Hiaa guys. Sorry again sorry for all the questions ;). Quick quesion here, about Vector3 and CFrame values. I want to know how to convert a value from CFrame to Vector3 and vice - versa. Here's an example:

01wait(2)
02blue = game.Workspace.BlueSpawn
03red = game.Workspace.RedSpawn
04Var = 0
05players = game.Players:GetChildren()
06 
07function SpwnTele()
08    print(player.Value.Value)
09        if player.Value.Value=="blue" then
10        player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(blue.Position)) --heres the line I need help with
11        print(player.Character.Torso.CFrame)
12        else
13        player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(red.Position)) --and this one too
14        print(player.Character.Torso.CFrame)
15        end
16    end
17 
18for i,v in pairs(players) do
19    if Vteam==nil then
20        player = v
21        Vteam = Instance.new("StringValue")
22        Vteam.Parent = v
23        Var = math.random(1,2)
24        if Var==1 then
25            Vteam.Value = "red"
26            SpwnTele()
27        elseif Var==2 then
28            Vteam.Value = "blue"
29            SpwnTele()
30        end
31    end
32end

Sorry if the script is a bit long. If you find a errors within the script, speak up! (BTW the script is supposed to create a string value for each player then pick a random team color, from which the player will be teleported to the corresponding Part with that color.) THX!!

CFrame values have two Vector3 values in it:

1) The position the part is positioned at

2) The position that the part is facing

To get the position:

`1`	`local` `pos` `=` `part.CFrame.p`

To get where it is facing:

1local pos = part.CFrame.LookVector
2 
3-- or, if you want individual numbers
4 
5local posX, posY, posZ = part.CFrame.X, part.CFrame.Y, part.CFrame.Z

And how would I use this method of conversion in my script? LateralLace 297 — 9y

I just gave it to you. The values inside CFrame values are Vector3 values, so you don't really need to convert, you just need to index them. TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 9y

Well... I guess it's good enough. LateralLace 297 — 9y
