Part spawns in the same position

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Alright, every time I say something, it should spawn about 5 blocks away. However, if I type something twice, it spawns in the same position. I don’t know how to fix this.
Any help would be appreciated.

script:

	local LastPart = nil
					
					for i = 1, 5, 1  do
						local NP = Part:Clone()
						NP.Parent = game.Workspace
						LastPart = NP
						NP.Position = LastPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 1 , 0)
						
						if LastPart == nil then
							LastPart = StartPart
						end
                      
					end

By the way, this is only half of the code. Let me know when you need the rest.

please help!

The “1” in the vector3 is set to the Y axis (Height) wich means your part will spawn at the same X and Y axis but in at different height. If you want to change the postion of the part, change the axis of the vector3. For example:

local LastPart = nil
					
					for i = 1, 5, 1  do
						local NP = Part:Clone()
						NP.Parent = game.Workspace
						LastPart = NP
						NP.Position = LastPart.Position + Vector3.new(1, 0 , 0)
						
						if LastPart == nil then
							LastPart = StartPart
						end
                      
					end

No, that’s not the problem. The Y-axis is what I want. However, for example, if I run it again, it spawns 5 again, but in the same position. I want it to spawn at the top of the other part, not in the same position.

Could you send the entire script because I don’t know what StartPart is ?

6

I’m sure I can help, but could you provide the full code?

7

You’re setting the last part before adjusting the position to the actual last part, just move the LastPart = NP down a line.

8

It appears that you clone the same part (which happens to be also set as NP):

local NP = Part:Clone()
NP.Parent = game.Workspace
LastPart = NP

You don’t change the last part, that’s the problem.
Change this line:

if LastPart == nil then
	LastPart = StartPart
end

into:

if LastPart == nil then
	LastPart = Part
end
9

Also move
if not LastPart then
LastPart = StartPart
end
To the front of the loop

this is the full script:

I changed the part to ‘startpart’ to make it easier to understand.

local TopicsModule = require(script["Topicsmodule"])

local StartPart = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("StartPart")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		char:PivotTo(StartPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0))

		player.Chatted:Connect(function(Chat)
			for ind, topic in TopicsModule do
				if Chat == string.lower(topic) then
					local LastPart = nil

					for i = 1, 5, 1  do
						local NP = StartPart:Clone()
						NP.Parent = game.Workspace
						LastPart = NP
						NP.Position = LastPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 1 , 0)

						if LastPart == nil then
							LastPart = StartPart
						end

					end
				end

			end
		end)
	end)
end)
11

Try the following:

local TopicsModule = require(script["Topicsmodule"])

local StartPart = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("StartPart")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		char:PivotTo(StartPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0))

		player.Chatted:Connect(function(Chat)
			for ind, topic in TopicsModule do
			    
				if Chat == string.lower(topic) then
		
					local LastPart = StartPart

					for i = 1, 5, 1  do
						local NP = LastPart:Clone()
						NP.Parent = game.Workspace
						NP.Position = LastPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 1 , 0)
                        
                        LastPart = NP
					end
				end

			end
		end)
	end)
end)

If I spawn two or more times, here is a picture of the main problem.

I see, do give me a moment to think then.

It appears that you increment the Y value. Here’s the new code that increments the X value (if that’s what you’re looking for):

local TopicsModule = require(script["Topicsmodule"])

local StartPart = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("StartPart")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		char:PivotTo(StartPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0))

		player.Chatted:Connect(function(Chat)
			for ind, topic in TopicsModule do
			    
				if Chat == string.lower(topic) then
		
					local LastPart = StartPart

					for i = 1, 5, 1  do
						local NP = LastPart:Clone()
						NP.Parent = game.Workspace
						NP.Position = Vector3.new(LastPart.Position.X + 1, LastPart.Position.Y, LastPart.Position.Z)
                        
                        LastPart = NP
					end
				end

			end
		end)
	end)
end)
15

Now it does this, and I don’t know why.

I mean, it kind of worked, but I wish I could spawn 5 instead of 1. But whatever, I’ll mark you as a solution. Thank you!

This should work for the loop:

local TopicsModule = require(script["Topicsmodule"])

local StartPart = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("StartPart")
local Saved_Part = StartPart:Clone()

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		char:PivotTo(StartPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0))

		player.Chatted:Connect(function(Chat)
			for ind, topic in TopicsModule do
			    
				if Chat == string.lower(topic) then
				    
				    for instance_value = 1, 5, 1 do
    					local NP = Saved_Part:Clone()
    					NP.Parent = game.Workspace
    					NP.Position = Vector3.new(Saved_Part.Position.X + 5, Saved_Part.Position.Y, Saved_Part.Position.Z)
    					
                        Saved_Part = NP
                       end
					end
				end

			end
		end)
	end)
end)
