Is This The Same Thing?

I can’t resist but ask, are these the same things?

local part = game.Workspace.Part

part.CFrame *= CFrame.new(0, 0, 100)

and

local part = game.Workspace.Part

part.CFrame += Vector3.new(0, 0, 100)

Are they the same thing? Thanks! :wave:

Wouldn’t the 2nd one error since you’re adding a Vector3 to a CFrame? Although I’m not sure, but if it was

local part = game.Workspace.Part

part.Position += Vector3.new(0, 0, 100)

then they’d be the same. since in the first one you’re multiplying a CFrame which is basically adding a Vector3.

Someone correct me if you can do the 2nd one like that, or perhaps you could see since it would be a relatively easy thing to do

Well I got a correction to my misunderstanding but I didn’t expect it to be that blunt

You can try it for yourself & print the results, it should be the same result? I also believe there is a API Reference for this:

Please don’t post on the devforum if you are not sure about an answer. API documentation clearly says that you can add a Vector3 to CFrame: CFrame | Roblox Creator Documentation.

Not the same thing. Method 1 will offset the part relative to its orientation, whereas Method 2 will translate the part relative to the world (orientation isn’t taken into account).
