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:

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)

    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        torso = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso")

            if torso ~= nil then 
                torso.Position.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(-6, 0.5, -12))

        end
    end
end)

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)
