Very simple error I can't solve

Hi everyone, this is a wicked quick error and I am terrible at CFrame but here it is.

I made a system where the player can save their objects placed. However, if they save the data, then rejoin, and claim a different plot, the color, loads, same as the block, but the CFrame is off, here is how I am loading it:

cube.CFrame = cube.CFrame * plot.CFrame

Does it show an actual error?

Maybe try doing

cube.CFrame = cube.CFrame ^ plot.CFrame

I had some kind of issue where it didn’t position before and I used an exponent and fixed my issue. May it can fix yours! If not then I’m not to sure since I’m not good with CFrames either.

#3

It didn’t work, it said that attempt to power (^) on CFrame. Thanks for the response though. CFrames suck.

#4

Maybe try using SetPrimaryPartCFrame. Thats really all I have. Don’t forget to set a primary part where you think the position is going to be at most accurate though.

Edit: Oh and it has to be a model (I think)

Never mind Forget what I said.

My object isn’t a model. That function only goes for models. :frowning:

#6

Thanks for the response. I’ll try to figure it out.

Still stuck lol. I’ll keep trying.

#8

I would try saving the object’s offset relative to the plot’s position.

Edit: The code below does not work if the block is at a different orientation :thinking:

local plotPos = game.Workspace.Part.CFrame
local plotPos2 = game.Workspace.Part2.CFrame
local objectPos = game.Workspace.block.CFrame
local calculation = plotPos:ToObjectSpace(objectPos)

--Save here.

--------------

local data = calculation -- Your Data here.
local object = game.ServerStorage.Object:Clone() --Your object here.
object.Parent = workspace

object.CFrame = data * plotPos

I think this should work

With a plot system, you need to understand that there is workspace positioning and cframe, but when handling within the plot itself, it needs to be identifiable within the plot itself like a workspace within workspace

I have not attempted a plot system before, but I would probably use the middle point of the entire plot area as a reference point, and calculate objects positions based off the plot middle point for later saving/loading

After testing it, it saves fine. I save it as a string, then convert it into a number, but isn’t working, here’s the code:

loadedmodel.CFrame = tonumber(saved.Pos) * plotbeingviewed.CFrame

It says Invalid argument #1 CFrame expected, got nil.

Saved.Pos is equal to:

tostring(plot.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(objects.CFrame))

#11

Is the plot a part? Try to see if the plot is actually a real instance. Do print(plot.ClassName)

#12

Yes it is a part. I checked. Let me try printing the :ToObjectSpace() part.

#13

Yes, sometimes it doesn’t actually exist so that’s why it gives nil. Also check the other parts that are being loaded in if their real instances/values. No reason for it to return nil if it is a “Part”

#14

Nope it did print. Maybe I can add if plot then.

#15

Still didn’t work. Maybe :ToObjectSpace() makes it a position or something?

#16

let me see the portion of the script

#17

Why are you are doing saved.Pos? It just saved since thats the CFrame

loadedmodel.CFrame = tonumber(saved) *  plotbeingviewed.CFrame`
#18 
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	


	local plot = game.Workspace.Plots:FindFirstChild(player.PlotOwned.Value)

	
	


	
	
	local plotdata = {
		
	}
	
	if plot then
	if game.Workspace.Plots:FindFirstChild(player.PlotOwned.Value) then
		for i, objects  in ipairs(plot:GetChildren()) do
			if objects:IsA("BasePart") and objects.Name ~= "Box" then
			
			table.insert(plotdata,{
					["Name"] = objects.Name,
					
					["Pos"] = tostring(plot.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(objects.CFrame)),
					
					["Color"] = {
						["R"] = objects.Color.R,
						["G"] = objects.Color.G,
						["B"] = objects.Color.B
						
					}
				})
				end
			end
		end
	end
	player.PlotOwned.Value = ""
	
	
	local id = "Player_" .. player.UserId
	local success, err = pcall(function()
	

		
		plotstore:SetAsync(id,plotdata)

	end)
	



	if success then
		print("saved")
	else
		print("no")
	print(err)
	end
	

end)

Loading Error:

local loadedmodel = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuildableObjects:FindFirstChild(saved.Name):Clone()
			
				if loadedmodel then
					print(saved.Pos)
			
				loadedmodel.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(saved.Color.R,saved.Color.G,saved.Color.B)
			
					loadedmodel.Parent = plotbeingviewed
				loadedmodel.CFrame =    tonumber(saved.Pos) *  plotbeingviewed.CFrame

BrickColor works. Same as the object cloning, but not the CFrame.

#19

Wait hold up, after printing the saved.Pos it is nil, let me see whats happening.

#20

Oh you can’t insert a dictionary like that using table.insert
