How do I change the y position of every part?

Asked 1,002 views1 answers

I'm (sort of) laying tile in this game. Somehow some of the tiles seem (very randomly) to be .2 above the others on the y axis making them not line up properly. I need to change the y potision of every tile to 0.5.

I want to do this AND keep the changes.

Here is the function I made.

function fix() local children = game.Workspace:GetChildren() children.Position = Vector3.new(Position.x,.5,Position.z) end

fix()

I'm not sure how to change all childrens y position without changing the x and z position.

are they in a model? named the same? same size? really all i'm asking is if there's a way to reference them all

They can all be referenced by workspace:getchildren()

I just don't know how to change the y position alone without changing the x and z position. (Look at the edit I made).

Oh well if they can be referenced by that then...

for _, part in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	part.Position = part.Position + Vector3.new(0, 0.5, 0)
end

edit:

for _, part in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if part:IsA("BasePart") then
		part.CFrame = part.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, -part.Position.Y + 0.5, 0)
	end
end

Running that script alone doesn't do it for me. Sorry I'm really bad at scripting and am just probably forgetting something simple. I need all parts in game.Workspace to have a y position of 0.5, but their x and z positions unchanged.

oh well this moves them up by 0.5 but I will change it

Am I supposed to just copy the code and run it? Still none of the parts are changed.

I would do it in the run bar on the bottom

Okay. When I ran it in the output I got a very strange result. Lots of parts were pushed in weird ways while many still remained unchanged.

Are you sure the only parts you intended to move were in workspace? I'm not really sure what else to say

I moved everything else intro the server storage to get it out of the way. I am running the script you gave me in the output. Some parts stay the exact same and some jump way out of place (like a full stud)
