Car not getting placed in workspace?

Asked 170 views2 answers

When I click a textbutton, I want "Koenigsegg One:1" to clone into workspace and hover over the player that click the button head, it does not clone though.

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
		plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
			local C = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cars:WaitForChild("Koenigsegg One:1"):Clone()
			C.Parent = game.Workspace
			C:MoveTo(char.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(3, 0, 3))
		end)
	end)
end)

Thanks if you help me :)

PlayerAdded doesn't work in a localscript.

This is a normal script though

It doesn't clone because you never actually clone it. You just connect the events (Player- and CharacterAdded). But you don't need the events, just get rid of them. And you should ALWAYS use a LocalScript when working with GUIs.

This is a GUI, you use localscripts for GUIs. Make your script a local script then use the script bellow, under the script is the explanation. 

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until plr.Character -- wait for player to not be nil, then make the variable of it bellow
local char = plr.Character

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
         local C = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cars:WaitForChild("Koenigsegg One:1"):Clone()
         C.Parent = game.Workspace
         C:MoveTo(char.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(3, 0, 3))
end)

You were using Events in an event in an event, two of which (PlayerAdded/CharacterAdded) wouldn't fire just because you press the button. I'm not even sure what would happen. Comment any questions if you need further explanations or errors occur!

The car is anchored when it is not suppose to be.

Using localscripts would speed up things..
