How do I do Vector3 Positions? How do I use vector3 anywhere? (2 Part question)

[PIancks]

Part 1*
Like, I have a model of a square frame (hollow on the inside) so like a frame. And I want to move the vector3 position with tweening. But I can only do vector3 for one position of the part. So how do I move the whole model? (Setting a primary part will not work. I tried it)

Part 2
Lets say I did Vector3(1,1,1) but now I want to move my model to (2,1,3). Is there a way where I can just automatically tell it where it is instead of having to go back and change everything.

Is everything welded to the primary part?

Part 1 *

@MightTea

local function castWeld(x,y)
    local weld = Instance.new("Weld", x);
    weld.Part0 = x; weld.Part1 = y;
    weld.C0 = x.CFrame:Inverse(); weld.C1 = y.CFrame:Inverse();
end;
--
local function UnAnchor(model)
    for _,g in ipairs(model:GetChildren()) do
        if not g == model.PrimaryPart then
            g.Anchored = false;
        end;
    end;
end;
--
for _,b in ipairs(Model:GetChildren()) do
    if (not b == Model.PrimaryPart) then
        castWeld(b,Model.PrimaryPart);
    end;
end;
UnAnchor(Model);

--<Now tween the Anchored PrimaryPart \ All Parts Must Also Be Anchored Before Welding

I don’t think I understand what you mean? You can create a function that sets the position, but that won’t really help that much

local function SetPosition(x, vector)
    x.Position = vector;
end;

Instead of using tween to move the model I would use a BodyPosition.

Also if you don’t need tweening for whatever your doing, you can try the MoveTo()

Model:MoveTo(Vector3.new(2,1,3))

Alright… For the first question, the answer is pretty simple… If the model is already made(As in not being made in a script) a easy way to weld it is to use a plug in. I personally like this plug-in made by @PlaceRebuilder. Basically you just select all of the parts of the model and click on the plug-in and it’ll weld it all together…

If its a frame, I’d recommend doing an invisible part in the middle that is welded to everything else to act as a primarypart. Then you can just do your tweenng , :MoveTo, or :SetPrimaryPartCFrame on the model to move it. I’ve done this method a ton, never had a problem with it…

For the second question, didn’t quite understand what you mean’t. Mind elaborating?

[PIancks]

Sure thing. Lets say I have a complete model at point A (Complete model means I have scripted all the vector3positions. & now I would like to move the whole model to Point B. Now, this would obviously break the function because the values of the Vector 3 will still be at point A.

So, is there an easier way of doing this? Instead of having to take all the new positions and replace them again

[12904]

If Im understanding it right, the previous method should work for that, just weld it all up and if you move the primary part, the entire model will move.

[PIancks]

No, I mean like its position in the world. Lets say I want to move Object A to Point B. Now, I change my mind and I move object A to point C. But it will still go back to Point B, because the coordinates are set to point B. So I have to manually set them to Point C’s new coordinates

[12904]

Still don’t quite understand, if I am, then yea you just have to go in and set the value,you can just take a varaible for each location if you want to.

local PointA = Vector3.new(1,341,13)
etc

[PIancks]

Ah, its alright then. Thank you, But I would need further clarification on the timer.
