What is wrong with my explosion script?

Asked 322 views1 answers

I have a brick and it has text above it, and i made this script so it counts down then the text changes and says different stuff but the explosion wont work at the end. It says "Position is not a valid member of Model" and the brick wont remove as i put in the command at the bottom. Please help.

x=script.Parent

 for i=10,0, -1 do
wait(1)
x.Name=(i)
if i==0 then x.Name="BOOM!"
	wait(2.2)
	x.Name="Haha"
	wait(1.2)
	x.Name="just kidding"
	wait(0.9)
	x.Name="But, seriously"
	wait(0.5)
	x.Name="BOOM!"
	wait(0.001)
	local e = Instance.new("Explosion")
	e.Position = x.Position
	e.Parent = game.Workspace
	e.BlastPressure = 100000
	e.BlastRadius = 120
	x:remove()
	
end
end

It doesn't make sense to use if i == 0 in this case. If you mean after the countdown, then just put it *after the for loop:

x = script.Parent

for i=10,0, -1 do
	wait(1)
	x.Name = i
end

wait(2.2)
x.Name = "Haha"
wait(1.2)
x.Name = "just kidding"
wait(0.9)
x.Name = "But, seriously"
wait(0.5)
x.Name = "BOOM!"
wait(0.001)
local e = Instance.new("Explosion")
e.Position = x.Position
e.Parent = game.Workspace
e.BlastPressure = 100000
e.BlastRadius = 120
x:Remove()

The error is exactly what it says. x is a Model, but Models don't have a .Position property.

I'm assuming this is a Humanoid, and so x.Head is some part. In that case, you could use x.Head.Position

If for some reason you can't use a part's position, you can use x:GetModelCFrame().p to mean somewhere around the middle of the overall model.
