Hello Roblox Dev Community,

Info
So i am trying to position an part (an hair that’s an part) to an character. But the thing is that if i position the CFrame exactly to the head, it would stick of a little. So i made an code for that.

		newUserHair.Position.X = char.Head.Position.X + newUserHair.SpecialHair.Value.X
		newUserHair.Position.Y = char.Head.Position.Y + newUserHair.SpecialHair.Value.Y
		newUserHair.Position.Z = char.Head.Position.Z + newUserHair.SpecialHair.Value.Z

It doesn’t works, and it comes with this error in the output:

X cannot be assigned to - Client - LocalScript:62 (The first line of code, that i wrote before.)

Achieve
So i made an value inside of the hair called, SpecialHair. It’s an Vector Value with as example:

Vector3.new(0, 0.2, 0)

and then the script just positions it to the head + the value inside of it. That’s what i want to achieve.

Forgot to mention!
It’s written down inside of an local-script.

Hope everyone has an good day, stay save and healthy.
:pray: :wave:

You can’t change the X, Y and Z properties of an existing vector. You need to replace the position vector with a new one.

newUserHair.Position = char.Head.Position + newUserHair.SpecialHair.Value

For me it still doesn’t works, but it doesn’t gives me any errors. Should i try it on an server-script?

Usually with this error, you get it because you can’t put positions such as y and x or something. In a client/local script

Try the exact same script but in a server script

@Icy7812 and @RoBoPoJu We’re right, thank you. The problem was about it being on the client side. So @RoBoPoJu was right about the script and @Icy7812 was right about the client thing, Thank you!

You can’t change individual positional values in a Vector3, just use Vector3.new() to set each individual one

I’m just giving some advice, I’m not stealing your solution. The metatable for the Vector3 is locked, you should be using Vector3.new() for good practice. :slight_smile:
