String expected, got vector script bug help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My code is

``Function brick()
Wait(1)
Script.Parent.Text = “loading… 1”
Wait(1)
Script.Parent.Text = “loading… 2”
Wait(1)
Script.Parent.Text = “loading… 3”
Script.Parent.Text = “Error Loading”

Local part = Instance.new(“Part”)
Part.Position = game.workspace
Local PartPos = “1,1,1”
Part.Position = Vector3.new(PartPos)
Script.Parent.Tex = Part.Position
End
Brick()``

The error is
Players.SakDevRblx.PlayerGui.TextGui.Script:14 invalid arguement #3 (string expected, got vector 3)

Can somone please help.
I pefer if you give me a working script as well or at least tell me how to get one without to much complex stuff

The script
-creates a brick on spawn
-has a gui that tells player where brick position is

Vector3 values do not have strings in them.

Replace this:

With this:

Part.Position = Vector3.new(1,1,1)

It still has same error. No strings
Edit: on line 13
Error = script:13:invalud arguement #3 (string expected, got vector)

#4

Try this:

function brick()
    for i = 1,3 do
        wait(1)
        script.Parent.Text = "loading... "..i
    end
    
    script.Parent.Text = "error loading"
    local Part = Instance.new("Part")
    Part.Position = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
    Part.Parent = workspace
    
    script.Parent.Text = tostring(Part.Position.X) .. tostring(Part.Position.Y) .. tostring(Part.Position.Z)
end

I wana feel like i did something tho
Can i just copy last part and relace
Script.parent.text = pos?

Are you sure you are still getting any errors? I fixed your code a little bit more for you so hopefully this works.

function brick()
	for t = 1, 3 do
		script.Parent.Text = "loading... "..tostring(t)
		wait(1)
	end
	script.Parent.Text = “Error Loading”

	local part = Instance.new(“Part”)
	part.Position = game.workspace
	part.Position = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	script.Parent.Text = part.Position
end

I belive stating straight up: script.Parent.Text = Part.Position is incorrect. Try: script.Parent.Text = tostring(Part.Position) This should work.

Nothing wrong with learning from someone with more experience, but I see what you’re saying. The reason Line 14 is erroring is because you’re trying to set the Text property (a string) to a Vector3 value.

Change just Line 14 of your code to this:

script.Parent.Text = tostring(Part.Position.X) .. tostring(Part.Position.Y) .. tostring(Part.Position.Z)

Why does this change work? It’s because we’re just taking the individual values of the Vector3 (1,1,1) in this case and using the built in tostring() method to turn it into a string value. Since it’s a string, the .Text property won’t error.

Thanks i feel like everyone helped but yoh gave most clear answer

#10

Didn’t even realize this was a thing (tostring(V3)), best answer imo.

Very well, I hope this helped you! Have a phenomenal day/night!

since you can concatenate numbers, you don’t need to use tostring() here

#13

Disregard this post by me LOL!

This text will be blurred.

#14

I knew about this but included it in just for learning purposes. I rarely ever even use tostring() in all honesty.

#15

Also, make sure to solution me so people are aware this issue is solved! (:

function brick()
	task.wait(1)
	script.Parent.Text = "loading... 1"
	task.wait(1)
	script.Parent.Text = "loading... 2"
	task.wait(1)
	script.Parent.Text = "loading... 3"
	script.Parent.Text = "Error Loading"

	local Part = Instance.new("Part")
	Part.Parent = workspace
	local PartPos = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
	Part.Position = PartPos
	script.Parent.Text = tostring(Part.Position)
end

brick()

You’re incorrectly capitalising a lot of things, also to reference the workspace you can either use “game.Workspace” or “workspace” bare in mind that both are case sensitive (so you must type them exactly as I have). I’ve also replaced “wait()” for “task.wait()” as “wait()” is going to be deprecated soon.
