How do I use Vector3 to make a block summon infront of my character?

Hi, I am trying to make a script that makes a part (sharingan) summon in front of my player. But there is an issue, when ever I click F the part summons only on the position that I spawned on.

Extra Question: How do I make the sharingan clone properly. When I use :Clone() the sharingan does not clone itself and the sharingan also does not teleport.

But when I dont clone the sharingan, then the sharingan only teleports to the spawn.

Here is my script:

01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local character = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
03local humanoid = character.Humanoid
04local postion = character.Torso.Position
05 
06local activate = player.PlayerScripts.Sharingan.Activated
07local sound = player.PlayerScripts.Sharingan.Ssound
08local sound2 = player.PlayerScripts.Sharingan.SsoundDeactivate
09local sharingan = game.Workspace.Sharingan:Clone()  --how do I fix this?--
10local chakra = player.PlayerGui.SharinganImage.Chakra
11local chakraimage = player.PlayerGui.SharinganImage.ChakraText
12local mouse = player:GetMouse()
13 
14 
15 
16mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
17    if key == "f" then
18        if activate.Value ==false then
19          if chakra.Value > 50 then
20            sound.TimePosition = 0
21            sound.Playing = true
22            sharingan.Position = Vector3.new(postion)
23            activate.Value = true
24            print("ON!")  --delete this soon--
25            humanoid.MaxHealth = 200
26            humanoid.Health = 200
27            humanoid.WalkSpeed = humanoid.WalkSpeed + 30
28            chakra.Value = chakra.Value - 50
29            chakraimage.Text = chakra.Value
30        end
31        else
32            activate.Value = false
33            print("OFF!") --delete soon!--
34            humanoid.MaxHealth = 100
35            humanoid.Health = 50
36            humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
37        end
38    end
39end)

Mouse.KeyDown is deprecated. User#19524 175 — 6y

Try to use CFrame instead and does it set the parent to workspace, etc StayToasted 3 — 6y

`Mouse.KeyDown` is deprecated, so is `:connect()` and `:wait()`. Learn more on deprecation here.

The reason it clones to the position you spawned at, is because on line 4, you're automatically recording the position of your torso. It does not change when your position changes.

01local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
02local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
03local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
04local humanoid = character.Humanoid
05-- local postion = character.Torso.Position
06 
07local activate = player.PlayerScripts.Sharingan.Activated
08local sound = player.PlayerScripts.Sharingan.Ssound
09local sound2 = player.PlayerScripts.Sharingan.SsoundDeactivate
10local sharingan = game.Workspace.Sharingan:Clone()  
11local chakra = player.PlayerGui.SharinganImage.Chakra
12local chakraimage = player.PlayerGui.SharinganImage.ChakraText
13local mouse = player:GetMouse()
14 
15userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, chatting)
16    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and not chatting then
17        if not activate.Value then
18          if chakra.Value > 50 then
19            sound.TimePosition = 0
20            sound.Playing = true
21            sharingan.Position = Vector3.new(postion)
22            activate.Value = true
23            print("ON!")  --delete this soon--
24            humanoid.MaxHealth = 200
25            humanoid.Health = 200
26            humanoid.WalkSpeed = humanoid.WalkSpeed + 30
27            chakra.Value = chakra.Value - 50
28            chakraimage.Text = chakra.Value
29            -- probably will want to position the sharingan here, idk. 
30        end

32        else
33            activate.Value = false
34            print("OFF!") --delete soon!
35            humanoid.MaxHealth = 100
36            humanoid.Health = 50
37            humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
38        end

First of all, after using Clone(), you need to parent the copy back to workspace, as its initial parent is nil.

Now, to place the sharingan in front of the player, you need to set its CFrame to the player's torso's CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,i) where i is the number of studs away from the player's torso. Note that it has to be the Z axis, so the 3rd argument of CFrame.new().

So, properly done, it would look like this:

1local copy = sharingan:Clone()
2copy.Parent = workspace
3--if it is a model
4copy:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,5))
5--if it is a basepart
6copy.CFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,5)

How do I use Vector3 to make a block summon infront of my character?
