local Handle = script.Parent
local OvenDoor = Handle.Parent.OvenDoor

function openOven()
    for i = 1, 12 do
        print("Opening...")
        OvenDoor:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(5)))       
        wait()
    end
end

You need to set the primary part for the model. You can do this one of two ways:

local Model = workspace.Model;
Model.PrimaryPart = Model.SomePart;

Or, you can manually set it:

  • Click the model in explorer.
  • Click the blank input box next to the text "PrimaryPart" in the properties section. The mouse cursor should change.
  • Finally, click on a part that is a child (descendant) of the model that you want to be the primary part.
