Why isn't the part I want to tween moving?

I'm trying to move this model from one place to the place I want. This was the code I wrote and I tweaked it a little bit and i got it from the Roblox Wiki: (Written In A LocalScript)

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(120)
local goal = {}
goal.Position = Vector3.new(68.92, 2, -19.63)
local tween = TweenService:Create(goal, tweenInfo, script.Parent)
tween:Play()

What I wanted to do was tween a part but the duration from when it got to it's current position to the goal position would be 2 minutes. (120 seconds) I tried the code above, and it didn't move at all. What am I doing wrong??

Why are you using a LocalScript? TweenService also works for Server Scripts. Also, I don't think you can move models like that since the Position property does not exist in a model.

Hey there! I'm BlackOrange here to help!

First off, unfortunately, you cannot tween Models. Secondly, TweenService is only for ServerScripts

https://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/API:Class/TweenService

Now, if this was a ServerScript (Script) in a Part (Not a model), then your script would work.

Though this is a very simple fix, I do suggest better variable names like this:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Part = script.Parent

local TweenTime = TweenInfo.new(120) -- since this is the time

local goal = {}
goal.Position = Vector3.new(68.92, 2, -19.63)

local CreateTween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenTime, goal)
CreateTween:Play()

Whiling I was typing that I noticed you got 2 arguments wrong, the Object comes first in this case Part, then TweenTime then goal. Try this new script I have made and make sure it's a Script. Also make sure the part isn't already in the position 68.92,2,-19.63 or you won't see anything happenings.

Hopefully this helped! Best of luck!

Sorry @BlackOrange3343, it didn't work. I wrote that code in a ServerScript (Script) and the part that has the script child didn't budge. I switched the time to 2 seconds, still didn't budge. I put the script in a separate part and it still didn't budge. Help please! :(

@BlackOrange3343 is correct, the script does work. I tested it out myself, make sure it's a Server Script, and it's inside of the part. @Chez_Guy

@BlackOrange3343 TweenService isn't only a server-only service, it can also be used in localscripts.

@op nothing's wrong with this script, unless you parented the script to a place where it can't work or probably you kept the part at the position you're attempting to tween the part to

Well guess what? Stupid me left the Script disabled. After my many minutes of rage, I enabled it and it worked! Thank you so much Orange!!
