Clone not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Im trying to make a C4 spawn wherever I click, and its been working fine for the most part except when I try to actually spawn the C4.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SpawnC4Signal = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.RemoteEvent

local C4clone = ReplicatedStorage.C4:Clone()

local function PlaceC4(Player, Door, HitPoint)
	print (HitPoint)
	print (Door.Name)
	C4clone.Parent = Door
	C4clone.Position = Vector3.new(HitPoint)
	print (C4clone.Position)
end

SpawnC4Signal.OnServerEvent:Connect(PlaceC4)

Im getting 0 errors but the C4 wont become a child to the Door and the Position wont change either, the HitPoint and Door variables are returning the correct values but when i print the C4clone.Position it says 0,0,0 indicating it didn’t move at all (The HitPoint variable is not 0,0,0 when it prints) I would appreciate any help.

I might be wrong, but I think it’s because you’re creating the clone outside of the function. Try instead placing the cloning part inside the function at the top.

Move the local C4clone = ReplicatedStorage.C4:Clone() part inside the function and see if it works.
like so:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SpawnC4Signal = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.RemoteEvent

local function PlaceC4(Player, Door, HitPoint)   
    local C4clone = ReplicatedStorage.C4:Clone()
	print (HitPoint)
	print (Door.Name)
	C4clone.Parent = Door
	C4clone.Position = Vector3.new(HitPoint)
	print (C4clone.Position)
end

SpawnC4Signal.OnServerEvent:Connect(PlaceC4)

The reason it wasn’t working is because it just created a clone just once when the script ran instead of creating one everytime the function is run

Unfortunately, the same thing is happening, no errors but the part isn’t appearing and the position still stays 0,0,0. When i look into explorer I notice that the part doesn’t even show up after getting cloned. If it helps I am trying to clone a MeshPart into a regular part (So I’m not cloning a model into a model or a part into a model) but I’m not sure if that is important.

Wait, i noticed what happened, idk how I didn’t notice this but, when trying to give the position to my part, I was supposed to specify the X Y Z values

C4clone.Position = Vector3.new(HitPoint.X, HitPoint.Y, HitPoint.Z)

So like that
