Can't seem to move this model/folder somewhere else

#1

For days now I’ve been trying to figure out how to move an entire folder/model
I’m trying to move 1 part of a Map Generation somewhere else than the other generation.

I’ve tried Pivoting the model/folder to a certain part but it doesn’t seem to work.

The folders are corresponding to the area number you put in for the function.

function generate(colorground, colorwater, colorsand, area)

	local X = 50
	local Z = 50

	local grid = {}

	for x = 1, X do
		grid[x] = {}
		

		for z = 1, Z do
			grid[x][z] = math.noise(x/10, z/10) * 15
		end
	end

	for x = 1, X do
		for z = 1, Z do
			local yPos = grid[x][z]

			local part = Instance.new("Part")
			part.Anchored = true

			if yPos < -3 then
				part.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
				part.BrickColor = colorsand
			else
				part.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
				part.BrickColor = colorground
				local attach = Instance.new("Attachment")
				attach.Parent = part
				attach.Position = Vector3.new(attach.Position, 16.796, attach.Position)
				attach.Visible = true
			end
			
			
		
			
			part.Position = Vector3.new(x*5, yPos, z*5)
			part.Size = Vector3.new(5, 30, 5)
			part.Parent = workspace.MapGeneration
			
			
			
		end
	end

	local water = Instance.new("Part")
	water.Anchored = true
	water.Size = Vector3.new(X*5, 30, Z*5)
	water.Position = Vector3.new(((X+1)*5)/2, -5, ((Z+1)*5)/2)
	water.CanCollide = false
	water.Transparency = .5
	water.BrickColor = colorwater
	water.Parent = workspace.MapGeneration
	
	local model = Instance.new("Model")
	
	for _, Generation in pairs(workspace.MapGeneration:GetChildren()) do
		Generation.Parent = model
		model.Name = area .. "- MapGenerator"
		model:PivotTo(workspace[area].DefaultPosition.CFrame)
		model.Parent = workspace
		print(area)
	end

I just wanted to say. I just wanted to tell you. That-that I’m the one who knocks

#5

If it is a model you can use setprimarypartCFrame(), although that is deprecated. Other than that I don’t know. You would have to use scripts and some math at that point.

#6

get all of the children in the folder, and move them according to their own position a set number of studs to another space

dont move them all to a specific spot or you will put them all in the same spot

vector3.new(nil, +20, nil)

im a beginner so the above way of moving them might not work

#8

it kinda did work but now all the parts are in one

#9

could you show me an example since i really dont know how to use setprimarypartCFrame

#10 
local yourModelHere = game.Workspace.Model

-- Set the primary part cframe like this
yourModelHere:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(game.Workspace.NewPos.CFrame)
#11

He meant to add
Instead of “= Vector3” do “+= Vector3”

Ex:
Part.Position += Vector3.new(x,y,z)

#12

this does indeed work but when i try multiple at once the 2 generations go in the same spot

#13

dont move them all to directly one space, move them a set amount of studs according to their own part, and not according to global

#14

Add a variable to store them.

--Put outside of loop
local Num = 20

--Put after loop (After “until” or “end”)
Num += 20

--Use this to move the parts
Part.Position += Vector3.new(x,Num,Z)

I’m assuming you’re using a template generation and cloning them?

#15

im not cloning them im using a function to generate a random generation so i dont know where to put them

#16

what exactly are you trying to achieve?

#17

multiple generations to be right next to eachother

#18

when you make a new generation, add to its current position using += in the direction you want it to go, preventing them from being ontop of each other
