3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I looked around on the dev forum and asked some discord servers.
My code is in a localscript in startcharacterscripts. Here is my code:
while wait(1.3) do
local num = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('leaderstats',math.huge):WaitForChild('Stage')
if num then
game.TweenService:Create(game.Workspace.Pointer,TweenInfo.new(math.random(7,13)/10), {CFrame =( workspace.Checkpoints:FindFirstChild("Checkpoint "..num.Value+1) or workspace.Checkpoints["Checkpoint "..num.Value]).CFrame*CFrame.new(2,math.random(3,5),0)}):Play()
end end
local value = true
while task.wait(1) do
if value then
print("Value is true continuing the loop")
else if not value then
print("Value is false breaking the loop")
break; -- breaks the loop
end
end
task.wait(10)
value = false
Try adding 90 degrees to your CFrame angles value. I bet your Arrow Orientation is 90 degrees to where you expect it to be.
In Studio select the Arrow and look at it’s Orientation. If your CFrame values are 90 degrees out it’ll move to that new Orientation.
The behavior you’re seeing is likely due to the TweenService creating a smooth transition between two CFrame positions. The arrow turns because the transition interpolates the rotation as well. To prevent the arrow from turning during the transition, you can explicitly set the rotation of the new CFrame to match the arrow’s current rotation. Here’s how you can modify your code to achieve this:
luaCopy code
while wait(1.3) do
local num = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('leaderstats', math.huge):WaitForChild('Stage')
if num then
local targetCheckpoint = workspace.Checkpoints:FindFirstChild("Checkpoint " .. num.Value + 1) or workspace.Checkpoints["Checkpoint " .. num.Value]
if targetCheckpoint then
local arrow = game.Workspace.Pointer
local currentRotation = arrow.CFrame - arrow.Position -- Extract the rotation from the arrow's CFrame
local targetCFrame = targetCheckpoint.CFrame * CFrame.new(2, math.random(3, 5), 0)
local newCFrame = CFrame.new(targetCFrame.Position) * currentRotation -- Apply the same rotation to the new position
game.TweenService:Create(arrow, TweenInfo.new(math.random(7, 13) / 10), { CFrame = newCFrame }):Play()
end
end
end
This code calculates the arrow’s current rotation by subtracting its position from its CFrame. Then, it applies the same rotation to the new position to keep the arrow from turning during the transition.
This works, thank you! I do have a question, why does it go to the right of the checkpoint? It doesn’t rotate but it does shift over to the right side of the checkpoint.
Sorry for the very late response haven’t checked forums in a little bit
