Im making a game about rolling balls, I cant figure out how to make it so the brand new part turns into a ball not a brick.
--code snippet
ball = Instance.new("Part") ball.Position = Vector3.new("18.96, 44.902, -191.859") ball.Anchored = false ball.Shape = Ball < Error ball.Parent = game.Workspace
the error it gives me is "Invalid value for enum Shape"
Easy, do this:
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Parent = workspace
part.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
you can just use line 3, it should work unless you change the ball's variable name.
And also, please use lua code blocks, they are at the top of the text body where you write questions and you should see a icon that says "Lua" on it, then put your code there.
let me know if you need more help!
There are two ways to do this, one with changing the shape of the base part instance (which can change the physical behavior), or by using a SpecialMesh (does not affect physical behavior but can give a better variety of shapes)
-- First Method
local Part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(18.96,44.902,-191.859)
Part.Anchored = false
Part.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
-- Second Method
local Part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(18.96,44.902,-191.859)
Part.Anchored = false
local SpecialMesh = Instance.new("SpecialMesh")
SpecialMesh.MeshType = Enum.MeshType.Sphere
SpecialMesh.Parent = Part
SpecialMesh.Scale = Part.Size
simply change it to Enum.PartType.Ball

ball = Instance.new("Part")
ball.Position = Vector3.new("18.96, 44.902, -191.859")
ball.Anchored = false
ball.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
ball.Parent = game.Workspace

capitalize "I" in 'instance'
instance is deprecated, do Instance.new
