How to change height of part after setting its position to another parts position

#1

Im trying to make a custom hat to use in my game, i cannot figure out how to change its Y position value though

im using a server script inside of serverscriptservice, a remote is calling it, everything with the remote is fine.

-local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

rep.WHoodD.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, char)
	
	for i, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Accessory") then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	local clone = rep.Models.Hood:Clone()
	clone.Parent = char
	
	
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
	weld.Parent = char.Head
	weld.Part0 = clone.Hood1
	weld.Part1 = char.Head
	clone.Hood1.Anchored = false
end)

You could get the CFrame or Position of the character’s head and offset it to however many studs you like.

i’ve tried, it didnt work
this is the code i used with cframe

local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

rep.WHoodD.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, char)
	
	for i, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Accessory") then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	local clone = rep.Models.Hood:Clone()
	
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
	weld.Part0 = clone.Hood1
	weld.Part1 = char.Head
	
	
	local offsetCFrame = CFrame.new(0, 5, 0)
	
	clone.Parent = char
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
	weld.Parent = char.Head
	weld.Part0 = clone.Hood1
	weld.Part1 = char.Head
	clone.Hood1.CFrame = char.Head.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(offsetCFrame)
	
end)

local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

rep.WHoodD.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, char)
	
	for i, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do

			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	local clone = rep.Models.Hood:Clone()
	clone.Parent = char
	
	
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
	weld.Parent = char.Head
	weld.Part0 = clone.Hood1
	weld.Part1 = char.Head
	clone.Hood1.Anchored = false

    local hood1Pos = clone.Hood1.Position
    local yOffset = 1 -- however much higher you want it to be
    clone.Hood1.Position = Vector3.new(hood1Pos.X, hood1Pos.Y + yOffset, hood1Pos.Z)
end)

You added a hyphen before local in the first line.

local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local WHoodD = rep:WaitForChild("WHoodD")
local hood = rep:WaitForChild("Models"):WaitForChild("Hood")

WHoodD.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, char)
	for i, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Accessory") then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	local clone = hood:Clone()
	clone.Parent = char
	local hood1 = clone:WaitForChild("Hood1")
	local head = char:WaitForChild("Head")
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
	weld.Parent = head
	weld.Part0 = hood1
	weld.Part1 = head
	hood1.Anchored = false
	hood1.Position += Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
end)

I’ve also done some cleaning up & added waits to make sure instances have loaded before the script executes.
