Hello, I’m just reviewing toolbox items and I came across this line of code here

local currentrotation = dust.CFrame - dust.CFrame.p

It doesn’t create a variable anywhere else in the script where its set as “p”.

what does “.p” mean? I count find anything on the Roblox documentation.
Please help lol

oh okay so it used to be a thing but got removed?

but technically it still works?

#5

You shouldn’t use deprecated properties. It mostly likely was a name change for stylistic choices of the Engine, and it probably still works.

#6

Oh alright. but lets say I wanted to get the position. What would be the best way to grab it instead of using this deprecated way?

#7

Use CFrame.Position. Keep in mind most deprecated items could be eventually removed from the Engine resulting in your code becoming obsolete.

Alright, So Cframe.Position isn’t deprecated and is safe to use? Correct?
