Problem with data store ({CFrame:GetComponents()})

I’m making a saving system for models and I cant figure out how to get the CFrame of parts inside it to save I’m using {CFrame:GetComponents()} and CFrame.new(unpack()) like every post suggested but I cant get it to work I keep getting an error every time it attempts to desterilise.

{CFrame:GetComponents()}--Serialize 
CFrame.new(unpack())--Deserialize and gets error invalid argument #1 to 'unpack' (table expected, got string)
#2

I’ve tried using a combination of rotation and position but that results in the models being disfigured I think the above method would be better because everyone is saying to use it

#3

That should work. What are you passing into unpack()? Can you print that out?

#4

it says “Model” I don’t know if that’s wrong or not but i know that nothing else is going to the wrong value as this is the only element of the system not working.

#5

you are trying to use :GetComponents() on the CFrame BaseClass instead of an actual object.

It should be Model.CFrame:GetComponents(), keep in mind that this returns a tuple, not an array.

also, you are not unpacking a table at all as the parentheses are empty

#6

I’m using it on every individual part in the model

SerialStuff = {v.CFrame:GetComponents()}
#7

I just left them empty they’re not actually empty in the script and also the fact it returns a tuple fixed one error but made another error:

Block.CFrame = CFrame.new(unpack({Table[14],Table[15]}))
--invalid argument #1 to 'new' (Vector3 expected, got table)
#8

I just fixed the other method and fixed it up by snipping out and sewing parts together from a tutorial
