Upon joining my game, your character will appear sideways visually. How do I fix this?

Asked 190 views1 answers

You can still move around normally, but the character is at a 90° angle. It fixes once you die. Here is the script I believe is the problem. My game is an obby, and this script helps run the checkpoint system:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local stage = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Stage
		plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		repeat wait() until plr.Character ~= nil
		wait(0.01)
		local checkpoint = game.Workspace.Stages:FindFirstChild(stage.Value)
		char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(checkpoint.Position + Vector3.new(0,5,0), checkpoint.Position)
		char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Orientation = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
		wait(0.1)
	end)
end)

I see the problem. It is a bit difficult to understand, but I will show you what is wrong. Starting on Line 7, it says CFrame.new(checkpoint.Position + Vector3.new(0,5,0)Also, don't put anything inside of here like you did.)

Problem 1)

On line 7 you did + Vector3.new. This is wrong, you need to do this:

 char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(checkpoint.Position 
 * Vector3.new(PROBLEM TO FIX LATER), checkpoint.Position)
  1. You need to change the way your CFrame is:
char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position * checkpoint.Position)

You may also find when you are using CFrame and editing a Vector3 Value that it isn't working with straight numbers. That is because CFrame works in Radiants. Follow this example to convert Radiants to degrees in your code:

Vector3.new(0,math.rad(5), 0)

If something is still wrong, remove line 8.

Good job with your script! Keep believing you can make a big thing out of this, and you will!
