Did you try other ways to make it? Because each problem has multiple solutions. Because I am not sure if that is possible.

EDIT: Added the last sentence, to clarify.

Do you mean having a block connecting the two? You can use the gapfill plugin.

Or if you mean to script it, this might work

local thickness = -- Thickness
local Length = -- Length
local Attachment1 = -- Position of
local Attachment2 = --Position of
local magnitude = (Attachment1 - Attachment2).Magnitude

local Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Size = Vector3.new(magnitude, thickness, Length)
Part.Position = Attachment1 + Vector3.new(magnitude/2)
Part.Parent = workspace

if you have any questions just ask.

i’m trying to position each model in order to get the 2 attachments to have the same WorldPosition. This GIF explain pretty well what i’m trying to do:

ahh, I see. So there is one thing you can do. Instead of an attachment you can use a part and set that as the primary part, and then simply set the primary part’s position to the other primary parts position.

i already made that in the past, but i’m trying using attachment this time so i could make the “attachment” between room much more simple to do. but after that you point that out, i might get a solution using both attachment and primary part

Yes, you can do that, but make sure the primary part is the part that moves

Edit: wait, I think you can use a constraint let me check

Edit I think you can use a vector force connecting the two with a massive force

I agree with @VegetationBush’s solution, it’s easier to make, and it will work. I’ve used that with my colleague, when we were working on train scripts.

I found the solution !
We have 2 piece, 1 that is the base and 1 that is the piece we want to attach.
The way i did it is pretty simple. Create a part that have for CFrame the attachment to the piece we try to attach. Set it as PrimaryPart and Set the PrimaryPart CFrame to the CFrame of the attachment of the base piece.
Thanks to @Fliper05YT and @VegetationBush for helping :slight_smile:
