I am trying to get "found"'s torso to be teleported to a spawnpoint, but "found" is a variable for player! here is my script

found = workspace:findFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name)

while true do
wait(0.1)
Workspace.found.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Workspace.Spawners.WhiteSpawn.Position + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0))

Please help!!! Thank you!!! P.S. This is not the full script, as I do not the rest of the script is the problem

I'll assume that you do define found somewhere in the script and it equals some Player object. Your problem is the dots.

In Roblox, the dot (.) searches for a child or property by name. If you have a Part in workspace named "Part", you can access it easily;

workspace.Part

while if it's named "LaParte" you must access it with this new name.

workspace.LaParte

When going through hierarchies with dots, Roblox ignores any variable that might match the name, and searches normally.

local base = workspace.BasePlate
print(workspace.base) --> error: base is not a valid member of workspace

and even,

local base = workspace.BasePlate.Name
print(workspace.base) --> error: base is not a valid member of workspace

When using dots, all variables are irrelevant.

If found equals a Player object, you can simply use the Character property owned by all Players.

found.Character
