You could do something like this :

local platform  = game.ReplicatedStorage.Platform


while true do
	local clone = platform:clone()
	if not game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(platform.Name) then
		clone.Parent = workspace
		clone.Anchored = false
		task.wait(2)
		clone:Destroy()
	end
	task.wait()
end

If I understood you right, this is a very basic way to make a falling platform that respawns

make a normal script and put the normal script in serverscriptservices
put a part named platform in replicated storage

Script:

local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local platform = rep:WaitForChild("Platform")--the platform is in replicatedstorage
platform.Parent = rep
platform.Position = Vector3.new(-60.4, 21.418, 77.084) --forced the platform position here
local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local debris = game:GetService("Debris")

while wait(2.8) do --every 2.8 seconds it does all of the things below
	local clone = platform:Clone()

	local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(1.5)--how long its gonna last for
	
	local ts = tween:Create(clone,tweeninfo,{Position = Vector3.new(-60.4, 2.454, 77.084)})--tweening position
	
	local tweeninfo2 = TweenInfo.new(0.5)
	
	local ts2 = tween:Create(clone,tweeninfo2,{Transparency = 1})
	
	debris:AddItem(clone,2.1)--this makes the part automatically destroy after 2.1 seconds
	
	clone.Parent = workspace--parenting the clone to workspace 
	ts:Play()
	wait(0.8) 
	ts2:Play()

	end

Have a look at these lines :

local platform = game.ReplicatedStorage.Platform
local clone = platform:clone()
	if not game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(platform.Name) then
		clone.Parent = workspace

We here clone the platform that is currently in RS, and we check if that block hasnt spawned yet in workspace, if it really hasnt, we then parent the clone to workspace and it spawns.

Anywhere you want just change the xyz position

Depends. If you copy the code I did, it’d spawn it at the point the platform in RS is at.

To change the position, you could use various ways to move the model/change his pos.

ok so i put it some were on the map and then put it into replicated storage and it should work?

Only if the pos of that model will spawn within the baseplate zone, meaning - it’d spawn on it ,and not fall into the void.

yes
think of it as this way
if the part is in workspace the transparency is 0
and when u put the part in replicated storage the transparency is 1
(it doesnt change the transparency this was just an example)
