Working on rotating hammer

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’ve been working on making a hammer that rotates using CFrame but I don’t know how to change the pivot of my rotation. I’ve tried looking at some videos but I couldn’t find any. The script does work but it’s not rotating in the pivot I want it to.

local Hammer = game.Workspace.Hammers:GetChildren()

while true do
	task.wait(0.1)
	for i,v in pairs(Hammer) do
		local HammerCFrame = v:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
		v:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(HammerCFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(10)))
	end
end

How do you want them to rotate?
You can change the pivot by changing which axis is math.rad(10)

v:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(HammerCFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(10),0))

This will rotate the hammers on the Y axis.

I’m not trying to change the rotation, I’m trying to change the pivot so that it rotates differently.

#4

What do you mean by differently?

#5

You know how in builder f3x you can change your rotation to center, local, or last? Pivot is changing the point of rotation.

#6

Just use :SetPivot.

Code:

local Hammer = game.Workspace.Hammers:GetChildren()

while true do
	task.wait(0.1)
	for i,v in Hammer do
		local HammerCFrame = v:GetPivot()
		v:PivotTo(HammerCFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(10)))
	end
end

I’m also really confused about what you mean by “rotates differently”.

The output says SetPivot is not a valid member of Model “Workspace.Hammers.Hammer”

#8

Oh, had to use PivotTo instead.

#9

Where are you trying to set the pivot to?

#10

To where you got the pivot, at v:GetPivot().

#11

Sorry, I meant the pivot point. How do you want it to spin?

well I already fixed it but if you wanna choose to how you wanna spin it you have to edit the pivot in the model tab on your part.

#13

Sorry, I meant to write PivotTo.

If your problem is solved, mark your reply or my reply as the solution.
