Teleport a player around a object?

Asked 309 views1 answers

Im trying to teleport a player around a object but i cant get it to work this was my original code (which failed very bad):

function TPPlayer(player, part)
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
	local RandomOriX = math.random(-360, 360)
	local RandomOriY = math.random(-360, 360)
	local RandomOriZ = math.random(-360, 360)
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation = Vector3.new(-90 , -90, -90)
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(part.Position.X, part.Position.Y * part.Size.Y / 2 - 5, part.Position.Z)
end

I then tryed this code but it just doesnt do it right: (this is what happens)

function TPPlayer(player, part)
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
	local playerpos = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
	local partpos = part.Position
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(partpos,playerpos) * CFrame.new(0,0,5)
end

The way i want it is so the player is randomly teleported around the object, so one tome you could be on top of the ball / next you could be underneath it or on left right etc.

A very bad illustration

i will take any help given!

I know a pretty easy method to update the position of something based on the relative position of another thing.

If you do: 

partA.CFrame = CFrame.new(partB.CFrame * Vector3.new())

it takes the part you wanna change (partA, or in your case, the character) and gives it a new position based on the origin of partB (the ball).

So I rigged up a little test script for you to mess around with. You can adjust the values however you like, but its much simpler than the CFrame math you were doing. 

--//StarterCharacterScripts

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
 
local character = script.Parent --parent would be the character
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part") --add a part into workspace, in your case, the ball

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then	
		
		--random values, edit these how you may like. 
		local randomX = math.random(-5, 5)
		local randomY = math.random(-5, 5)
		local randomZ = math.random(-5, 5)
		
		humanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(part.CFrame * Vector3.new(randomX, randomY, randomZ))
	end
end)

Let me know if you need any help. https://gyazo.com/db930049e0abb994c7ec934ab67cb42a

Check out this gif of what it should look like.

Oh and i literally just noticed you said, "The way i want it is so the player is randomly teleported around the object, so one tome you could be on top of the ball / next you could be underneath it or on left right etc." Sigh. Maybe youll still learn something from this hopefully. You can essentially use this code and just add some if-statements to do it.
