Torso needs to be attached to something to be animated, thats why humanoidrootpart is needed for animations. (In R6 every limb is attached to torso) Other than that movement, camera CFrame, camera Offset is all calculated using this part as its the position of the character assembly even when animated. funfact: humanoids are calculated using the physics engine, so anchoring any of the limbs (preferably humrootpart) death will not be calculated aswell

[@jarthur3305]

This is true because you can test this out in Build a Boat for Treasure and when you hit a rock with your body a body part will get deleted until you die, so you can make your humanoid root part get hit then you wouldn't be able to move until you reset and your body will still be moving from the conveyer where the water is until you eventually die.

Humanoidrootpart gone = Your character just go crippled

[@Guest-qo5nl]

YUH

[@lucy_derg]

there is ways to remove the humanoid root part without affecting the player much and it is used in some exploits for bypassing anticheats because if the anti cheat can't find the humanoid root part (which is what a lot of anti cheats check for when detecting flying or like teleporting etc) then it breaks, if the anti cheat is not well made. the basic method iirc that exploits use is parenting the character to nil then deleting the humanoidrootpart, then moving the character back, which i believe is something only exploits can do as normal scripts cannot access nil instances

[@henrysaid9470]

In some roblox games my I just become a ghost and can move freely without my avatar following me so I’m guessing that is when my root part separates from my body

Here is a fact you might not have known! The numbers in “R6” and “R15” actually specify how many body parts there are in the rig, for example. R6 has the Head, Left arm, right arm, left leg, and right leg, and the torso, that would be 6 body parts in the rig! The HRP doesn’t count as a body part

You may have seen Caleb’s comment but I used to think R6 stood for Roblox rig in 2006, and R15 stood for Roblox rig in 2015.

[@Qwertyexists]

Same lol.

[@r0s3yz3n]

WAIT THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

[@MonitiiGT]

It means the ammount of parts in the rig (not counting the hrp)

[@ron133.]

i literally just thought of that 2 minutes ago

[@emilyy03]

r15 was introduced in 2016. it actually stands for the number of parts/joints each rig has (r6 has 6 parts and r15, 15 parts)

[@ZacAttackk]

I found out while creating a consistent physics hitbox for every Roblox avatar (since you can be super tiny or super huge) that the HumanoidRootPart actually has ONE inconsistency, and that's the height that it floats off of the ground. Some packages make the HRP float higher, some lower, roughly depending on distance between the feet and the torso. To get around this I just had to wait for the character appearance to load and compare the distance from the foot to the torso to subtract it from the new welded hitbox's offset.

[@Kiwi42]

Another thing, mostly unrelated but comes up in the part where you make a teleport script Joint instances (Welds, Motors, etc) have strange behaviour with having either their Part0 or Part1's position/orientation updated. Sometimes it can result in absolutely nothing happening, and sometimes it results in the joint being voided entirely (not sure where the difference comes from). But, you can avoid this by setting the CFrame of an object, which preserves all existing joints and thus has the expected behaviour. tldr; you can teleport using any part of the player so long as you set its CFrame

[@TheOfficialDorianelevator]

i already knew all of this, but i decieded to watch this to know what others describe it as.

[@duckymoment]

another thing is that you can move the model of the character directly, the same with sizing the player

[@peppersusieralsei4261]

Btw, the human root part is LITERALLY your soul, if you went into Roblox studio, got a nuke, and added it (it depends on nuke model) and then turned it on, when it explodes, your character collapses, and your human root part moves alone, this is a good example of how the root part works 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌

[@t0tallyarand0mguy-rbx]

ye i think

[@27.tylerrr]

regarding your point at 8:28 since your motor6ds are connected to the lowertorso then connected said lower torso is connected to root part, yes your player would collapse but nothing will fall apart due to the fact that everything else is motor6d' to eachother, the only parts that would fall apart is the lower torso, due to the fact that its connected to the humanoid root part, hence why you collapse. however the rest of the body is not attached to the rootpart, meaning that it is not affected.

[@sanctheanimator]

I like to imagine that the "Humanoidrootpart" is your Soul.

The HumanoidRootPart is a part that like keeps your character's ability to move. If that HRP goes away, say goodbye to your movement!

[@Red_Lord777]

This thing was made so that you can get on top of others

[@wescom.vallen]

lol fr

[@RealVegg]

rootpart is the part with which the physics of the Humanoid class are processed and in fact it has a height of 2 studs to simulate that the legs raise it. The other parts of the character are only used to show the animation and the appearance of your character, but the humanoid class is programmed to work only if your character has a torso and head, if you lose any of those parts it is automatically deactivated because it considers that your character has died

[@gala586]

Another thing that the HumanoidRootPart is responsible for that you forgot to mention is this video is not only the movement, but also the camera. People think that the camera is inside of the character's head, but if we modify the character, and move the root part way back, you will see that the player's body is far away from where you can pivot your camera, even in first person. Edit: Oh, and yeah, you can also spin your character's model around the root part as well if you do this.

[@FriSixtyfour]

if you delete humanoid of a R6 rig it will become "bricks" and start glitching

@@toolifystudios Roblox studio forces R15 by default. There’s no global toggle, if you don’t want to force one type you have to manually change it for every game.

[@isaacammerlaan7710]

can you explain more? cause both r6 and r15 still use humanoidrootpart. no matter how much you tinker with game settings, you will need to use that to control characters unless you script your own

[@iamlosingmysanityrapidly]

uh what if we make the humanoidrootpart not just for our character animations and stuff and make it also be an anti noclip?

[@adg1540]

So that would mean that you're actually controlling the HumanoidRootPart and your character is kinda just slapped on there. What I believe was also done is add a script that if the HumanoidRootPart detects some kind of motion, it will play an animation on your character.

[@flowrling]

as somewhat of a game dev, this is likely how roblox handles it. the HRP acts as, well, the root. because it always acts the same and doesn't really have much animation attached to it, that's what would be used for calculating position, rotation, speed, and control. everything else is just too inconsistent to use for that.

8:28 actualy the head handles the sound

[@basicallyGuestcorn]

N O . Well yes in the old sound script. But currently it’s stored in the root. For some reason

[@Catast3r]

Alot of new developers keep using the R6 rig type for their game for a very simple reason: easier work! if you have to scale every part of the character in a script to fit something instead of needing to scale 15 parts, you scale 6 parts, also in animation terms R6 is easier to animate, although you have to learn how to use the R6 animation style with arm disconnection and leg disconnection, Its easier to work with 6 parts instead of 15. Originally roblox thought the R6 arms and legs as the Upper arm and legs, but animators looked at it and said its more like the lower arm and legs. which is why they get disconnected Another really strong reason people like R6 is because its just plain, it doesnt have all of these confusing parts and new technology.

r6 and r15 have two different meanings, r6 means u have 6 body parts, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, head, torso, r15 visa versa, however HRP is not a valid part in that r6 and r15 body, HRP is just an add on for it

[@FL4M3real]

the easiest way to see the HumanoidRootPart in-game, at least from my experience, is to play a match of molten mode in TDS, and to hover your mouse over the boss, because he walks while leaning forwards, so the part sticks out a lot

do you use davinci resolve to edit

Btw never change the position of humanoidrootpart. Change the cframe instead. This can cause a lot of desync bugs

[@byteblox100]

Good point. I’ll mention though that sometimes changing the cframe might cause issues when changing position doesn’t, so keep that in mind

[@LD-dt1sk]

@@byteblox100 when it comes to humanoid root part, always change the cframe, because the position between the client and server will desync. I dont know of any examples where cframe would cause errors while position wouldnt, as it is overall more reliable. If you try to change the position of humanoid root part it will look perfectly fine on the client, but when you go to server side and select the character model you can see that the overall model was teleported while the hrp was at its original position and would remain in such an offset.
