How would one go about taking a set position that a user entered into a GUI and having it position a brick at those coordinates?

Have 3 textbox for X Y Z and then by creating a script such as:

EnterButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
game.Workspace.INSERTNAMEOFBRICK.Position = CFrame.new(XBox, YBox, Zbox)
end)

Also make sure to have a TextButton for the Enter. By doing this you use CFrame to change the positions using Vector3 (Or CFrame). CFrame and Vector3 include a X,Y,Z. Entering the coordinates (X,Y,Z) you change the position.

Whenever I change the Text values in-game it doesn't update and the brick stays in the same spot. Blackbrick2896 0 — 9y

Assuming you're going off of the Text property of the Gui then what you have to do is take the text, and convert it into a number using the tonumber method, and use the result as the arguments for the CFrame.

E.G.

local text = gui.Text
local num = tonumber(text)
local Cframe = CFrame.new(num)

workspace.Part.CFrame = Cframe
