When should you use vector3 instead of CFrame ?

Asked by 5 years ago

I don't understand how they're different I heard that vector3 u can't place when there's already a part at the position but I tried it and I did become able to place a part inside a part in. a position. So when is it advised to use Vector3 over CFRAme and Cframe over vector3

Well Stack edit isnt working rn btw

Vector3 is just positioning along X,Y,Z Axis

CFrame is capable of positioning in a similar way to Vector3 but with rotation

When u want to position something relative to the workspace use vector3

when you want to position something relative to an objects position Use CFrame

^ for ex like if i wanted an object above my head I'd do

part.CFrame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,3,0)

I hope they removed Stackedit. I don't like it. Sonnenroboter 336 — 5y

I would Always use CFrame because it's with rotation. That means that CFrame is basicly the better Vector3.
