Cloning and moving a model

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make it where a random model will be cloned from replicated storage and then will be parented to workspace. After that happens I want that cloned model too then move and get destroyed. In my case I want a car (model) to be cloned and then parented into workspace which will then move in a straight line for a little while and then be destroyed.

Here is what I have so far -

local CarFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cars
local Dest = CFrame.new(73.783, 49.815, 186.905)

local function Move()
	local items = CarFolder:GetChildren()
	local randomItem = items[math.random(1, #items)]
	local item = randomItem:Clone()
	item.Parent = game.Workspace
	item:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Dest)
	wait(3)
	for i = 0,1,.001 do
		item:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(item:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() * CFrame.new(0,0,1))
	end
	item:Destroy()
end

while true do
	Move()
end

It should be working but the problem I’m having is that when the model is cloned, that cloned model doesn’t have a primary part anymore. I am not sure how to fix that and would appreciate some help. Thanks.

Try putting your cars/folder in serverstorage and code it around that.

Also i’m guessing that driveseat is set as primary part to the model

Are there any errors in the output?

After you clone the car and parent it to workspace you need to :
item:MakeJoints()

local CarFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cars
local Dest = CFrame.new(73.783, 49.815, 186.905)

local function Move()
	local items = CarFolder:GetChildren()
	local randomItem = items[math.random(1, #items)]
	local item = randomItem:Clone()
	item.Parent = game.Workspace
    item:MakeJoints()
	item:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Dest)
	wait(3)
	for i = 0,1,.001 do
		item:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(item:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() * CFrame.new(0,0,1))
	end
	item:Destroy()
end

while true do
	Move()
end

Yes

“Model:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() failed because no PrimaryPart has been set, or the PrimaryPart no longer exists. Please set Model.PrimaryPart before using this.”

It just gives me an error.

“Model:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() failed because no PrimaryPart has been set, or the PrimaryPart no longer exists. Please set Model.PrimaryPart before using this.

Seems like your model doesn’t have a PrimaryPart set on. You need to set the primarypart if you want it to work.
Also, you should use PivotTo [ better].

Yes the model does have a PrimaryPart set on. But when the model is cloned into workspace, there isnt a PrimaryPart connected to the cloned model.
