Please search before posting, i.e. What does ToObjectSpace() and ToWorldSpace() do?

#3

i literally just read that but i really do not understand it

#4

(objectA.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(objectB.CFrame)

like does this mean it is treating objectA as the centre of the world?

#5

No it is treating objectB’s CFrame as the center of the world.

#6

and why is it printing +10 when object a is UNDER object b

#7

shouldnt it print (0,-10,0) instead

#8

it treats object a as the center, what it returns is the cframe you’ll have to multiply object a with to get back to object b
here’s an example

print(CFrame.new(0, 10, 0):ToObjectSpace(CFrame.new(0, 12, 0)))

it prints

0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1

it’s the equivalent of doing a:Inverse() * b

its treating object a as centre?

#10

Yes. Object A is treated as the center, the resultant cframe is the offset of Object B from Object A

#11

I’m really confused because @sjr04 replied above and said object b is treated as Centre and now you’re saying object a is treated as Centre .

Ahhh I don’t know who’s correct

#12

It’s treating object A as the center, you can see that the output of the code proves so
