AssemblyLinearVelocity won't change via script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve been trying to script a working conveyor, but the AssemblyLinearVelocity won’t change using script. I tried the property manually, but just removes my custom setting and resets to 0,0,0. I need it anchored too. my code is working fine, but the conveyor just auto sets the AssemblyLinearVelocity to 0,0,0. Here’s my code (Its from B Ricey’s tycoon tutorials on youtube) it’s also a module script as well.

Conveyor.__index = Conveyor

function Conveyor.new(tycoon, instance)
	local self = setmetatable({}, Conveyor)
	self.Instance = instance
	self.Speed = instance:GetAttribute("Speed")
	
	return self
end

function Conveyor:Init()
	local belt = self.Instance.Belt
	belt.AssemblyLinearVelocity = belt.CFrame.LookVector * self.Speed
end

return Conveyor

Nope. Everything works, but for some reason i can’t change the velocity.

#4

is the result of belt.CFrame.LookVector * self.Speed a vector3 value? maybe the game doesnt recognise it and therefore doesnt assign it

It is. let me send a video of my problem

here it is. If it helps any, the item is in server storage.

I’m getting an error when I try to play the video, can you upload it to somewhere like gyazo?

#8

alright, its because your browser is unsupported. I had to use chrome to play it. I’ll just upload it to youtube

so basically i kinda figured it out. My script is changing the velocity in the conveyor before it reaches workspace. Because its trying to change it in server storage, it resets to 0,0,0
