Hello! Im making a GUI that spawns a part and the position of the part goes Is basically the player Itself, however the problem Is the part doesn't teleport (Or goes) to the player Itself, this Is the script:



script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function(plr)
    local Part = Instance.new("Part")
    Part.Size = Vector3.new(4.01, 5.464, 2.519)
    Part.Parent = game.Workspace
    Part.Position = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
end)

You need to define plr, and you need a remote event so that you can transfer the data to the server Frometa1998 35 — 3y

MouseButton1Down does not return a plr. Therefore, you can use game.Players.LocalPlayer

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

Remove 'plr' line 1.

It should be:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    local Part = Instance.new("Part")
    Part.Size = Vector3.new(4.01, 5.464, 2.519)
    Part.Parent = game.Workspace
    Part.Position = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
end)

You need a remote to do this. Use A RemoteEvent in Replicated Storage, Fire it from your TextButton, and make the actual script in ServerScriptService. Make sure the script in ServerScriptService isnt a localscript.

TextButton Script:


REM = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function(plr)
    REM:FireServer(REM)
end)

ServerScriptService Script:

REM = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
REM.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    local Part = Instance.new("Part")
    Part.Size = Vector3.new(4.01, 5.464, 2.519)
    Part.Parent = game.Workspace
    local LP = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    Part.Position = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Position

end)
