I’m guessing you want to spawn a ball 3 studs above the spawnPart, but your end result goes like this
1. get random X value between the width of the spawnPart
2. get the world position of the spawnPart, Y and Z values specifically
3. clone a ball.
4. move the ball to the world position of the spawnPart + [[ the world position of the spawnPart, Y and Z specifically ]]
step 4 is equivalent to:
clone:PivotTo(
spawnPart.CFrame
+ Vector3.new(
math.random(-spawnPart.Size.X / 2, spawnPart.Size.X / 2)
spawnPart.CFrame.Position.Y + 3, -- two times the height of spawnPart + 3 studs
spawnPart.CFrame.Position -- the entire Vector3?
)
)
CFrames in every Part are always relative to the world (position [0, 0, 0], rotation [0, 0, 0]). Adding a Vector3 to a CFrame with move its position by the amount of the Vector3. In your case, you added the Y position of the spawnPart’s CFrame to itself plus 3 studs. You also used its position (Vector3) for the Z axis of the new position as well.
Remove the spawnPart.CFrame.Position lines in coordY. I don’t know what you will use coordZ for though, but if it’s for setting the ball’s Z position, remove that and replace it with zero.
Roblox has links to CFrames. You can check them out if you want:
Yeah I forgot about 0 when setting it all up. Since the ramps had a gap between them where the ball shouldn’t spawn I chose to randomly choose a ramp to spawn on and returned that as the spawnPart. Then I figured I would get the CFrame of the spawnPart so I could move the model anywhere. Then I just needed the height and I thought I needed Z axis also. It works now and spawns 3 studs up to spawn clear of the ramp so it can roll down the slope.
