How To Move Model's Position

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I was working on a commission for a game, and I ran into an issue.

I have a model with more than one part, and I’m not sure how to change the position of the model after a certain part of a script.

  • I tried making the parts transparent, and then making them reappear

  • I tried moving the model’s primary part to the position (but it said

X cannot be assigned to

)

Here’s my script:

local fader = script.Parent.Parent.fade
local monster = game.Workspace["Cave Dweller"]
local sniff = game.Workspace.Sniff
local step = game.Workspace.Loud_Step
local creak = game.Workspace["Wood Door Creak Squeak 2 (SFX)"]

task.wait(2.5)

local function typewrite(object,text,length)
	for i = 1,#text,1 do
		local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
		sound.Parent = game.Workspace
		sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://9120300060"
		sound.Name = "DialogSound"
		sound:Play()
		object.Text = string.sub(text,1,i)
wait(length)		
	end
	for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
		if v.Name == "DialogSound" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
end

typewrite(script.Parent, "Welcome to your new job.") 
task.wait(4.5)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.1
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.2
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.3
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.4
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.5
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.6
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.7
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.8
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.9
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 1
task.wait(0.1)
wait(1.5)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0
typewrite(script.Parent, "Let's wait for your new friend to arrive.")
task.wait(1)
task.wait(2.5)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.1
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.2
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.3
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.4
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.5
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.6
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.7
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.8
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.9
task.wait(0.1)
script.Parent.TextTransparency = 1
wait(0.5)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.9
	task.wait(0.1)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.8
	task.wait(0.1)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.7
	task.wait(0.1)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.6
	task.wait(0.1)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.5
	task.wait(0.1)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.4
	task.wait(0.1)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.3
	task.wait(0.1)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.2
	task.wait(0.1)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.1
	task.wait(0.1)
fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0
task.wait(0.1)

if fader.BackgroundTransparency == 0 then
	task.wait(2)
	creak:Play()
	wait(2)
	step:Play()
	wait(1.3)
	step:Play()
	wait(1.7)
	step:Play()
	wait(3)
	sniff:Play()
	wait(2)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0
	typewrite(script.Parent, "He's here...")
	task.wait(4.5)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.1
	task.wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.2
	task.wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.3
	task.wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.4
	task.wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.5
	task.wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.6
	task.wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.7
	task.wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.8
	task.wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 0.9
	task.wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.TextTransparency = 1
	wait(1)
--make cave person appear
	wait(0.6)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.1
	wait(0.1)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.2
	wait(0.1)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.3
	wait(0.1)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.4
	wait(0.1)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.5
	wait(0.1)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.6
	wait(0.1)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.7
	wait(0.1)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.8
	wait(0.1)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 0.9
	wait(0.1)
	fader.BackgroundTransparency = 1
end

Where it says (–make cave person appear) is where I want to put the solution script someone might provide.)

(And yes, I am VERY aware there is an easier way of doing

Transparency = 0.1
	wait(0.1)
Transparency = 0.2
	wait(0.1)
Transparency = 0.3
	wait(0.1)
Transparency = 0.4
	wait(0.1)
Transparency = 0.5
	wait(0.1)
Transparency = 0.6
	wait(0.1)
Transparency = 0.7
	wait(0.1)
Transparency = 0.8
	wait(0.1)
Transparency = 0.9
	wait(0.1)
Transparency = 1

)

Thanks in advance, -8ntlers

Whenever I see something like this it kills me. JUst use a for loop. It’s way more professional than this.

For moving a model from a place to another, you can use the :MoveTo(Vector3) function or use the TweenService

You could also use model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(), but use :MoveTo() better, because the model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame() sets the model Position AND Orientation so yeah keep that in mind.

Or just actually move the model :skull:

I stated why I do it that way, but thank you so much anyway! Have an amazing day!

Try moving the model’s Origin Position. That sounds like the problem. (is this solved already, lol?)

ever better, use TWEENS! Never need to do those wait, and slowly increment the transparency by 0.1.

edit: like Paco said, MoveTo() should work

i said MoveTo() first cuz i thought that he wasnt trying to do a cool transition, but yeah TweenService works too on these cases

typewrite(script.Parent, "Welcome to your new job.")
task.wait(4.5)
game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent, TweenInfo.new(1), {TextTransparency = 1}):Play()
task.wait(1.5)
game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent, TweenInfo.new(0.2), {TextTransparency = 0}):Play()
typewrite(script.Parent, "Let's wait for your new friend to arrive.")
task.wait(3.5)
game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent, TweenInfo.new(1), {TextTransparency = 1}):Play()

I tried to rewrite the amount of waits and task.wait() but there were too much but anyways you should use :MoveTo(position: Vector3?)

Instead of SetPrimaryPartCFrame, it would be better to use :PivotTo(CFrame). It’s the same thing but I believe :PivotTois more updated then SetPrimaryPartCFrame.

Deprecated. And it’s PivotTo() not SetPivot()??
