How to set Model's position with Vector3 coordinates ?
I've tried moving a model to a specific position. However, the position is in Vector3. I used SetPrimaryPartCFrame but i dont know how to convert Vector3 in CFrame
Here is my script :
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, mousePosition)
local model = game.Workspace.Model:Clone()
model.Parent = game.Workspace
model.PrimaryPart = spike.Part
print(mousePosition)
model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(mousePosition) -- This doesnt work : it puts the model to the spawn position 0,0,0
end)
This part is from the LocalScript that fires the event :
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local mousePosition = mouse.Hit.p
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mousePosition)

Models have a method for this as well, and it is called MoveTo.
:MoveTo() acts similarly to :SetPrimaryPartCFrame() in that it will move your part to the desired CFrame/Position albeit that Vector3 is much different from CFrame.
So, in the code you have provided -- you would do:
-- Server Script
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, mousePosition)
local model = game.Workspace.Model:Clone()
model.Parent = game.Workspace
model:MoveTo(mousePosition)
end)
This will set the model's children to the correct locations relative to mousePosition.
Other solutions:
Send Mouse.Hit instead of Mouse.Hit.p, this is the CFrame location of the same point.
Convert Mouse.Hit.p into a CFrame by using CFrame.new(Mouse.Hit.p)
