Why isn't my hat giver working?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I am working on a hat giver for my game, but the hat will not move to the players head, can someone explain why please?

function GiveHat(Character)
	Character.Humanoid:RemoveAccessories()
	
	local HatCFrame = CFrame.new(Character.Head.Position)
	local LookAt = CFrame.lookAt(Character.Head.Position, Character.Head.CFrame.LookVector)
	local MainCFrame = CFrame.new(HatCFrame, LookAt)
	
	local HatToGive = script.Parent.Main:Clone() HatToGive.Parent = Character
	HatToGive:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(MainCFrame)
end

Thanks for any help

Your console might be able to explain why; and if not, then you should be able to do that. We can’t exactly handle the explaining part for you, that’s on you. We need context so we can better help you. Why does your hat giver not work? What’s the exact problem? Also, have you tried applying any basic debugging if it happens to be a script issue?

Script:8: invalid argument #1 to ‘new’ (Vector3 expected, got CFrame)

try this

function GiveHat(Character)
	Character.Humanoid:RemoveAccessories()
	
	local HatCFrame = Vector3.new(Character.Head.Position)
	local LookAt = CFrame.lookAt(Character.Head.Position, Character.Head.CFrame.LookVector)
	local MainCFrame = CFrame.new(HatCFrame, LookAt)
	
	local HatToGive = script.Parent.Main:Clone() HatToGive.Parent = Character
	HatToGive:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(MainCFrame)
end

CFrame.lookAt() also gives a position:

local function GiveHat(Character)
	Character.Humanoid:RemoveAccessories()
	local MainCFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Character.Head.Position, Character.Head.CFrame.LookVector)

	local HatToGive = script.Parent.Main:Clone() 
    HatToGive.Parent = Character
	HatToGive:PivotTo(MainCFrame)
end

Also, sorry for my late reply, my studio crashed so I had to wait for a while to close it

In all honesty, you’re making it too complicated.
Literally just use a MainCFrame *= CFrame.Angles(math.rad(x), math.rad(y), math.rad(z)).

Anywhere under the MainCFrame variable.

X, Y, Z must be customized to your liking. It is rotation.
