Using a for loop, how do I make a part move 5 studs to the right each time it cloned?

Asked 168 views1 answers

Hey, I'm new to scripting and I would like to know how you would move a part 5 studs to the right each time it is cloned using a for loop. (basically so it moves 5 studs to the right of the last cloned part's position)

I'm guessing you need to use a return statement to do this?

Here is my current code:

(it clones an object 70 times but in the same position)

local part = game.Workspace.PartToBeCloned


for i = 1, 70 do
local clone = part:Clone()
clone.Parent = game.Workspace
clone.Anchored = true
clone.Position = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
	end

What you would do is update the variable part every time the part is cloned, and calculate the distance from that. 

local part = game.Workspace.PartToBeCloned

for i = 1, 70 do
	local clone = part:Clone()
	clone.Parent = game.Workspace
	clone.Anchored = true
	clone.Position = part.Position + Vector3.new(5,0,0)
	
	part = clone
end

(You weren't adjusting it's position at all with your previous code too)

Hope this helps!
