Dropping backpack on death / Positioning them to the character's HumanoidRootPart Position?

Asked 210 views2 answers

This is what I tried to make but failed:

--I located the character so no worries.

char.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	for i,v in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		v.Handle.Position = char.HumanoidRootPart.Position --Sad face
		v.Parent = workspace
	end
end)

The thing here is that I want the player to drop everything he/she has in their backpack. But Positioning the Handle won't help. Neither is positioning the whole tool because there is no function for that. Any help?

I’m not sure if there is a simpler way, but you could try putting each tool inside a model that you position at the character, and then moving the tool back outside the model once it’s been positioned.

char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	for _,tool in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		if tool:IsA("Tool") and tool:FindFirstChild("Handle") then
			local positionModel = Instance.new("Model")
			tool.Parent = positionModel
			positionModel.PrimaryPart = tool.Handle
			positionModel:MoveTo(char.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
			tool.Parent = workspace
			positionModel:Destroy()
			-- re-welding my be required here
		end
	end
end)

I've found a really nice way to do it on my own.

But thanks for the help! I'll accept your answer
