How do I code C-Frame to get player position?

Asked by

I'm making a time stop script for a game I'm working on and need help with C-Framing. I have an Idea as to how to plan it out but not how to do it. How would I code C-Frame position so that it grabs the character's position and adds it to the C-Frame position code?

here the code if it helps:

if orb then
    local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
    orb.Shape = "Cylinder"
    orb.Material = "Neon"
    local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
    weld.Parent = workspace
    weld.Part0 = orb
    weld.Part1 = character.HumanoidRootPart
    orb.Position = Vector3.new (106.59,16.5,-111.73) -- Where to add players position, however these coords are preset to a random location since i couldn't figure out how to get Player Position.

Tbh, when freezing the player its just best to anchor their parts, also, you're creating stuff from the client, making it only replicate to the client and not the server seeing you used LocalPlayer  mixgingengerina10 223 — 4y

Hope this helps:

if orb then
    local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
    orb.Shape = "Cylinder"
    orb.Material = "Neon"
    local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
    weld.Parent = workspace
    weld.Part0 = orb
    weld.Part1 = character.HumanoidRootPart
    if player.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso") == nil then --checks to see if player is r15
        orb.Position = Vector3.new (player.Character.LowerTorso.Position.X,player.Character.LowerTorso.Position.Y,player.Character.LowerTorso.Position.Z)
    else --this is what happens if r6
        orb.Position = Vector3.new (player.Character.Torso.Position.X,player.Character.Torso.Position.Y,player.Character.Torso.Position.Z)
    end

First of all, you would want to do this in a server side script. Else the teleportation will only affect the client. To get the player position, simply use:

if charactert then
    orb.CFrame = CFrame.new(character.Position)
end

Hope this helped! ????

Sort of; I see where you are going with the character.Position but when I run the script, I get error 13:24:08.385 - ServerScriptService.BeamSummonEmit:2: attempt to index nil with 'Character'. Is there any way to get around this? I've heard that the character isnt seen serverside. Crimsonknightzone 38 — 4y

For some reason, the part spawns at the map Origin... How could i fix this? Crimsonknightzone 38 — 4y
