Making a Plane that moves automaticaly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I was playing a game early, which involved taking a plane ride. It moved by its own (it had a scripted movement and follow a certain path, I assume checkpoints)

How would you go about using this? I though of TweenService but when the plane turns in needs to rotate a bit, this can be done with TweenService but it’s just a tedious process. Does anyone have ideas?

Use AlignPosition and AlignOrientation, with checkpoints, yes.

So I made this script:

local current = 0


local function change()
	current += 1
	script.Parent.AlignPosition.Attachment1 = game.Workspace.Checkpoints:FindFirstChild(current):FindFirstChild("Attachment")
	script.Parent.AlignOrientation.Attachment1 = game.Workspace.Checkpoints:FindFirstChild(current):FindFirstChild("Attachment")
end

local function checkIfNear()
	if (script.Parent.Position-game.Workspace.Checkpoints:WaitForChild(tostring(current)).Position).Magnitude < 5 then 
		print("location")
		change()
	end
end

change()

while task.wait() do 
	checkIfNear()
end

But it doesn’t turn out smooth, you can see it stop at every checkpoint:

How would I make it move at a consistent pace moving through the checkpoints without stopping.

I’m not sure about that. I suggest playing with the propertues at runtime to see which one affect responsiveness.
