Im trying to make it so a cloned object can go telaport to the humanoid root part, its getting an error though;

  22:52:38.793  Unable to cast Instance to CoordinateFrame  -  Client - Abilitys:27
  22:52:38.793  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  22:52:38.793  Script 'Workspace.NubblyFry.Dandilion Collecter.Abilitys', Line 27 - function SummonAbility  -  Studio - Abilitys:27

FXClone.Position = FXClone:PivotTo(script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"))

Script

local Tool = script.Parent

local Ability1Combo = 0

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local AbilityFX2 = RS:WaitForChild("AbilityFX2")

local Debounce = false

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if Debounce == false then
		task.wait(1)
		Ability1Combo = Ability1Combo + 1
	else
		if Debounce ~= false then
			print("Ability 2 Is On Cooldown...")
		end
	end
end)

local function SummonAbility()
	Debounce = true
	print("The Ability Flower Power Has Been Summoned")
	local FXClone = AbilityFX2:Clone()
	FXClone.Parent = workspace
	FXClone.Position = FXClone:PivotTo(script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"))
	task.wait(30)
	Ability1Combo = 0
	Debounce = false
end

while true do
	task.wait()
	if Ability1Combo == 3 then
		Ability1Combo = 0
		
		task.wait(0.5)

		SummonAbility()
	end
end


while true do
	task.wait(0.5)
	print(Ability1Combo)
end

The PivotTo method takes a CFrame object as an argument, not an actual instance.

Try this:

FXClone.Position = FXClone:PivotTo(script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame)

Side note, it also doesn’t return anything, so it should throw an error attempting to set the position of FXClone to it. Just call it directly.

It works but, the Orientation is strange.

Reviving dead topic, Im getting a similar issue however PivotTo is not throwing any issues. My slab of code goes like this, under a RenderStepped. renderloop() works just fine and doesnt manipulate anything using PivotTo and everything in PivotTo breaks. Ive done multiple posts on the topic and no one has a clue, I saw this and thought this might be a case of help. Thanks.

    local char = Player.Character
	riggy = rig:Clone() print("rig cloned")
	riggy.Parent = CurrentCamera
	riggy.PrimaryPart = riggy.HumanoidRootPart

        loop = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
            if riggy.PrimaryPart == riggy.HumanoidRootPart then
			    riggy:PivotTo(CurrentCamera.CFrame * module.CameraOffset * WalkingOffset)
		    end
    renderloop()
end)

You should take this to dms, as its bumping a 1m old post.
