Brick texture wrong way round - for a script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I’m making a house building game, and I have created wall and floor placement systems, and on the walls and floors, you can customize their materials, but when I make one of the sides of the walls a brick material, but the brick material is side ways, not horizontal. I want to make the brick material horizontal.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

The material is the wrong way round, here is what it looks like.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I’ve looked for solutions on the developer forum, but they are all building-related. I want to make the brick texture sideways in a script.

Help?

This is so simple.

In your script, you can use Rotation if you want to rotate.

script.Parent.Rotation = Vector3.new(0, 90, 0)

But you can also use CFrame.Angles.

script.Parent.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), 0, 0)

As far as I know you can’t change the direction of material but you can rotate the brick. So the material will be rotated with the brick as well.

Stravant’s Material Flip might interest you.

I also have a floor building system where I want the floor material to be the same direction; the floor is made of triangles, so its hard to just rotate the triangles and it rotates the material texture.

I probably got the idea for what you want to achieve.

This is what you are trying currently;

This is how you want it to work as;

In the video I uploaded above, I just rotated it but didn’t work. Let’s talk about how I made them both vertical -as you can see in the screenshot above.

There are 3 possibilities that you can rotate the part for the axis you want. They are

  1. X
  2. Y
  3. Z

I used the Z-axis. But you can use the other ones if you want.

So firstly I rotated the part for 180° degree from the Z-axis.

Then, I just rewrote the size units. I didn’t change the X unit because it is not needed.

As you can see, both materials on the parts are now vertical.
