weirdly enough it says the primary part doesn’t exist

#27

Yes you have to set it manually through properties.
Select the model and go to properties menu and click on PrimaryPart and select the Main Part inside the Model.

#28

I did that! I don’t understand. i’ll do it again.
Edit: There is a primary part!

#29

Can you send screenshot of the PrimaryPart?

#31

From the properties menu please

that script will not work because the EndCFrame is a child of WeirdShape and not the workspace:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local pipePrimaryPart = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("PrimaryPart")
local endCFrame = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("EndCFrame")

if pipePrimaryPart and endCFrame then
	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(10, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
	local goal = {CFrame = endCFrame.CFrame}
	local glide = TweenService:Create(pipePrimaryPart, tweenInfo, goal)

	local function work()
		glide:Play()
	end

	workspace.Events.Start.Event:Connect(work)
else
	warn("pipePrimaryPart or endCFrame dont exist")
end
#34

still no work :cry:

#35

Okay so can you show me the output (on every reply from now on)

Alright I changed

else
	warn("pipePrimaryPart or endCFrame dont exist")
end

to

elseif pipePrimaryPart then
	warn("endCFrame doesn't exist")
elseif endCFrame then
	warn("pipePrimaryPart doesn't exist")
else
	warn("pipePrimaryPart AND endCFrame don't exist")
end

And I got “pipePrimaryPart doesn’t exist”

#38 
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local pipePrimaryPart = script.Parent.PrimaryPart
local endCFrame = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("EndCFrame")

if pipePrimaryPart then
	if endCFrame then
		local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(10, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
		local goal = {CFrame = endCFrame.CFrame}
		local glide = TweenService:Create(pipePrimaryPart, tweenInfo, goal)

		local function work()
			glide:Play()
		end
		workspace.Events.Start.Event:Connect(work)
		
	else
		warn("no endCFrame")
	end
else
	warn("no primary part")
end

Okay this script will detect exactly what issue is going on.

#39

I guess I just did that here

#40

We sent at the same moment, anyways have you tried the script?

#41

Mine gives “pipePrimaryPart doesn’t exist”

#42

What did my script print into your output?

#43

Nothing… OMG I UNDERSTAND! I anchored the model :person_facepalming: but if I unanchor it falls.

#44

Weld all parts together and anchor one of them.

#45

oh
but no, It did not work :cry:
