How do I clone a tool and make it appear 2 studs in-front of me?

Asked 215 views1 answers

I would like to create a script which allows me to press the key "C" and it will clone what ever item I am holding!

I have managed to do that however, I would like it so when I clone the tool it appears 2 studs in-front of me instead of cloning and just ending up in my Backpack.

Heres the code I have already:

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
	for _, child in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:GetChildren()) do
    if child.ClassName == 'Tool' then
	C = child:Clone()
    C.Parent = game.Workspace
        
    end
end

        
    end
end)

Thank you for your help.

For a position 2 studs infront of you, you can use the following:

local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- Get player
local c = p.Character or p.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- Get Character
local t = c.Torso or c.Head or nil -- Get a part from the character
local Tool = --Your tool clone here
local STUDS_DISTANCE = 2 -- Distance in Studs

if t and Tool then -- Check if Torso / head & Tool exist
	--Set the Tools cframe - MAKE SURE YOUR TOOL HAS A "HANDLE"
	Tool.Handle.CFrame = t.CFrame + t.CFrame.lookVector * STUDS_DISTANCE
else
	--No torso / head / tool exists.
	warn("Tool or Character nil!")
end
