Hello! So ive been making a game but whenever i playtested it would always lag because of this error

 CFrame is not a valid member of Script "Workspace.Dolls.Script"

Dolls is a folder for where i keep my parts, but the script keeps saying that script.Parent is the script itself, I checked multiple times.

Heres the script:

local part = script.Parent
local collected = false
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
	if part and part.Parent then
		part.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180 * dt), 0)
	end
end)

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if collected then return end

	local character = hit.Parent
	local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

	collected = true

	for _, plr in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local leaderstats = plr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
		if leaderstats then
			local wegasValue = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Wegas") or leaderstats:FindFirstChild("wegas")
			if wegasValue and (wegasValue:IsA("IntValue") or wegasValue:IsA("NumberValue")) then
				wegasValue.Value += 1
			end
		end
	end

	local sound = part:FindFirstChild("Collect")
	if sound and sound:IsA("Sound") then
		sound:Play()
	end

	part.Anchored = true
	part.CanCollide = false
	part.Transparency = 1

	game:GetService("SoundService").SpawnedWega:Play()
	character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
	local wega = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Characters.Wega:Clone()
	wega.Parent = workspace.Chars
	task.wait(1.5)
	game:GetService("SoundService").SpawnedWega:Destroy()
	game:GetService("SoundService").Theme:Play()
	game:GetService("ServerStorage").Map:Clone().Parent = workspace
	local wegastart = game:GetService("ServerStorage").WegaScript
	wegastart.Parent = wega
	game:GetService("ServerStorage").Dolls:Clone().Parent = workspace
	wega.Normal:Play()
	task.wait(0.5)
	character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
	for i = 1, 12 do
		if part and part.Parent then
			part.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0.7, 0)
		end
		task.wait(0.03)
	end

	if part and part.Parent then
		part:Destroy()
	end
end)

I see whats happening here…
You’re trying to access a CFrame within a part within a script

If you want to retrieve the CFrame of a part, you should do so like this:

part.CFrame

5

theres an extra script in the Dolls folder you have to destroy

but he is literally doing that in his script?

the CFrame multiplication part is fine, but it still returns a CFrame, not a part, so the error is correct, since you can’t use CFrames for the .Parent property

They should use collection service anyways.

Not that this is the fix for you, but I do see that you are not checking if player is valid. You use GetPlayerFromCharacter, but then you need to check if that is == nil. Because if you touch something that is not part of a character, that player value will be nil.

at line 8

   part.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(spinSpeed * dt), 0)

i checked that script and yeah, that was the problem. i used the command bar to add scripts to all of the dolls, and i forgot to add a IsA() for a base part, thank you!

hey, I dont know if you are making an advanced project or not, but maybe you should look up Collection Service in Roblox Docs. Way better having 1 script vs 50 scripts for 1 thing
