You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I want to convert strings into Vector3

  1. What is the issue?

There so much i could do, theres Vector3.new, BasePart.Position, Vector3 other methods, CFrame.Position. I do not know what to do

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I asked coding bacon and its only for the vector3 methods not BasePart.Position, and CFrame.Position and theres only 1 more topic talking about this which is not much help

This is the code which is given to me

function module:StringToVector3(str)
	str = str:gsub("%s+", "")
	
	if str == "Vector3.zero" then
		return Vector3.zero
	end

	if str == "Vector3.one" then	
		return Vector3.one
	end

	local axis = str:match("Vector3%.fromAxis%(Enum%.Axis%.(%a+)%)")
	if axis then
		local enumAxis = Enum.Axis[axis]
		if enumAxis then
			return Vector3.fromAxis(enumAxis)
		end
	end

	local normalId = str:match("Vector3%.fromNormalId%(Enum%.NormalId%.(%a+)%)")
	if normalId then
		local enumNormalId = Enum.NormalId[normalId]
		if enumNormalId then
			return Vector3.fromNormalId(enumNormalId)
		end
	end

	local vx, vy = str:match("Vector3%.FromVector2%(([-%d%.]+),([-%d%.]+)%)")
	if vx and vy then
		return Vector3.FromVector2(Vector2.new(tonumber(vx), tonumber(vy)))
	end
	
	local x, y, z = str:match("Vector3%.new%(([-%d%.]+),([-%d%.]+),([-%d%.]+)%)")
	if x and y and z then
		return Vector3.new(tonumber(x), tonumber(y), tonumber(z))
	end

	x, y, z = str:match("Vector3%(([-%d%.]+),([-%d%.]+),([-%d%.]+)%)")
	if x and y and z then
		return Vector3.new(tonumber(x), tonumber(y), tonumber(z))
	end

	x, y, z = str:match("{([-%d%.]+),([-%d%.]+),([-%d%.]+)}")
	if x and y and z then
		return Vector3.new(tonumber(x), tonumber(y), tonumber(z))
	end

	x, y, z = str:match("^([-%d%.]+),([-%d%.]+),([-%d%.]+)$")
	if x and y and z then
		return Vector3.new(tonumber(x), tonumber(y), tonumber(z))
	end

	warn("Invalid Vector3 string: " .. str)
	return nil
end

It does support {1, 1, 1}, (1, 1, 1) and whatever

local str:string = "5,4,3"
local Vector = vector.create(table.unpack(string.split(str,",")))

You can replace vector.create into Vector3.new if you want but using vector library is a bit better vector | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
