Help me make a button that spawns a clone?
I have a partial script that reacts when you touch it but i want it to spawn a clone of the player that touches it at a specific location. Any help would be appreciated :P
Here is the script:
01 | local button = game.Workspace.ArenaSpawn |
02 |
03 | local function createclone(other) |
04 | local parent = other.Parent |
05 | if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent)then |
06 |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | button.Touched:connect(createclone) |
Script after doing what i think you told me lol :
01 | local button = game.Workspace.ArenaSpawn |
02 |
03 | local function createclone(player) |
04 | local parent = player.Parent |
05 | --Clone player |
06 | local Clone = parent:Clone() |
07 | Clone.Parent = game.workspace |
08 | Clone:MoveTo(button.Position) |
09 |
10 | end |
11 |
12 | button.Touched:connect(createclone) |

You will have to use :Clone() AbandonedRick 112 — 7y

Here's your current script:
01 | local button = game.Workspace.ArenaSpawn |
02 |
03 | local function createclone(other) |
04 | local parent = other.Parent |
05 | if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent)then |
06 |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | button.Touched:connect(createclone) |
So you would like a script that would create a clone of the player that touches it. Continuing on on your script, you have already started the part on the button being touched. With that part out of the way, here is how you would clone.
In your script, other, is the hit, which would be the body part of the player. Thus, parent, would be the player. I do suggest you change its name to "Player" to avoid confusion. Anyway, in order to clone, you should use Clone() which will be used to clone the player. After cloning, place the clone into workspace. And finally, to move a model, in this case, a clone, you should use MoveTo() to move the clone to your desired location, in this case, the button.
Here's the new edit, find for the one you'd like:
1 This is for one time use every time touched
01 | local button = game.Workspace.ArenaSpawn |
02 | local Done = false |
03 |
04 | local function createclone(other) |
05 | humanoid = other.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
06 | if humanoid and not Done then |
07 | local player = other.Parent |
08 | player.Archivable = true |
09 | --Clone player |
10 | local Clones = player:Clone() |
11 | Clones.Parent = game.Workspace |
12 | Clones:MoveTo(button.Position) |
13 | player.Archivable = false |
14 | Done = true |
15 | end |
16 | end |
17 |
18 | button.Touched:connect(createclone) |
2 This is for many time use with a cool down of one second
01 | local button = game.Workspace.ArenaSpawn |
02 | local Done = false |
03 |
04 | local function createclone(other) |
05 | humanoid = other.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
06 | if humanoid and not Done then |
07 | Done = true |
08 | wait(1) |
09 | local player = other.Parent |
10 | player.Archivable = true |
11 | --Clone player |
12 | local Clones = player:Clone() |
13 | Clones.Parent = game.Workspace |
14 | Clones:MoveTo(button.Position) |
15 | player.Archivable = false |
16 | Done = false |
17 | end |
18 | end |
19 |
20 | button.Touched:connect(createclone) |

Hmmm... I don't seem to be able to spot any errors, could you try replacing the name of the variable other.Parent to local Player = other.Parent? AbandonedRick 112 — 7y

Do remember to change local Clone = parent:Clone() to local Clone = Player.Clone() AbandonedRick 112 — 7y

ok i'll just post the script i have now after doing the corrections that you talked about, like changing the "other" to "player" and stuff sora10056 20 — 7y

Omg thanks man, you're a saint. i've been working on this for hours. this was a really big help, the game i'm trying to make revolves around cloning so i really needed this. i'll definitely be looking over this script to see how it functions so i can maybe learn from it :P sora10056 20 — 7y

No problem! AbandonedRick 112 — 7y
