Okay, don't judge me, I'm new to this stuff.
Is there any way to make a script in where the player cannot be backwards (head first)?
I'm making a game where you free fall out of a tower, land in water and fight. But when the person free-falls out of the tower, the person always lands headfirst on the lake's floor, and the player can't swim (he's stuck backwards)

Is it possible to make a script like that/is there one?

instance a bodygyro in the player's torso and set maxTorque to Vector3.new(math.huge,0,math.huge)

math.huge is not a number.


Use 1e999, it is the same thing, and it DOES equal up to infinity (also known as math.huge)

Again, I'm new, so I have no idea what a bodygyro is.

Do I put in
"
local b = Instance.new('BodyGyro')
b.maxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge,0,math.huge)
b.cframe = CFrame.new(0, 10, 0)
b.Parent = Workspace.Part

or...

that would work but there's no need to set the cframe if you just want the brick to not tip over

With the vector3 and all, I put :

Workspace.(what do I put here?).Position = Vector3.new(0, 50, 0)
local b = Instance.new('BodyGyro')
b.maxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge,0,math.huge)
b.Parent = Workspace.(what do I put here)

am I missing something?

the first line would just move a brick to 0,50,0, just put whatever you need to move in between workspace and position

as for the fourth line, the parent of b should be the brick that you want to keep from tipping over

wait, Torso isn't in workspace
how do you get a torso to workspace?

use the Parent property to change the hierarchy of objects
ex: workspace.Player.Torso.Parent = workspace

however that's not necessary if you just want to put a bodygyro inside the player's character
just use the path of the torso when changing the parent property of bodygyro or instancing bodygyro
ex: Instance.new("BodyGyro",workspace.Player.Torso)

So the final script is :

 1: Instance.new("BodyGyro",workspace.Player.Torso)
2: workspace.Player.Torso.Parent = workspace
3: Workspace.Torso.Position = Vector3.new(0, 50, 0)
4: local b = Instance.new('BodyGyro')
5: b.maxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge,0,math.huge)
6L b.Parent = Workspace.Torso

you don't need the second line, the second line would kill the player

also, the third line would kill the player
if you want to teleport the player to 0,50,0, use this instead: Workspace.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(0, 50, 0)

another thing to note is that this script will only run once, and will only run if a player named "Player" is in the server before it runs

if you want the script to work for all players, you'll have to do some extra stuff

Oh, and do you add "Player" and "Torso" like :

Instance.new("Torso",workspace.Player)
Instance.new("Player",workspace)

"Torso" isn't a valid instance and "Player" cannot be instanced

Oh, I need everyone in the server to be affected by this.
This will be way too hard, I'm just gonna think of another idea for a game.
