Hi!

To move models I would suggest using PivotTo. Also you’re trying to set your models CFrame, to a Vector3, which is not possible.

local PositionCFrame = CFrame.new(1,1,1) -- position

CrateClone:PivotTo(PisitionCFrame)

The problem with your script is that you’re using Position [which is a Vector3 value] for cratePos. SetPrimaryPartCFrame requires a CFrame value, but instead, you’re giving SetPrimaryPartCFrame a Vector3 value.

To fix this, change cratePos to:

local cratePos = crate.PrimaryPart.CFrame

Also, I recommend you should use PivotTo instead of SetPrimaryPartCFrame, as @TortenSkjold mentioned, since it’s superseded now.

As you can see in the scripts provided, i need the position of a Model already in workspace. So your sulotion is not viable.

And i already tried this somehow earlier, didnt remember. The Model im trying to set the position of only spawns on the ServerStorage Model’s location… Not where cratePos is referring to and printing

It is quite viable, we just need to edit it a bit. :slight_smile:


local PositionCFrame = ModelFromWorkspace:GetPivot()

CrateClone:PivotTo(PositionCFrame)

-- And the short version:
CrateClone:PivotTo(ModelFromWorkspace:GetPivot())
