Why this script doesn't work?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I was practicing on how to move the player when a key is activated (move the Z axis a bit) but first I tried it with a part but:

local part = script.Parent 
local antcframe = part.CFrame.Z
wait(20) 
print("listoooooooooo")
part.CFrame.Z = antcframe + CFrame.new(CFrame.new(013.831 ) )

It didn’t work and I tried it with VectorZ even but nothing works please help me

#2

Your CFrame.new has invalid syntax, CFrame.new() takes a single Vector3 as an input, and a Vector3 takes 3 numbers as an input, also, you cannot set the Z value of a CFrame’s position, also, to read the position of a CFrame you need to do part.CFrame.Position.

Making this particular script work should be as easy as changing

part.CFrame.Z = antcframe + CFrame.new(CFrame.new(013.831 ) )

to

part.CFrame = antcframe+CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,13.831))

And maybe decreasing that wait(20) so you don’t have to wait 20 seconds every time you try to test it.

#3

Have you checked the output. There has to be some kind of error indicating what isn’t working.

#4

It doesn’t seem to work with the changes:

local part = game.Workspace.part
local antcframe = part.CFrame
wait(5) 
print("listoooooooooo")

part.CFrame = antcframe+CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,13.831))

It tells me in the output that I should remove the CFrame and put a vector in its place but it still doesn’t work

#5 
local part = game.Workspace.part
local antcframe = part.CFrame.Z
wait(5) 
print("listoooooooooo")

part.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,13.831 + antcframe))

I’m not positive this will work but I think it should. If not let me know (I think your issue was you were adding a Z of a Vector3 to a CFrame)

#6

It didn’t work for me but I did something similar that did work for me:

local part = game.Workspace.part
local antcframe = part.CFrame
wait(5) 
print("listoooooooooo")

part.CFrame = antcframe + CFrame.new(0,0,017.123)

But now I need to know how to add the Z axis frontally, since if the part (HumanoidRootPart) is from another angle then it goes backwards or I don’t know but what I do know is that it doesn’t work for me if you know how please

#7

Use multiplication instead of addition to have it be based on where the part is facing

#8

would be this: *?
And how more or less would I do it and how does it work?

#9

Yes it would be *

When you multiply CFrames it moves based on the rotation. So

HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-10)

Would move the player 10 studs away from where they are facing
