I'm developing a roblox game and I'm having an issue with an this Random Item Spawner code?

Asked 130 views2 answers

The specific problem I'm having is specifically with CFrame...

local Spawners = game.Workspace.Spawners:GetChildren()

local Arrow_ = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild('Items')

local Arrow = Arrow_:FindFirstChild('ArrowModel')

function SpawnArrow()
	local NewArrow = Arrow:Clone()
	local ArrowSpawn = Spawners[math.random(1, #Spawners)]
	
	 ArrowSpawn.CFrame = Arrow.CFrame
	
	NewArrow.Parent = workspace
end

while true do 
	SpawnArrow()
	
	wait(5)
end

On line 11 whenever I run the code I get a reoccurring issue that states, "CFrame is not a valid member of Model "ServerStorage.Items.ArrowModel"" and I don't know how to exactly change or fix this.

Models do not have CFrames, you will need to use something like PivotTo or PrimaryPart.

Just as @SamZeKat said, models don't have a CFrame. Thankfully, because of the new updates, Roblox added the function to set and get a Pivot of a Part and Model. This is very important for models so you don't need to set a PrimaryPart anymore. If a model doesn't have a PrimaryPart, its pivot is in the middle. Keep in mind you can edit it.

To get the CFrame of a Model, just use Model:GetPivot() and instead of ArrowSpawn.CFrame = Arrow.CFrame, you should use NewArrow:PivotTo(ArrowSpawn:GetPivot()) since they're both Models (i assume), you tried to position a random spawn in an instance inside ServerStorage, and you teleport the spawn to the arrow instead of the arrow teleporting to a spawn.

local Arrow_ = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Items
local Arrow = Arrow_:FindFirstChild("ArrowModel")

function SpawnArrow()
	local Spawners = workspace.Spawners:GetChildren()
	
	local NewArrow = Arrow:Clone()
	local ArrowSpawn = Spawners[math.random(1, #Spawners)]
	
	NewArrow:PivotTo(ArrowSpawn:GetPivot())

	NewArrow.Parent = workspace
end

while task.wait(5) do 
	SpawnArrow()
end

ok so assuming that you have your primary part set in your model(primary part is in the properties of the model, just choose a random part thats gonna be the base of the item) 

local arrowcframe = Arrow.CFrame
NewArrow.Parent = workspace
ArrowSpawn:PivotTo(arrowcframe)
