Whole Body not moving with Rootpart?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey all! I don’t know if I was under a misconception, or something is really wrong, but recently, I’ve been working on a telekinesis script. One of the main functions of the telekinesis is to hold other players in the air and immobilize them. When I try to hold anyone else, their HumanoidRootPart moves but not the rest of the body. Since moving the HRP isn’t working, I was wondering if there was any other way to move the entire character while keeping the limbs in proper position. Thank you!

Is it a server script or a local script? Are you making elevens powers from stranger things cause i have a feeling you are. Also can you put the script in your post.

  1. Localscript.
  2. Yes, something similar.
  3. Okay. Heres the problematic lines:

The part is the object that is being held.

function IsACharacter(PartSent) -- This function is a little extra because I was getting desprate, but it works
	if PartSent.Parent:IsA("MeshPart") then
		if PartSent.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
 			return true
		else
			return false
		end
	else
		if PartSent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			return true
		else
			return false
		end
	end
end

			if IsACharacter(v) then
				part = v.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			else
				part = v
			end

I dont see where your moving the humanoidrootpart. Edit: i didnt read the first part lol sorry

#5

personally i dont know much on the character so im not sure if i can help you.

local CameraRay = workspace.Camera:ViewportPointToRay(uis:GetMouseLocation().X, uis:GetMouseLocation().Y)

obj.Position = CameraRay.Origin + CameraRay.Direction * 15

The OBJ in this context is the humanoidrootpart

#8

Quick question are you using the mouse to control the telekinesis power?
Also I think the reason only the humanoid root part is moving is because its a local script.

#9

Ill use an event on the server then.
And yes, I am using the mouse however this will be later changed to a keybind

#10

Yeah try that. Adding an event.

#11

Also maybe try player:Getmouse()

Its like client sided exploits. If you delete someones head with client sided scripts. Their not gonna die. Only you see that change, but if you use a server script the server will detect that persons head is gone so they die.

#13

Do not edit the .Position property or else the joints in the character breaks, use CFrame instead.

i believe local scripts don’t work on players server sided due to them being their own client for example i had local script that kills people the person i would kill with local script would only be able to see in my client not anyone elses
