Force a model to a specific position without collide?

Asked by

I have this car spawner with the car in game.ServerStorage. The only problem is, that the MoveTo function does not move the car to the position to spawn it.

ction GenerateCar()
--pcall(function() LastCar:Destroy() end)
script.Parent.Gen.BillboardGui.Frame.Visible=true
script.Parent.Gen.BillboardGui.Frame.TextLabel.Text="Covering Area."
local clone=game.ServerStorage.Car:clone()
clone:MoveTo(script.Parent.Cover.Position)
wait()

Once the car starts to appear, it starts spawning in where it was cut and pasted to game.ServerStorage.

Any ways to c-frame models?

First off, I would recommend making sure you're parenting the car (which you do not appear to be doing ;P). Second off, here's a script that should CFrame models nicely:

function scan(v, t) -- This is called a recursive function
    for i, v in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
        if (v:IsA("BasePart")) then
            table.insert(t, v)
        end

        scan(v, t)
    end
end

function cframeModel(model, basePart, cframe) -- basePart will have the exact same CFrame as "cframe". Other parts will be moved around it.
    local parts = {}
    scan(model, parts) -- This will update the parts table... tables are awesome!

    for i, part in pairs(parts) do
        print("Doing for part", part:GetFullName())

        if (part ~= basePart) then
            local dist = basePart.CFrame:inverse() * part.CFrame
            part.CFrame = cframe * dist
        end
    end

    basePart.CFrame = cframe
end

cframeModel(game.Workspace.Model, game.Workspace.Model.BasePart, CFrame.new(0, 10, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)) -- An example of how to use this

Note that basePart will have the exact same CFrame as cframe. Other parts will be moved around it accordingly.

model:TranslateBy(Vector3.new(0,1,0))

That will move the Model the distance specified by the Vector3. It works just like CFrame too. (in the way that it goes inside of things.)

This worked. Thank you. This should have been added to the wiki, since I use it A LOT. Nickoakz 231 — 10y

You should totally click that green check for me. ;) TheGuyWithAShortName 673 — 10y

I thought this worked, until it keeps moving like 100 units away from where I want it to be. Nickoakz 231 — 10y

I don't think you understand how it works. model:TranslateBy(Vector3.new(0,10,0)) would move it 10 studs up from it's current position. It would NOT move it to the position (0,10,0). TheGuyWithAShortName 673 — 10y

This moved my model to the position, yes. But it moved it with collide, noes. Nickoakz 231 — 10y
