Saving a position of a part

[pucsdev]

I have to save the position as a string for it to save, So when i save the position and then try to set a part’s position to the saved position it sets the position to the middle of the map so basically 0,0,0 so if you know the fix or a better method please let me know.

local OldPosition = Part.Position

-- Filler code

Part.Position = OldPosition -- Will set the part's position back

Not sure this is what im looking for, It saves the position as a string in a table, Meaning i’d have to convert it to a vector3 however when i do it auto changes the position to 0,0,0, So i am kinda in a weird situation because it has to be a vector3 to set the position.

Pretty sure I understand what you mean. Are you using unpack on the table?

[pucsdev]

No, But the table format is {
PlacedItems = {pos = theposofpart,},
}

im making a placement system
i dont think unpack is needed but i dont mind giving it a shot

[Crimsonicacy (Crimson)]

That would look something like this:

PlacedItems = {
Pos1 = {X, Y, Z}
}

You can then use this position by doing:

local Pos = Vector3.new(unpack(PlacedItems[“Pos1”]))

Still Prints the position as 0,0,0 its so weird tbh

How to save Part position in the game?

Oh this is perfect, thank you very much! is very helpful, and should I always instantiate the gold object with the Parent to a folder? I can’t instantiate an object to the player without using a folder to save to datastore?

How could I save the position of parts when a user leaves the game?

I used this: Its when you save the properties of a part then create a new part with those saved properties. I used it in my game: I made a slot saving system: [RobloxScreenShot20200912_190517919]
