Why my R15 root join tilt script isn't working?

I would like to tilt my character like this: https://gfycat.com/amazingharmoniousbarb

My script is works perfectly with R6 characters, but not with R15 characters.

I don’t understand why, I’m pretty sure LowerTorso.Root is the R15 equivalent for HumanoidRootPart.RootJoint… What could be wrong with my script? :thinking:

local char = script.Parent
local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local tilt = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-90), 0, 0)

if humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 then
	local root = char:WaitForChild("LowerTorso"):WaitForChild("Root")
	
	root.C1 = root.C1 * tilt
else
	local rootJoint = hrp:WaitForChild("RootJoint")
	
	rootJoint.C1 = rootJoint.C1 * tilt
end

If you’re using motor6d. Then you must use in local scripts (if im right since i rarely used motor6d)

For some reason, adding a wait() at the beginning of the script fixed the problem!

which wait part you are placing in?

It’s the same script as before, but with a wait() at the beginning.

I discovered this solution from another topic (I sould’ve searched more before creating this topic lol): https://devforum.roblox.com/t/r15-character-not-tilting/181885

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local tilt = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-90), 0, 0)

if humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 then
	local root = char:WaitForChild("LowerTorso"):WaitForChild("Root")
	root.C1 = root.C1 * tilt
else
	local rootJoint = hrp:WaitForChild("RootJoint")
	rootJoint.C1 = rootJoint.C1 * tilt
end

Is this a local script? If so define player using “game.Players.LocalPlayer” and get the character from that. I’m assuming this is a local script inside the StarterCharacterScripts folder.

#7

Nope, it’s a server script.
If it was a local script then it wouldn’t be visible for the other players.

#8

The player’s character model replicates to the server but you mentioned it’s a server script so “game.Players.LocalPlayer” wouldn’t be valid anyhow.

#9

Normally yes, but an admin on another topic said it won’t in this case.

#10

Is the script being cloned into the character?

#11

Yes, it is placed into StarterCharacterScripts.

#12

Server scripts don’t execute when placed in the StarterCharacterScripts folder. They need to be parented elsewhere, like the workspace/ServerScriptService folders etc.
