How do I get a model's position?
I need to clone a model and move it to another part of a place, and after a given amount of time, move the model back to its original position. Unfortunately, I don't know the coordinates of the models starting position, so I can't move it back there. Doing something like this:
1 | print(game.Workspace.Model.Position) |
will give an error because models don't have a position property. I know there must be some way to get it, because using the :moveTo() method moves the center of a model to a given point, so does anyone know how?

One way to do this would be to set a PrimaryPart of the model.
01 | local Model = Game.ServerStorage.Thing |
02 | Model.PrimaryPart = Model.PrimaryPartThing |
03 | local NewPosition = CFrame.new(12312,31231231,3123112) |
04 |
05 |
06 | local OldPosition = Model:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() |
07 | Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(NewPosition) |
08 |
09 | wait(312312) |
10 |
11 | Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(OldPosition) |

you can also put an invisible block with the same x,y size values and set it to that...
