I need to know how to make a part teleport closer or atleast CFrame closer to a player, This is very hard for me thanks for the help

my attempt

1while true do
2wait()
3script.Parent.Position =
4 Vector3.new(+workspace.tele.Position,+workspace.tele.Position,+wokspace.tele.Position) )
5end

try using TweenService ? I don't know if thats what you need but it may work alivemaeonman 14 — 5y

Yeah, TweenService would probably be your best bet. NickIsANuke 217 — 5y

You several options. Option 1: TweenService - TweenService would be used if you want to change a property of a part gradually.

Option 2: Lerp - Lerp would ideally be used to move something back and forth, but this is not the only functionality of Lerp.

Option 3: BodyMovers - BodyMovers are nice for projectiles, but can potentially lag.

TweenService - To use TweenService, you'd first have to initialize TweenService.

`1`	`local` `tweenService` `=` `game:GetService("TweenService");`

Then, you'd want to create a new TweenInfo. You could even have a default one just by having the parameter be TweenInfo.new(), but lets create one.

`1`	`local` `tweenInfo` `=` `TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut);` `-- You can change these to however you want.`

You can find more info on TweenInfo.new() here: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/datatype/TweenInfo

Now, we need to create a new Tween, and make it for the part.

1local Goal = {
2  CFrame = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0); -- Change this CFrame.new(0, 0, 0); to the position of the player's character's HumanoidRootPart, then if you want it to have an offset, multiply.
3}
4 
5local Tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, Goal);
6 
7Tween:Play(); 

Full code:

1local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService");
2local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut); -- You can change these to however you want.
3local Goal = {
4  CFrame = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0); -- Change this CFrame.new(0, 0, 0); to the position of the player's character's HumanoidRootPart, then if you want it to have an offset, multiply.
5}
6 
7local Tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, Goal);
8 
9Tween:Play(); 

Now, you'd probably want to incorporate this into a loop. If you're using a LocalScript, use the .RenderStepped event of RunService (more info here: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/RunService/RenderStepped)

If you're using a ServerScript for whatever reason, use a while wait() do loop. I personally think AlvinBlox covered it nice enough here: https://youtu.be/qgGDwTn0zgo

For Option 3 (BodyMovers), you could use AlignPosition, or BodyPosition. I personally would suggest using AlignPosition.

Please mark this as the answer/upvote if I've helped you with your question, and feel free to ask any questions in the comments.

This is good tho, I feel my grammar sucks so much, also upvoted Xapelize 2658 — 5y
