Moveto or Pivotto not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

show me where that script is in the explorer

#22

its in game.workspace in a part

#23

did you restart the studio and see

#24 
script.Parent.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(child)
	task.wait(1)

        if child.Parent == script.Parent and child:IsA("Model") then
        child:MoveTo(script.Parent.Position)
        end
end)
#25

Movement Logic:

  • Sometimes task.wait(1) might not be sufficient depending on how the game is running. Try increasing the wait time just to see if it’s a timing issue.
  • Make sure that script.Parent.Position is a valid Vector3 position.
    Alternative Approach:
  • If MoveTo and PivotTo are not working, you might try setting the CFrame directly
#26 
script.Parent.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
    -- Wait for the child to be properly added and loaded
    task.wait(2)  -- Increase the wait time for testing

    -- Ensure the primary part is set
    if child.PrimaryPart then
        -- Use CFrame to move the primary part
        local targetPosition = script.Parent.Position
        child:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(targetPosition))
    else
        warn("No PrimaryPart found for child: ".. child.Name)
    end
end)
#27 
local function onChildAdded(child)
    if not child:IsA("PVInstance") then return end
	task.wait(1)
	child:PivotTo(script.Parent:GetPivot())
end

for _, child in script.Parent:GetChildren() do
    task.spawn(onChildAdded, child)
end
script.Parent.ChildAdded:Connect(onChildAdded)

26 replies, fruitless… wtf is this? ask chatgpt at this point lmfao, moveto is a humanoid method, pivotto is a model method that requires a primary part, or just set the cframe of the primary part directly, make sure the position/cframe is valid

#29

I don’t think its got to do with anything how the part is being move, I think its to do with the event not being fired

#30

if op didn’t debug that thats on him

#31

Can’t really help if we don’t know much about it

#32

No, MoveTo() also works on Models, not just Humanoids. You can do for example, Model:MoveTo(Vector3.new(0,0,0)) to change the position of a model without having to use CFrame.new(), or PivotTo(). In simple, it’s basically PivotTo() but it only needs a Vector3, and it only changes the position of a model. Not the overall CFrame.

i went to sleep last night, but i fixed it. tbh i kinda forgot how i did it, but i did it somehow.
I think it was sum like “Model:PivotTo(Script.Parent.Cframe)” or sum like that idk

#34

I thought we found out that it was the child added event not firing?

#35

sorry went to sleep again, i forgot to mention instead of doign it in a “ChildAdded” event im now putting it in the part of code where it actually parents the model to workspace. so (Parent, PivotTo) istead of (Parent, Wait for child added, PivotTo)

#36

Actually, that’s probably a much better idea than having an event
