So i found a mesh of a circle that i can use to change it's scale through scripting but i can't seem to spawn the meshpart the way you would normally spawn a part.
local mesh = Instance.new("MeshPart")
mesh.MeshId = "rbxassetid://2425219842"
mesh.Transparency = 0.5
mesh.CanCollide = true
mesh.Anchored = true
mesh.Size = Vector3.new(20, 1, 1)
mesh.Parent = game.Workspace
My objective is to script a flat circle using meshes.
It's impossible to set a MeshPart's MeshId via a script due to the collision model of the mesh not being able to be recomputed during run-time.
One alternative though is something called a SpecialMesh. SpecialMeshes allow for developers to provide a standard template or user uploaded meshes to a BasePart.
You can set the MeshId of a SpecialMesh like so:
local mesh = Instance.new("SpecialMesh")
mesh.MeshType = Enum.MeshType.FileMesh
mesh.MeshId = "rbxassetid:// " -- Your MeshId here
Another solution would to just store your meshes in ReplicatedStorage and parent them to the workspace/descendant of the workspace whenever you want to use them.
yeah don't give credit to me for that last method.
ok so i was gonna say that before you did but then i decided not to and then i refreshed i saw your reply and thought to add it in anyway lol
thanks guys

Yes but you can't set the MeshId through a script.
So how would i be able to set it?
Just put a premade mesh in ReplicatedStorage or ServerStorage and clone that into the workspace when you need to.
