why do I have this error "Workspace.MovingPart.Script:9: attempt to call a table value"?
Part = script.Parent
go = true
while go do
repeat
wait(0.5)
Part.Position = Part.Position + Vector3.new(0.1,0,0)
until Part.Position == Vector3(-54,7,-60) -- the error is on this line I think since this is line 9
end
In Lua, Objects are simply metadata, advanced forms of arrays built with metamethods (functions) to modify itself. Vector3 is one of these Instances.
For an easier understanding, let’s take a look at what the Vector3 constructor looks like:
local Vector3 = {} --// Raw Table
Vector3.__index = Vector3
Vector3.new = (function(x,y,z)
local self = setmetatable({},Vector3)
self.X = tonumber(x) or 0
self.Y = tonumber(y) or 0
self.Z = tonumber(z) or 0
return self
end)
return Vector3
This is a highly complicated branch of tables known as Object Orientated Programming, so I won’t necessarily go into explaining how all of the code above works. But do notice one thing, Vector3 is assigned as an array. If we don’t call the .new() constructor to build our Vector data, we simply just end up passing a table.
The reason is because you put vector3 which supposed to be vector3.new
Part = script.Parent
go = true
while go do
repeat
wait(0.5)
Part.Position = Part.Position + Vector3.new(0.1,0,0)
until Part.Position == Vector3.new(-54,7,-60) -- the error is on this line I think since this is line 9
end
thanks this sorta helps me understand what i did wrong
Why didnt you accept me.
Because he asked why it’s saying “got table”. Not how to fix it

Vector3 is assigned as a dictionary not an array
“Advanced form of an array”.
ok so I think im understanding it so i need to use .new() in order to make a new Vector3 and by itself it is a array or something like that.
