For translation, you use CFrame * CFrame

Also, lookVector is a Vector3 value. To move a CFrame by Vector3, you would do

CFrame * CFrame.new(Vector3)

partb.CFrame = partb.CFrame * CFrame.new(parta.CFrame.lookVector * 2)

It should. I've tested it and it moves one brick in the direction that the other is facing. Maybe it stops before getting to the line. Is this the whole script? Because if it is, then maybe "PartA" doesn't exist. UgOsMiLy 1074 — 6y

Are you trying to move PartB in front of part A? The script moves PartB in the direction that PartA is facing. To move it in front of PartA, you would do partb.CFrame = parta.CFrame * CFrame.new(parta.CFrame.lookVector * 2) UgOsMiLy 1074 — 6y
