Why isn't this shooting?

I'm trying to script build and I have this script:

01chr = workspace.supercoolguy53
02mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
03 
04part = Instance.new("Part",chr)
05part.CanCollide = false
06part.Anchored = true
07part.BrickColor = BrickColor.White()
08part.Transparency = .9
09part.Size = Vector3.new(7,7,7)
10mesh = Instance.new("SpecialMesh",part)
11mesh.MeshType = "Sphere"
12 
13part.Touched:connect(function(p)
14    local h = p.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
15    if h and h.Parent.Name ~= "supercoolguy53" then
16        h.Parent:Destroy()
17    end
18end)
19 
20mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
21    if key == 'q' then
22        wait()
23        local clone = part:clone()
24        clone.Parent = chr
25        clone.Name = 'part1'
26        wait()
27        for i = 1,500 do
28            game:GetService('RunService').RenderStepped:wait()
29            chr.part1.CFrame = chr.part1.CFrame.new(chr.Position + (chr.part1.CFrame.lookVector*.1))
30        end
31    end
32end)
33 
34while game:GetService('RunService').RenderStepped:wait()  do
35    part.CFrame = chr.Torso.CFrame
36end

Everything works except for I can't shoot it. When you press q you're supposed to shoot where ever you're looking, this is my first time with this 'lookVector' thing and I don;t quite understand it. I get this error new is not a valid member

You forgot the fact that CFrame is a global variable, and that the CFrames of bricks do not contain constructors to create more CFrames. You must use CFrame, not BasePart.CoordinateFrame.

Basically:

1local part = Instance.new('Part', workspace)
2part.CFrame = part.CFrame.new(0,5,0) --> error: new is not a valid member of part.CFrame
3part.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,5,0) --> part gets moved to 0,5,0

I hope I helped, if you have any questions, contact me.

It didn't shoot the way I was facing... It was shooting tho. Senor_Chung 210 — 9y

Well, that was a problem in your code. It should be fixed now. TerrodactyI 173 — 9y
