Can't Teleport a player?

Asked by

6 years ago

I'm trying to teleport a player ~50 studs in front of where the camera is looking at, whenever they double tap the "w" key. I know how to teleport the player and find the direction of the camera (At least I think I'm doing it right, I could be wrong), but I can't seem to put them together without getting the same error:

15:33:11.773 - Players.McQuakyDuck.PlayerGui.LocalScript:37: bad argument #2 to '?' (Vector3 expected, got number)

All the code is in a LocalScript inside of StarterGui

01--Getting the Camera
02game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
03    script.LocalScript:clone().Parent = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
04end)

You are trying to add a number to a lookVector, which is a Vector3, and they can’t be added together. You can only add a Vector3 to a Vector3 or a Vector3 to a CFrame. So, to correctly do this, you need to add the lookVector to another Vector3, not a number. And because lookVector is already a Vector3, you do not need to use Vector3.new(). Here’s how it’s correctly done:

I’d assume you want to add 50 studs on each axis:

01--Getting the Camera
02game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
03    script.LocalScript:clone().Parent = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
04end)   
05

07--Local Variables  
08local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
09local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
10game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
11local Char = player.Character
12local Humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
13local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
14local lastTapTime = 0
15local clicked = false
16local Trail = game.Workspace.Trail:Clone() 
17_G.Energy = 100
18local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
19 
20 
21 
22--Moving the Humanoid
23    --Double Tap
24enabled = true
25Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
26    if not enabled and clicked then
27        return
28    end
29    if key == "w" and _G.Energy >= 25 then
30    enabled = false
31 
32    local function onTap()
33        if tick() - lastTapTime < 0.2 then
34            print("double Click!")
35            clicked = true
36                --What happends when the user double taps
37            player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(cam.CFrame.lookVector + Vector3.new(50, 50, 50))
38            --player.Character.UpperTorso.Velocity = cam.CFrame.lookVector * Vector3.new(1,0,1) * 400
39            Trail.Parent = Char.HumanoidRootPart
40            local attachment0 = Instance.new("Attachment", Char.Head)
41            attachment0.Name = "TrailAttachment0"
42            local attachment1 = Instance.new("Attachment", Char.HumanoidRootPart)
43            attachment1.Name = "TrailAttachment1"
44            Trail.Attachment0 = attachment0
45            Trail.Attachment1 = attachment1
46            wait(0.3)
47            Trail:Remove()
48            --_G.Energy = _G.Energy - 25
49            wait(0.5)  
50            end
51        end

53        onTap()
54        lastTapTime = tick()

56        wait(0.5)
57        enabled = true
58        clicked = false
