Why doesn't the position change?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a script that clones a model but it gives me an error that says, “position is not a valid member of model”. How do I change the position of the clone?

local rc = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Coin")

local x = math.random(-466.36, 446.175)
local z = math.random(-485.09, 465.36)

while true do
	rcc = rc:Clone()
	rcc.Name = "CoinClone"
	rcc.Parent = game.Workspace
	rcc.Position = Vector3.new(x, .5, z)
	wait(1)
end
#2

It’s only changing once because the x and z are not within the loop!

You're code would be:

local rc = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Coin")

while true do
    local x = math.random(-466.36, 446.175)
    local z = math.random(-485.09, 465.36)

	rcc = rc:Clone()
	rcc.Name = "CoinClone"
	rcc.Parent = game.Workspace
	rcc.Position = Vector3.new(x, .5, z)
	wait(1)
end

I just put that in and now it’s not cloning it at all.

Try removing the decimals in the Min / Max of both randoms

You mentioned this error

which means that rc is a model. You should use :PivotTo(CFrame.new(x, .5, z)) instead.

Also, adding decimal places on the parameters of math.random won’t do anything since math.random returns an integer.

Also, its better to set the properties of an instance before parenting.

local rc = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Coin")

while true do
    local x = math.random(-466, 446)
    local z = math.random(-485, 465)

	local rcc = rc:Clone()
	rcc.Name = "CoinClone"
	rcc:PivotTo(CFrame.new(x, .5, z))
	rcc.Parent = workspace
	wait(1)
end

You are trying to make the MODEL move, And position is not found in the properties of model. So if u are trying to make it move, You will need to weld the other stuff in it to the Primary Part (Primary part of your choice), Then clone the model and make the PRIMARY PART move, That will fix it.

Or PivotTo would also work, Or MoveTo can also work
