The part named "Cargo" is supposed to be welded to a part called CargoHolder in the ship when it touches the ship's hull. It welds, but the cargo's CFrame is supposed to be set to the CFrame of CargoHolder. Instead it appears about 200 studs away from the ship and the CargoHolder part.

In other words, Cargo's CFrame needs to be set to CargoHolder's CFrame, and two studs above. What do I do?

ship = script.Parent.Parent
hull = ship.Hull
hull.Touched:connect(function(cargo)
	if cargo.Name == "Cargo" and cargo.ClassName == "Part" then
		
		local cargoWeld = Instance.new("Weld",ship.CargoHolder)
		cargoWeld.Name = "CargoWeld"
		cargoWeld.Part0 = ship.CargoHolder
		cargoWeld.Part1 = cargo
		cargoWeld.C0 = ship.CargoHolder.CFrame:inverse()
		cargoWeld.C1 = cargo.CFrame:inverse()
		cargo.CFrame = ship.CargoHolder.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,2,0)
		print("cargo attached to CargoHolder")
		
	end
end)

You don't have to do what I say,but a great way to have less lag in your game is by deleting the second parameter in Instance.new(), then after you doing the properties, do instanceName.Parent = the parent of the instance(The second parameter of Instance.new is deprecated. If you don't change any properties, you can use the second parameter), another thing I recommend to do is to get into the habi

Use addition, not multiplication with a Vector3.

So like cargo.CFrame = ship.CargoHolder.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,2,0)?

And thanks for telling me about the second parameter in Instance.new, that helps.

I switched lines 10 and 11, so cargoWeld.C0 = cargo.CFrame:inverse() cargoWeld.C1 = ship.CargoHolder.CFrame:inverse() and now the cargo is set to the position of CargoHolder. But it needs to be 2 studs higher.
