local PreviousPart = math.floor(Number - 1)
local PreviousPartName = "Part"..PreviousPart
local Motor = Instance.new("Motor6D",Part)

"Bad cast" happens when you give a ROBLOX function or object something which it's not looking for.
In this case, you are giving your script (called "Script" in explorer) to Part0, on line 11.
This is because in your loop you don't check that Part is actually a part!
You need to add a :IsA check to each Part to make sure:
local Model = script.Parent
for Number,Part in pairs (Model:GetChildren()) do
if Part:IsA("BasePart") then
local PreviousPart = math.floor(Number - 1)
local PreviousPartName = "Part"..PreviousPart
local Motor = Instance.new("Motor6D",Part)
print(PreviousPartName)
Motor.Part0 = Part
Motor.Part1 = Model.PreviousPartName
print(Motor.Part0)
Motor.DesiredAngle = -Number
end
end

What's the diffrence between a BasePart and a Part? kevinnight45 550 — 9y

"BasePart" is a 'super class' which means you can't actually make one. BUT, all part-like things are BaseParts (WedgePart,TrussPart, SpawnLocation, CornerWedgePart, etc) so it would catch anything you can touch BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y
