Calculating distance between parts

Hello, I was wondering if it’s possible to calculate distance between parts to add certain amount parts in this distance with perfect spacing.

Here is example
Blue parts are start/end of distance.
Gray parts are positioned correctly from start to end with perfect spacing.

Here is 2 studs spacing.

Here is bad spacing and parts are not positioned correctly

I tried using a lot of math combinations but I got tired after 5 hours and I’m looking for help.

I asked my friends and they didn’t know too.

Do the amount of parts between the 2 blue parts matter? And does the size of the parts that will get in between matter? I might be able to help you out here

Oh… Do you mean that you can’t find a solution to adding parts between these 2 parts with a correct spacing, right?

Edit: Sorry, I didn’t read correct.

local blue1 = workspace.Blue1
local blue2 = workspace.Blue2
local gray = workspace.Gray

local distance = (blue1.Position - blue2.Position).Magnitude
local spacing = distance / 5 -- Divide the distance by the number of parts you want to add plus one

for i = 1, 4 do -- REMEMBER: 4 is the number of parts.
    local newGray = gray:Clone()
    newGray.Parent = workspace
    newGray.Position = blue1.Position - Vector3.new(0, 0, spacing * i)
end

Here is my solution.

function generateParts(part1, part2, n)
    local direction = part2.Position - part1.Position
    local offset = direction.Magnitude / (n + 1)
    direction = direction.Unit
    local position = part1.Position
    for i = 1, n do
        local p = Instance.new("Part")
        p.Anchored = true
        p.CanCollide = false
        p.Position = position + offset * direction
        p.Parent = workspace
        position = p.Position
    end
end
generateParts(workspace.Part1, workspace.Part2, 5)
