How do I make a randomizer with different levels of rarity and then teleport meshparts using it?
Okay, I'm working on a mining game and I need some help with this script. It's a math.random randomizer with different rarity for each ore. I thought it would work, but nothing is cloning or teleporting. I'm still reasonably new to scripting and this might be completely wrong, so any help would be much appreciated. If you're still confused, I'll give you an example. If the math.random picks 32 then the script should clone a Diamond Ore to the position in the variable 'pos'. P.S. All "... Ore Models" are MeshParts if it helps.
orenumber = math.random(1,55) pos = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(18, 1.248, 64)) copper = game.Workspace["Copper Ore Model"] steel = game.Workspace["Steel Ore Model"] gold = game.Workspace["Gold Ore Model"] diamond = game.Workspace["Diamond Ore Model"] amethyst = game.Workspace["Amethyst Ore Model"] quartz = game.Workspace["Quartz Ore Model"] blackopal = game.Workspace["Black Opal Ore Model"] jadeite = game.Workspace["Jadeite Ore Model"] musgravite = game.Workspace["Musgravite Ore Model"] painite = game.Workspace["Painite Ore Model"] if orenumber == 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 then copper:Clone().CFrame = pos elseif orenumber == 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 or 15 or 16 or 17 or 18 or 19 then steel:Clone().CFrame = pos elseif orenumber == 20 or 21 or 22 or 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 or 27 then gold:Clone().CFrame = pos elseif orenumber == 29 or 30 or 31 or 32 or 33 or 34 then diamond:Clone().CFrame = pos elseif orenumber == 35 or 36 or 37 or 38 or 39 or 40 then amethyst:Clone().CFrame = pos elseif orenumber == 41 or 42 or 43 or 44 or 45 then quartz:Clone().CFrame = pos elseif orenumber == 46 or 47 or 48 or 49 then blackopal:Clone().CFrame = pos elseif orenumber == 50 or 51 or 52 then jadeite:Clone().CFrame = pos elseif orenumber == 53 or 54 then musgravite:Clone().CFrame = pos elseif orenumber == 55 then painite:Clone().CFrame = pos end

Your using CFrame and only including one parameter which is a Vector3. It isint ConvertToCFrame, it is CFrame.new. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

This does work, but since you did not set its parent, it is just lost in the heavens of your game, waiting to be parented. Also, CFrame needs 3 parameters, not 1. It is not ConvertToCFrame, so you should not have a vector3. Here is what your script should look like.
function ConvertToCFrame(pos)
if typeof(pos) == 'Vector3' then
return CFrame.new(pos.X, pos.Y, pos.Z)
elseif typeof(pos) == 'CFrame' then
return pos
else
return nil
end
end
orenumber = math.random(1,55)
pos = ConvertToCFrame(Vector3.new(18, 1.248, 64))
copper = game.Workspace["Copper Ore Model"]
steel = game.Workspace["Steel Ore Model"]
gold = game.Workspace["Gold Ore Model"]
diamond = game.Workspace["Diamond Ore Model"]
amethyst = game.Workspace["Amethyst Ore Model"]
quartz = game.Workspace["Quartz Ore Model"]
blackopal = game.Workspace["Black Opal Ore Model"]
jadeite = game.Workspace["Jadeite Ore Model"]
musgravite = game.Workspace["Musgravite Ore Model"]
painite = game.Workspace["Painite Ore Model"]
if orenumber == 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 then
local c = copper:Clone()
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace --DO NOT SET THE PARENT BEFORE YOU SET PROPERTIES.
--THIS CAUSES A BIG CHECK OF PROPERTIES ONCE PARENTED TO WORKSPACE.
elseif orenumber == 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 or 15 or 16 or 17 or 18 or 19 then
local c = steel:Clone()
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace
elseif orenumber == 20 or 21 or 22 or 23 or 24 or 25 or 26 or 27 then
local c = gold:Clone()
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace
elseif orenumber == 29 or 30 or 31 or 32 or 33 or 34 then
local c = diamond:Clone()
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace
elseif orenumber == 35 or 36 or 37 or 38 or 39 or 40 then
local c = amethyst:Clone()
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace
elseif orenumber == 41 or 42 or 43 or 44 or 45 then
local c = quartz:Clone()
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace
elseif orenumber == 46 or 47 or 48 or 49 then
local c = blackopal:Clone
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace
elseif orenumber == 50 or 51 or 52 then
local c = jadeite:Clone()
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace
elseif orenumber == 53 or 54 then
local c = musgravite:Clone()
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace
elseif orenumber == 55 then
local c = painite:Clone()
c.CFrame = pos
c.Parent = workspace
end
Also, read my bio, otherwise I may not answer a future question of yours.
Hope this helps!

Major problem, it only clones the meshpart and not it's children, if there's any chance you could make it clone + tp it's children that would be much appreciated. I've tried myself but it's just not working. 360noscopehamcob 20 — 6y

Is the children connected to ANYthing of the meshpart or in a group? hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y
