I'm trying to have a part clone every second and move 10 units on the X Axis. Is there a way to clone something and have it move 10 units in a direction?
while true do
wait(1)
f = script.Parent:Clone(game.Workspace)
r = script.Parent.Position.X
f.Position = (r - 10)
end
--f is the original part
--c is the new cloned part
while true do
wait(1)
f = script.Parent
fpos = f.Position
c = f:Clone()
c.Parent = game.Workspace
c.Position = Vector3.new(fpos.X - 10, fpos.Y, fpos.Z)
end
If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to fix the script. If it does work, let me know! Good luck on your scripting journey!
Just letting you know, but you forgot a '.' between c and Position. This script should work besides that.
This script clones it but it doesnt move the position.
@ dyer Thanks for letting me know! @attack The script should work now!
You had a few mistakes in your script. Anyways, here's the fixed one, and I'll explain your mistakes after the script:
while true do
wait(1)
f = script.Parent:Clone()
f.Parent = game.Workspace
r = script.Parent.Position
f.CFrame = CFrame.new(r)*CFrame.new(-10,0,0)
end
So, in your script you had this:
f.Position = (r - 10)
This in incorrect because the game needs you to specify what type of data you're using. Here, I fixed it, and put "CFrame.new" before to specify it. "CFrame" is the same as "Vector3" which specifies location, but "CFrame" can be used more flexibly, which is why I decided to switch to that.
f = script.Parent:Clone(game.Workspace)
Your other error was when you put the parent of the cloned part inside the cloning methods parentheses. This doesn't work for whatever reason, so you would need to set the parent outside of that.
Anyways, I really hope I helped clarify some things for you. Good luck scripting, and I hope I helped :P
Um dude, there was nothing wrong with f.Position = Vector3.new(r - 10). You are allowed to leave it like that.
I don't think you can put the location you want to clone the object to into the clone method, unfortunately, I fixed it below for you by adding the extra line which will parent f into workspace. Also, make it a valid position with CFraming
while true do
wait(1)
f = script.Parent:Clone() --Can't put clone parent here
f.Parent = game.Workspace -- Added parent line here
r = script.Parent.Position.X
f.CFrame = CFrame.new(r)*CFrame.new(-10,0,0) -- CFraming
end
You would also need to fix the Positioning of it. He didn't put the "Vector3" there.
o yea, ill fix that right now
For cloning, there are no parameters. So there is no script.Parent:Clone(game.Workspace). Also, if you leave only one number(in this case it's the part's X axis - 10), only the X axis will be set and the rest of the values like y and z will be 0 on default.
#Clone To set the parent of a cloned part, just set the parent like how you usually do:
f = script.Parent:Clone()
f.Parent = workspace --Or game.Workspace
--or
script.Parent:Clone().Parent = workspace --Or game.Workspace
#Positions Use CFrame instead incase there is a part in the way. Use Vector3.new or CFrame.new. You just can't have random numbers everywhere.
f.Position = Vector3.new(r - 10) --only changes the X
If you want to change the other values add the Y and Z values
f.Position = Vector3.new(r - 10, 0, 50)
If you want to change it RELATIVE to the original part's position:
f.Position = (f.Position.X,f.Position.Y+10,f.Position.Z ) --Moves the part up 10 studs.
#Final Product
while wait(1) do
local p = script.Parent:Clone()
p.Parent = workspace
local pos = p.Position
p.CFrame = CFrame.new(p.X-10,p.Y,p.Z)
end
Hope it helps!
