I want a player's position but it isn't working? Read desc.

Asked 175 views2 answers

So i want if a player moves the position from torso? But it isn't working to even print it... I want that the position is rounded to like 2 and not 2,204049239 ? So could anyone help me? Its a local script and it is in a GUI.

wait()
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character =  player.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
while true do
	script.Parent.PositionReal.Text = math.floor(character.Position.X)",".. math.floor(character.Position.Y) ..",".. math.floor(character.Position.X)
end

error: attempt to call a number value

I'm not sure a changed event works for Position. It doesn't really matter either I think, with animations and such this changes so often you might as well just use a while loop.

You can actually do something like this (though your way is correct)...

character.Changed:Connect(function(property)
	if string.lower(property) == "position" then -- Can't remember if they come in capitalized
		print("X -" ..math.floor(character.Position.X))
		print("Y -" ..math.floor(character.Position.Y))
		print("Z -" ..math.floor(character.Position.Z))
	end
end)

You can use math.floor to round down and math.ceil to round up. You could even use math.modf to split the decimal from the integer which is technically the same as math.floor except that you can keep the decimal for other use.

Try and access the Torso through the workspace.

local playername = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
local playermodel = game.workspace:FindFirstChild(playername)
local Torso = playermodel:FindFirstChild(Torso)
