An anchored part that can be rotated in any direction by force, how?

So I want a Part that is anchored in air, but I can add rotVelocity in any direction. I can’t just use “Anchored” property, then nothing happens. And existing constraints seems to limit the directions?

Do you want the part to carry a player on it?

#3

Yes kind of. Actually its box where player is inside.

#4

Well you can’t Anchor it then if the part is anchored the player will have no interaction with it

#5

There is a very easy way you could just insert a “BodyGyro” inside of the part and change the BodyGyro’s properties however you want your part to turn “actually to do this you need to use CFrame”

#6

Of course I want my par to turn. That the whole point of the topic. And turn with forces, not with manipulating Cframe, because if I do that player will not move with the part.

#7

No with the bodygyro the player will turn because that the part that is turning is not anchored the (CFrame)
Is just to make the body gyro work

#8

Search for BodyGyro in the DevHub

But you are telling me how rotate the Part, what is I already know. I use rotVelocity in my scripts. The problem is that the Part needs to have a fixated positions (hanging somewhere in air) that won’t change. I can’t use “Anchored” property, because that breaks physics.

#10

Yes and if you use a BodyGyro the part will stay in the air (remember not Anchored)

#11

I just used BodyGyro on my part and it did fall and move as usual.

#12

But wait with the body gyro insert a body position
The BodyGyro is for the part to turn
And the BodyPosition is for the part to stay in the air

#13

I believe WeldConstraint would be an optimal option for this

WeldConstraint is a Hard constraint between parts. It doesn’t really help here.

#15

Listen insert a body position and let it in the part
Then insert a BodyGyro with a script that will activate the BodyGyro with CFrame

#16

I don’t think so. For Position I need constraint and not a force.

#17

Wait you want a rotating part that is in the air and can carry a player right?

#18

I am opening roblox studio to try finding a way to turn a part in the air

#19

Yes, but

  1. BodyPosition is a Force. I don’t think forces should be used where a constraint is needed.
  2. It doesn’t work anyway. I just added it to a Part and if fell down to ground as usual.

Oh I know why it didn’t work fo you
