  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to move the model from replicated storage move to a designated spot

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    It doesnt move at all. No errors are shown.

local Giver = game.Workspace.PizzaGivers
local ThisGiver = Giver["Pizza Thing"] -- Rename to current giver
local Button = ThisGiver.Button
local Spawner = script.Parent
local Stored = game.ReplicatedStorage.Givers

local pizzas = {
	Stored.TB1Pizza,
}

local function clicked()
	Button.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
	local copy = pizzas[math.random(#pizzas)]:Clone()
	copy:MoveTo(Spawner.Position)
	copy.Parent = workspace
	task.wait(10)
	copy:Destroy()
	Button.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
end
wait(3)

Button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(clicked)

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

use :PivotTo() and not :MoveTo(), moveto is for humanoid’s i think

MoveTo() is a function for humanoids.

Instead, just set the position property.

I would also recommend using Debris to handle temporary objects.

PivotTo() only works with models I believe. I may be wrong, though.

I found out that MoveTo() is a function with hte same name both for models and humanoids.

PivotTo() moves a model’s Priamry part to the given CFrame
MoveTo() moves a model’s PRIMARY PART to a given Vector3.

I’m pretty sure that the reason it isn’t moving is because the model’s don’t have a primary part, or they aren’t welded together.

Ah, alright.

Character limit

8

Its welded together and has a primary part.

9

It is a model.

Character limit.

OH. I think I know why. When parts are in ReplicatedStorage, their positions or anything else cannot be edited until they’re out of storage. Make MoveTo() appear after you set its parent to workspace. I had a problem similar to this once before.

Another thing, scripts don’t run in replicatedstorage.

That’s why there aren’t any errors. Because the position is being changed, but immediately being changed back because the part is still in ReplicatedStorage.

cheers. I placed MoveTo() after moving the parent and it works.
