BodyPosition is kinda wonky when a player steps on a part that has it

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey, I am making a moving platform using BodyPosition, it works fine, but when a player steps on it, it gets wonky, Here’s a screenshot:

Help is very appreciated! Thank you.

Edit the MaxForce of the BodyPosition.
To something like

BodyPosition.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1,1,1)*40000 -- is the same as: Vector3.new(40000,40000,40000)

This will make it so that you can’t push/move the Part around and the BodyPosition takes priority over the position.
How bigger the Vector, how less interverence other forces can give.

#3

wait how do you want it to move? like straight up, to the side. Cause i can make a script that will move it through blocks as well

#4

Oh, thank you for the reply, currently the MaxForce is set to math.huge, Is that why this is happening?

#5

I really do not suggest using math.huge with MaxForce.
I am unsure why it’s happening but it porbaly has something to do with that.

#6

I changed the MaxForce, but it’s still not fixed.

#7

Change the part’s property Massless.

#8

Okay, let me do that, thank you.

#9

Well the platform is probably acting wonky because it is rotating which is hard to tell by am image. To combat rotation you can use a BodyGyro instance or Align orientation to prevent the rotation

#10

Still not working. I need to do this quickly.

#11

Create a new instance called BodyGyro, change it’s MaxTorque to the same as the MaxForce of the BodyPosition;
Put in the following script:

local BG = script.Parent
BG.CFrame = BG.Parent.CFrame

You don’t have to define this, if the part is Orientation is 0,0,0

#12

I think I need to define the CFrame the 1st time I use it, so thank you. Going to try it

#13

I found out the default CFrame of the BodyGyro is to change the Orientation to 0,0,0

#14

It worked! The only problem that is happening now is that when a player steps on it, it goes down. Screenshot:

#15

I suggest anchoring the part and unanchoring it inside of the BodyGyro Script:

local BG = script.Parent
BG.CFrame = BG.Parent.CFrame

BG.Parent.Anchored = false
#16

Thanks so much for suggesting me BodyGyro, it’s working just fine as it should!

#17

Rather thank, @dthecoolest, it was his suggestion. Though can you close this topic now and if the BodyGyro still acts weird, just use AlignOrientation like dthecoolest said.

#18

Okay, thank you both of you. THANKs.
