Why doesn't my script successfully generate a biome and connect them together?
For some reason, my script isn't really working the way I want it to. it positions my first block and then bam, the rest are sent to variations of the vectors (1,1,1). I've tried to generate it multiple times. Is there anything I can do different to make it work? ( also nothing in the output) Here is the script:
_G.GenerateBiomes = function()
local storage = game.Workspace.Biomes
local Marsh, Forest, Savannah = storage.Marsh, storage.Forest, storage.Savannah
local Terrains = game.ReplicatedStorage.Terrains
for x=1,50 do
local part = Terrains.Grass_Terrain:Clone() -- Creates a Part and makes it a descendant of Workspace
part.Parent = Forest
part.Name = "Generated_Grass["..x.."]"
part.Anchored = true -- Prevents the part from moving.
if x ~= 1 then
part.Position =((Vector3.new(math.random(70, 100), 1, math.random(1, 84)) - Vector3.new(Forest:FindFirstChild("Generated_Grass[".. x - 1 .."]"))).magnitude/Vector3.new(83.96, 1, 77.71))
else
part.Position = Vector3.new(-357.015, 1.3, -872.373)
end
end
end

In addition to your x variable, you'll also need a second variable (z) as you're indexing the positions of terrain elements in a plane - a two-dimensional space.
storage = game.Workspace.Biomes
unitTerrain = game.ReplicatedStorage.Terrains.Grass_Terrain --A single part of terrain
unitTerrain.CFrame = CFrame.new(unitTerrain.Position) --Correct Rotation
width = unitTerrain.Size.X
length = unitTerrain.Size.Z
gridSize = 50 --Assuming a square grid
startPosition = Vector3.new(-357.015, 1.3, -872.373) --lower left corner of grid
for x = 1, gridSize do
for z = 1, gridSize do
local newPart = unitTerrain:Clone()
newPart.Anchored = true
newPart.Parent = workspace
newPart.Position = startPosition + Vector3.new((x-1)*width, 0, (z-1)*length)
end
end
