I know how to save a part to the datastore in normal world space, but when it comes to a plot, I’m wondering how to save the part relative to the plot part, since there are multiple plots, in different places in the world, you cannot simply save it as normal because the player will not always get that plot.

I was thinking of doing Part.CFrame * Plot.CFrame and this I suppose would produce a new CFrame? I am not very good with CFrame…

You will have to use ToObjectSpace() for this, please read the following article on more insight:

What does ToObjectSpace() and ToWorldSpace() do?

:ToObjectSpace() converts a CFrame relative to the world relative to a specific part. For example let’s say object A is at 0, 10, 0 and object B is at 0, 20, 0. If we ran: print(objectA.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(objectB.CFrame) it would print 0,10,0 as object A is 10 studs above object B. It’s treating object B’s CFrame as the center of the world. :ToWorldSpace() does exactly the opposite and returns a CFrame relative to the center of the world (0, 0, 0). So if object C’s CFrame is 0, 10, 0 away fr…
