Does anyone know why the scirpt just spawn a part and deletes it imadeatly and it also doesnt go in to the right orientation and postion

Your newPart isn’t Anchored and it’s CanCollide property it set to false, so it will just fall below FallenPartsDestroyHeight, or the void.

-- MODIFIED
local newPart = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
newPart.Size = Vector3.new(-- blah, blah, blah)
newPart.Anchored = true -- This will anchor the part. It will be stationary.
newPart.Transparency = 0
newPart.CanCollide = false

the problem isnt that it just makes the part not follow the position and roataton i want it to

#5

It’s still a good habit to set your Anchored property to true. ROBLOX will calculate the physics of your newPart if Anchored is set to false, even when you’re setting it constantly via RunService.

I suggest you try setting Anchored to true before you tell me that it isn’t the issue. You should also parent your newPart to your Character.

local newPart = Instance.new("Part", player.Character)
