Why does my train's PrimaryPart destroy itself once I clone the train to Workspace?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

perhaps the primarypart of the model has not been set?

#22

Also if the primary part is not anchored/welded to the model or is non-collideable, it can fall through the map and also cause this issue.

#24

It is anchored but it is not collideable, is that a problem?

#25

It has been set, because I can CFrame it only one time, but after that it gets destroyed

#26

maybe you CFrame it out of the roblox limit part distance under the baseplate

#27

What no? It CFrames perfectly fine, the problem is the primary part deletes

#28

every part under -500 studs bellow 0 gets detroyed

#29

maybe try CFraming the train like this ClonedTrain:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new())

#30

try using model:MoveTo instead of model:PivotTo

#31

That literally won’t work because:

  1. I just told you the primary part gets destroyed
  2. SetPrimaryPartCFrame is deprecated anyway
#32

I wish I could but I need CFrame because it’s the only way I can change orientation

#33

but it still works so you should give it a try

#34

??? Did you not read my reply? I literally said the PrimaryPart gets destroyed, so how do you expect me to use :SetPrimaryPartCFrame???

#35

Then How Does The PrimaryPart :magic_wand:magically :magic_wand: disappear / gets destroyed

#36

try replacing all the :Destroy() statements with warn("Destroying!") this should help log the error and see when it tries to destroy

#37

Oh wow, that’s what I’m wondering at the moment!

#38

I’ll try tomorrow, my computer is acting weird now.

#39

do you have any client-side scripts? and I would like to know what player:LoadCharacter() do

#40

I do have client scripts, it loads the character because CharacterAutoLoads is off
