local split = v.Position.Value:split(", ")
local numbervalue = Vector3.new(tonumber(split[1]),tonumber(split[2]),tonumber(split[3]))
local distance = tostring(bases.Position - numbervalue)

first line holds a part's position inside a string value, that way i can save the value (ive tried with saving vector3 but wont work) numbervalue is the vector3 value of split distance is the actual base position - the number value (1 vector3 - another vector3) do anyone know why this wont save so that next time when i load it in to the part, the part goes in the right place? this is my script where i place the part

local position = base_values.Position.Value:split(", ")--this the distance stored as a string value
local x = tonumber(position[1])--these 3 is of course me making the 3 numbers into tonumbers
local y = tonumber(position[2])
local z = tonumber(position[3])
part.Position = v.Position + Vector3.new(x,y,z)--and here i set the part's position to the base position + those 3 numbers

someone please help me make this work this is how it turns out https://imgur.com/a/sB9LQ0z

#I think you might want to do this:

-- this part is the same
local split = v.Position.Value:split(", ")
local numbervalue = Vector3.new(tonumber(split[1]),tonumber(split[2]),tonumber(split[3]))
local distance = tostring(bases.Position - numbervalue)

Problem

when you go to change the part, you are taking the current position so say (1, 2 , 3) and you add (1 , 2 ,3) to it, now you have (2,4,6) instead of (1 , 2 ,3).

Solution

instead of adding the new value, just change it to the new value. So here is what i changed

part.Position =  Vector3.new(x,y,z) -- make it equal to the new vector3
