How to make a model spawn directly in front of a player?

Asked 1,292 views1 answers

So I'm trying to make it that if you press E, there will be a model that should spawn in front of you. I've made it spawn at the player, but I don't know how to make it spawn in front of the player.

I used SetPrimaryPartCFrame to move the model. If I increase the X or Z value it won't work as I want it to because it would only work if I look at a specific direction. So I'm looking for if there's a way I can make it spawn in front of the player regardless which direction they're looking at? Any help is appreciated!

Were you using the player's position or CFrame when setting the model's CFrame?

-- We use the HumanoidRootPart which is a 
-- part that's located inside of the player character

-- Be sure to set this values yourself
local HumanoidRootPart;
local YourModel;

-- This will return a cframe that's infront of the player by 5 studs
local offset = CFrame.new(0,0,-5)
local InfrontOfPlayer = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * offset

YourModel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(InfrontOfPlayer)
