Create a line through CFrame position values / vector3

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi, I have an issue. I have a CFrameValue instances and they are numerically orderd. I have a function to connect a line between them but this function takes position 1 and position 2 and creates a line. The problem is, I do not know how to use to use the function and connect all the lines which are numerically orderd.

the points are just for reference there is a cframe value for those positons.

PositionAt = 0 -- Number used to mark where the Part is currently
Part = script.Parent

Positions = {

[1] = Vector3.new(0,0,0);
[2] = Vector3.new(0,10,0);
}

for i = 1,#Positions do
wait(1)
PositionAt += 1
Part.Position = Positions[PositionAt]

end

if you want, you can use TweenService which would look something like this:

TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
Part = script.Parent
PositionAt = 0

Positions = {

	[1] = Vector3.new(0,0,0);
	[2] = Vector3.new(0,10,0);
}

for i = 1,#Positions do
	wait(1)
	PositionAt += 1
	TS:Create(Part, TweenInfo.new(1), {Position = Positions[PositionAt]}):Play()
end

Try this:

local LastPosition

for i, Position in ipairs([PUT CONTAINER FOR VALUES HERE]:GetChildren()) do
	if i == 1 then LastPosition = Position.Value continue end
	local Part = Instance.new("Part")
	Part.Size = Vector3.new(1, 10,  (LastPosition - Position.Value).Magnitude)
	Part.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(LastPosition, Position.Value):ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(0, Part.Size.Y / 2, -Part.Size.Z / 2))
	Part.Anchored = true
	Part.Parent = workspace
	LastPosition = Position.Value
end

this only works if you use vector3 values (I don’t see a reason why you should use cframe values over vector3 values)

CFrame sets both Position and Orientation of an Object while Vector3 only sets the position. although you can set Orientation with Vector3, i still perfer CFrame

Correct me if i am wrong but are we not just making a line between the dots? (I am assuming Luftalagi only has the position of the dots and not the required CFrame)

neither of us are Right or Wrong. ._.
