why cant I make a part point to another specific part?
I got this script on a brick (part1) for pointing another brick(part2)
part1 = script.Parent.parent.part1 part2 = script.Parent.parent.part2 CFrame.new(part1.Position,part2.Position)
and in the workspace i got two normal bricks called part1 and part2 with anchor and collisions on.
I preferred to use relative object selection because then i can store the parts where I want when I fix the problem.
the script would be theorically correct but when i start the game it doesnt change the orientation

local part1 = script.Parent.Parent.part1 local part2 = script.Parent.Parent.part2 part1.CFrame = CFrame.new(part1.Position, part2.Position)
Firstly, you need to capitalize all the parents when defining the variables, since Parent is a property of the parts
Secondly, you can't just define a new CFrame and expect something to happen, since the game doesn't know what part's CFrame is supposed to be changed (in the example above, the part1 CFrame is altered)

is roblox case sensitive? luiskawaiineko -18 — 5y

When defining specific locations of parts and properties, yes, you need to be exact in your wording, or else it will not work correctly (potentially returning "nil") SerpentineKing 3885 — 5y

ROBLOX Lua is very case sensitive, if you make a mistake with capitalization then it will error no matter what. 3ora 54 — 5y
