Bounce and spin a part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi,

I am trying to make a part bounce and spin and so far have the code below, the bounce is working fine but the rotate keeps glitching and not rotating smothly, do anyone know what I am getting wrong? the part is in the workspace which I am running to code on and has a mesh attached.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local part = script.Parent

-- Bounce variables
local bounceHeight = 2
local bounceDuration = 1
local originalY = part.Position.Y
local bounceUpInfo = TweenInfo.new(bounceDuration / 2, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local bounceDownInfo = TweenInfo.new(bounceDuration / 2, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.In)

-- Spin variables
local spinSpeed = 5 -- Degrees per frame/small increment
local spinInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out) -- Very short duration for smooth continuous spin

local function bounce()
	while true do
		local bounceUpGoal = {Position = Vector3.new(part.Position.X, originalY + bounceHeight, part.Position.Z)}
		local bounceDownGoal = {Position = Vector3.new(part.Position.X, originalY, part.Position.Z)}

		local tweenUp = TweenService:Create(part, bounceUpInfo, bounceUpGoal)
		local tweenDown = TweenService:Create(part, bounceDownInfo, bounceDownGoal)

		tweenUp:Play()
		tweenUp.Completed:Wait()

		tweenDown:Play()
		tweenDown.Completed:Wait()
	end
end

local function spin()
	local currentRotation = part.Orientation.Y
	while true do
		currentRotation = (currentRotation + spinSpeed) % 360
		local spinGoal = {Orientation = Vector3.new(part.Orientation.X, currentRotation, part.Orientation.Z)}
		local tweenSpin = TweenService:Create(part, spinInfo, spinGoal)
		tweenSpin:Play()
		task.wait(0.01) -- Adjust this for desired spin smoothness/speed
	end
end

-- Start both animations concurrently
task.spawn(bounce)
task.spawn(spin)

i think you can set a repeat count for the tween
the issue looks like the tweens are overlapping because of the loop so i think you can just set the repeat count to math.huge which should make it smoother.

for example:

local spinInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, math.huge) -- math.huge makes it loop

local spinGoal = {Orientation = Vector3.new(part.Orientation.X, part.Orientation.Y + 360, part.Orientation.Z)}
local tweenSpin = TweenService:Create(part, spinInfo, spinGoal)
tweenSpin:Play()
