CFrame cannot be assigned to?

if this question has been answered before just direct me there, if not then I'd (obviously) ask for the answer to this problem:

01script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
02 
03    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
04        torso = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso")
05 
06            if torso ~= nil then
07                torso.Position.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(-6, 0.5, -12))
08 
09        end
10    end
11end)

now I understand its probably better to use a local script, but in certain cases it may be better to use scripts inside the two parts anyway- and actually I've made another teleporter using a local script, the syntax is the same for going through the character and torso and cframe- and it works, but here it doesn't. why is this? I think the problem lies within getting to the players character, or maybe it would be slightly different outside a local script for whatever reason. (that's just my thoughts)

you are trying to set the CFrame to a Position and not to torso. 1waffle1 2908 — 8y

Your problem is with line 7. Here you wrote:

`1`	`torso.Position.CFrame` `=` `CFrame.new(...)`

What I assume you meant to write is:

`1`	`torso.CFrame` `=` `CFrame.new(...)`

Position holds a Vector3 value, which doesn't have a member called CFrame.

oh it was a simple mistake, my bad- but thanks anyway. ProgramsMan 100 — 8y
