Character flungs into sky after respawn-reset

[hollow pumice]

Hello, i have noticed that my character sometimes not always flungs into the sky or some random position when they die or reset. What can cause this issue. Is it maybe cause of my teleport handling ?

What is this script for?

Why do you need to tp players?

Also when do you call this function?

Also for position you should use vector3 Imo

[north barn]

⁨randomSpawn.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 2, 0)⁩ is probably not going to have the results you wanted

[maiden wasp]

Was about to say that lol

[hollow pumice]

I am teleporting all players to random position when a specific button is clicked

[maiden wasp]

I'd recommend using vector3 or just random spawn.CFrame

Ur first issue is probably not to do with this script

Or if it is it's with the pivot to

[north barn]

record this 'flinging' and 'teleporting into the sky' maybe?

[hollow pumice]

I found it guys! It was this script:

⁨```lua
local playSoundForLocalPlayer = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("PlaySoundForLocalPlayer")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local debounce = {}

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local character = hit.Parent
if character and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if humanoidRootPart and player and not debounce[player] then
local isPlayerInMap = character:FindFirstChild("PlayerInMap")

        if isPlayerInMap then
            if isPlayerInMap.Value == true then
                isPlayerInMap.Value = false
            end
        end
        
        debounce[player] = true

        -- Teleport player
        humanoidRootPart.Position = game:GetService("Workspace"):WaitForChild("LobbyTeleporter").Position + Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
        playSoundForLocalPlayer:FireClient(player, script:WaitForChild("SplashWaterEffectSound"))

        task.delay(2, function()
            debounce[player] = false
        end)                
    end
end

end)

** You are now Level 7! **

[north barn]

yep that'd do it

[hollow pumice]

It is better using character:PivotTo instead of humanoidRootPart i guess

[maiden wasp]

Yuh

Or use cframe

Or vector 3

[north barn]

wat no it's because you're setting the position of the part instead of cframe

directly setting part.position unwelds/unconstrains the part during the move, so offsets change. you're left with a character whose root part can be very far away from the rest of the actual character

[hollow pumice]

ohhhh

[maiden wasp]

Yeah pivot to or cframe

Usually

[north barn]

ya if you want to move the whole assembly always set cframe not position

doesn't matter if you pivotto or set the part cframe, the whole assembly moves as one model in both cases

[hollow pumice]

In my case it is better to use pivotTo cause i am teleporting multiple players and it reduces lag

Thanks a lot for offering help guys!

[north barn]

'it reduces lag'
i'm just ... going to pretend i didn't hear that.

[maiden wasp]

How would it reduce lag?

[north barn]

it's better not to ask

[hollow pumice]

Using CFrame teleports all parts of the character, no? And if i use PivotTo, it teleports the whole model making it struggle less

k never mind

[north barn]

i will say this though, for the moment, do not prioritize optimization

nothing in your code could possibly be so bad that it drops framerate below 60fps, so you're fine.

[hollow pumice]

So, is there a more efficient way of teleporting like 10 players at once?

[north barn]

technically yes but dont worry about it

[hollow pumice]

Alright

[maiden wasp]

It's better to optimize now than later but yeah don't need to optimize for 100% especially not when you just started making a game

[north barn]

9 times out of 10 these micro 'optimizations' are extremely premature, or make things more difficult than they ever need to be

[north barn]

ehhhhhhhhhhhh optimization is a final step not a first one

[maiden wasp]

Yeah and the funny part is that sometimes it makes the performance worse 🥀

[north barn]

exactly 👌

[maiden wasp]

I mean you should optimize spawning 1000s of bullets for a minigun game or smth

[north barn]

ya this video covers most of the issues with premature optimization nicely including this.

[hollow pumice]

I am actually optimizing my game right now, so i am closer to publishing it than a new start

[north barn]

start with some working prototype - and if there is a real performance problem, measure, try something, measure again.

don't be trying to fix performance problems that dont exist yet

it's all in the video so 👍

[maiden wasp]

Yeah that's real

[hollow pumice]

okay
