Part not going back to original position after 5 seconds?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi, I’m currently just trying to make a part go unanchored once you clicked on it. And then waiting 5 seconds then it turns back to anchored and goes back to the original position. I have Part2 where it originally was.

local part = script.Parent.Parent
local part2 = game.Workspace.Part2


part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	wait(1)
	print("Has been clicked")
	part.Anchored = not part.Anchored
	print("Brick has fallen!")
	wait(5)
	print("We go back now")
	part.Anchored = part.Anchored
    print("Is now anchored")
	part.CFrame.Position = part2.CFrame.Position 
end)

After the part becomes anchored, it won’t go back to the position of Part2. It just says this in output: Position cannot be assigned to - Server - Script:14

Can’t you just use the Position property instead of having to use CFrame?

Are you writing this in a local or server script?

I’m doing it in a server script.

Just do this-

local part = script.Parent.Parent
local part2 = game.Workspace.Part2


part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	wait(1)
	print("Has been clicked")
	part.Anchored = not part.Anchored
	print("Brick has fallen!")
	wait(5)
	print("We go back now")
	part.Anchored = part.Anchored
    print("Is now anchored")
    part.Position = part2.Position
	part.CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position, part2.Position)
end)

Yes, but if I do just Position then it will just go back to the position, not the exact position though. If someone moved the part while it was falling, and the part flipped over or turned a bit, the part would go back as how it fell.

How about

part.CFrame = part2.CFrame

However, what is part and part2? I assume they are parts.

Part is the original part you click that falls, part2 is the second part that technically saves the position of the original part before it falls. And then it’s supposed to bring Part back to its original position.

You can get rid of part2 by saving part’s position like this:

local part = script.Parent.Parent
local cf = part.CFrame


part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    wait(1)
    print("Has been clicked")
    part.Anchored = not part.Anchored
    print("Brick has fallen!")
    wait(5)
    print("We go back now")
	part.Anchored = true
    print("Is now anchored")
	part.CFrame = cf
end)
