Dragons spawning waay off where supposed to

[solid smelt]

okay so i have this script
but some dragons spawn at like -510 y position like waaaay under the map does it have smth to do with primary part or position
script is too long so heres a paste bin https://pastebin.com/6CJwwWic

Not really, but i think you need a different formula on how you spawn it ^^

or you could just use raycasts to get the ground, and spawn it there

idk how tho me still bad

and im in the middle of a 7 days challenge

I would’ve utilised raycasts to determine the Y ((x/z pos -> top of spawn zone, shoot ray down, result.Pos.Y + (half of model Y height).

I assume that the loop you’re currently using somehow fails to get baseparts, so lowest Y = math.huge. Any y pos - math.huge = way under the map. A debug print should confirm/deny this

I understood almost nothing here as i havent learned ray casting yet and is still new what do i change with my script 😭🙏🏻

Read the last part again

[solid smelt]

I still dont quite get it i have read it a couple of times now

So, the lowesty defaults to math.huge. say it stays there. Then what happens to the rest of the code?

[cedar willow]

why in getLowestY:

local function getLowestY(model)
local lowestY = math.huge
for _, part in ipairs(model:GetDescendants()) do
if part:IsA("BasePart") then
local partBottomY = part.Position.Y - (part.Size.Y / 2)
if partBottomY < lowestY then
lowestY = partBottomY
end
end
end
return lowestY
end
You need for cycle?
You putting in there only one part/model which need to be teleported. I tried with it, spawning in -inf. I Removed for cycle:
local function getLowestY(model)
local lowestY = math.huge
local partBottomY = model.Position.Y - (model.Size.Y / 2)
if partBottomY < lowestY then
lowestY = partBottomY
end
return lowestY
end
And spawning correctly

[solid smelt]

Position is not a valid member of Model "DarkBlueDragon"

it tells me now

[solid smelt]

i dont really get what the low y thing means bcuz i had chat gpt help me since im still new

[solid smelt]

@left gazelle ```lua
local function getLowestY(model)
return -model:GetExtentsSize().Y
end

holy shit

i forgot to anchor spawningzone

...

well good news problem fixed
