So I’m making a very simple building system and I have a problem. I made the standard R to rotate system, however, when the block is 270 degrees it just starts spinning rapidly. It stops spinning when I rotate it back to 0 degrees.
Here is an example of the problem:
I tried looking this up and found someone with a similar problem, but with a solution that won’t work for me. If it helps, the system shows 2 blocks, a fake block that has all the tweening to make it look nice, and an invisible block that is where the blocks are being placed so the tweening doesn’t offset placement.
Local Script:
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.BuildUi
local building = false
local canPlace = true
local rotation = 90
local blocks = game.ReplicatedStorage.Blocks
local currentTemplate:BasePart = nil
local selectedBlock = blocks:WaitForChild("Plank")
local reset = false
game.UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)
if not processed then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
building = not building
gui.Enabled = building
end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
if currentTemplate then
rotation += 90
if rotation == 360 then
rotation = 0
end
print(rotation)
end
end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
if building and canPlace then
if not selectedBlock:IsA("Model") then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Place:FireServer(currentTemplate.Position, selectedBlock, rotation)
else
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Place:FireServer(currentTemplate.PrimaryPart.Position, selectedBlock)
end
end
end
end
end)
function round(n, to)
return math.floor(n/to + 0.5) * to
end
for i, block:BasePart in blocks:GetChildren() do
local newButton = gui.Container.Blocks.Scroll.Template:Clone()
newButton.Title.Text = block.Name
newButton.Visible = true
newButton.Parent = gui.Container.Blocks.Scroll
local function viewport()
if not block:IsA("Model") then

local newCam = Instance.new("Camera", newButton.ViewportFrame)
newButton.ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = newCam
newCam.CFrame = workspace:WaitForChild("Viewport"):WaitForChild("CamCFrame").CFrame
viewBlock.CFrame = workspace:WaitForChild("Viewport"):WaitForChild("Pos").CFrame
while task.wait() do
viewBlock.Orientation += Vector3.new(0, 0.25, 0)
end

viewBlock:PivotTo(workspace:WaitForChild("Viewport"):WaitForChild("Pos").CFrame)
while task.wait() do
viewBlock:PivotTo(viewBlock:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(0.25), 0))

I don’t believe I need to add the server script as it doesn’t relate to the problem.
