Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

heres the main menu script, how would I modify it so that it teleports the player?
i just don’t know how to define the player

--variables
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local PlayButton = script.Parent.PlayButton 
local UpdateLogButton = script.parent.UpdateLogButton  
local MainFrame = script.Parent
local ChangeLogFrame = script.Parent.Parent.ChangeLog
local ChangeLogButton = script.Parent.UpdateLogButton
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://117431027'

PlayButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	MainFrame.Visible = false
-- define player
Player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(-819, 0.5, -51)
	char.Humanoid.Health = 0
	wait(0.5)
	Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson
end)

UpdateLogButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	ChangeLogFrame.Visible = true
end)

Isn’t is just HumanoidRootPart.Position? That’s what I use to walk and run.

Watching and learning.

yeah but you still have to define the player
like player.character.blah blah blah

#4

You already define the player at the top plr
so just do plr.character.PrimaryPart.CFrame = cframe.new

#5

Try this script:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until plr.Character
local char = plr.Character
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local PlayButton = script.Parent.PlayButton 
local UpdateLogButton = script.Parent.UpdateLogButton  
local MainFrame = script.Parent
local ChangeLogFrame = script.Parent.Parent.ChangeLog
local ChangeLogButton = script.Parent.UpdateLogButton
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
mouse.Icon = 'rbxassetid://117431027'

PlayButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	MainFrame.Visible = false
	char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new() --put position in ()
	char.Humanoid.Health = 0
	wait(0.5)
	Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson
end)

UpdateLogButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	ChangeLogFrame.Visible = true
end)

player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(-819, 0.5, -51) should be

Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(-819, 0.5, -51)

I think you need to define the Player also

You could also replace “Player” with plr

i think that would just teleport player’s camera

Due to how Roblox replication works, you can technically teleport the local player (whilst ill advised) on the client.

To teleport a player, you need to move the PrimaryPart of their character, which is called the “HumanoidRootPart”. You can either set it’s CFrame or Position.

I would suggest setting the CFrame, as that considers factors like orientation and such.
The way I would suggest is using SetPrimaryPartCFrame

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(workspace.Part.CFrame)

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any other help. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

HumanoidRootPart is attached to Character (aka char)

Now, the fun part is I always have to put wait(1) before calling the character. For some reason, WaitForChild doesn’t like my Character.

#10

“CharacterAdded” may be the command I was missing… will test.

#11

well eh when i moved humanrootpart when playtesting, it teleports the camera

#12

That shouldn’t happen - are you sure you are setting the HumanoidRootPart of the player’s character?

#13

You are setting health to 0. Didn’t you just kill your character?

you need to set the HRP at a height of at least the hip height (variable stored in Humanoid). I’d go a little higher, and let physics drop em in.
