone() 

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) 
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message) 
if message == cat then 
print(“Test”) 

Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Char) 
spawn(function() 

item.Parent = workspace 

Item.PiviotTo(Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(5,0,0)) 
end) 
end)
#31 
local Players = game:GetService(“Players”) 
local ServerStorage = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”) 
local Item = ServerStorage.ChatSpawnItems.Cat:Clone() 

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) 
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message) 
if message == "cat" then -- should be "cat"
print(“Test”) 

Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Char) 
spawn(function() 

item.Parent = workspace -- Should be Item.Parent

Item.PivotTo(Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(5,0,0)) 
end) 
end)
#32

you still have some errors.
Change if message == cat then to if message == “cat” then
Item to item
PiviotTo to PivotTo

#33

theres no use for the quotations??? as for the other ill fix that. :+1:

edit: nvm i see it now LOL!

there is actually an use that will return and error, you’re like trying to check if the message is equal to a variable.

#35

The reason it says /a cat is because its supposed to act as a command.

#37

you can still change “cat” to “/a cat”

#38

Even with this nothing happens, sorry. (no errors, no anything.)

#39 
local Players = game:GetService("Players") 
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage") 



Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) 
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
	Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message) 
		if Message == "cat" then 
				spawn(function() 
					local Item = ServerStorage.Cat:Clone()
					Item.Parent = workspace 
					Item:PivotTo(char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 5)
				end)
			end
			end)
	end)
