How to move a part to Workspace from Replicated Storage and keep its rotation?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m moving things from Replicated Storage to workspace and I noticed it doesn’t keep the orientation, and I have to do a lot of manual testing to try to orient it the right way. How do I keep the orientation the way it is in Replicated Storage or the way I set it when I moved it there?

#2

After you move it to the workspace then set the orientation. It will happen so fast you will not even notice.

#3

I’m not sure how to set the orientation

#4

``
local part = script.Parent
part.Parent = workspace
part.Orientation = Vector3.new(10, 10, 10)

#5

as far as i’m aware, Lighting or ServerStorage is more recommended for storing models/parts and clone them into the workspace

#6

Depends if you want to reuse them … but yes.

#7

No.

I understand this. And a standard way is always good. But, I’m just answering his question simply.
He is looking for … Vector3.new(?, ?, ?)

#9

Vector3.new(10,10,10) sounds like a random orientation which I don’t want. I’m ultimately trying to just put two parts infront of the player that were rotated a specific way, and parenting from ReplicatedStorage to workspace with a method like:

part.CFrame = torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -5)

Ends up changing it’s orientation

I answered your answer :slight_smile:

i dont really understand, @Zlrenn, Are you doing this via a script or manually(wth) Just saw your answer aha

Try putting it in server storage and make sure its anchored and also is it supposed to be connected to the player?

#11

No it’s not supposed to be connected. It also has a body velocity so anchoring doesn’t seem optimal.

I’m just looking for a way to orient this properly via scripting and not trying to work around it by changing properties. It would make good practice and learning.

#12 
local object = game.ServerStorage.OBJECTNAME:Clone()

local offset = Vector3.new(0,-1.6,-5) -- tweak it if needed

object.CFrame = player.Character.Torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(offset)

object.Parent = game.Workspace

Its the same script but once again switching services to export it would i believe fix it, i have a script similar where when a command is triggered (kohl custom commands)
like :ball it spawns a ball with a velocity too (not anchored) and even tho i know not alot would care about the orientation since it is a ball there is a texture on it and it does not seem to change orientation since the logo on the texture always face my torso when i spawn it

#13

This doesn’t work.
Also my game’s scripts all use rep storage. I get it may help with security but I can’t deal with fixing everything right now as it would just take too long, even with searching thru all scripts.
