CFrame Error: CFrame Shows Up As a Table?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’m working on a little side thing just to get back into the swings of things, as I haven’t coded somthing in a while, and I’m trying to use CFrame more often (Since I think It’ll be a good habit)

I’m working on something that will duplicate parts and arrange them in a circle.

Code 
local Centerlocation = Vector3.new(0,10,0)
local Circlesize = 10
local PartAmount = 36
local ClonePart = game.Workspace.Part

for count = 1, PartAmount do
	
	local Timeslooped = 1
	
	local CopiedPart = ClonePart:Clone()

	CopiedPart.Parent = game.Workspace
	CopiedPart.Anchored = true
	CopiedPart.CFrame = CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0),0,0)
	CopiedPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,10,0) + CopiedPart.CFrame.RightVector * Circlesize
	
	Timeslooped = Timeslooped + 1
end

However, it repeatedly keeps telling me that on line 14, it expected CFrame, but instead got a table.

Line 14: CopiedPart.CFrame = CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0),0,0)

Can anyone help me with this?

Edit: The error was in the fact that I used CFrame instead of CopiedPart.CFrame, my bad :frowning:

in the statement on line 14 just using CFrame instead of CFrame.new() or CopiedPart.CFrame is a table, or more specifically a metatable defined by roblox. In a object oriented sense you are trying to multiply the blueprint for an object but not an actual object.

What do you suggest I do then?

#4

CopiedPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,0,0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0),0,0)

You probably want CopiedPart.CFrame but I don’t really understand what you want it to do.

#6

CopiedPart.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0),0,0)

You see, the thing is that I’m trying to go for just rotating it, not moving it too.

I am using CopiedPart.CFrame, and I’m trying to get the part to rotate.

Try using the unit circle:
