CFrame Tween not animating

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello :wave:,
I’m trying to make a tween work with a look vector, however, instead of tweening to the desired position, it just teleport. Any help is appreciated.

My code:

-- Doors

local left = script.Parent.Parent.Left

local right = script.Parent.Parent.Right

-- Services

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

-- Config

local Config = require(script.Parent.Parent.Configuration)

-- Tablet position.

local Tablets = script.Parent.Parent.Tablets

-- UI Buttons

local Lock = Tablets:GetDescendants("Locked")

local ForceOpen = Tablets:GetDescendants("Force Open")

local ForceClose = Tablets:GetDescendants("Force Close")

local FireMode = Tablets:GetDescendants("Fire Mode")

local Hold = Tablets:GetDescendants("Hold")

-- Player Detection

local PlayerDetection = script.Parent.Parent.PlayerDetection

local DetectPart = PlayerDetection:GetDescendants()

-- Tweens

local TweenLInfo = TweenInfo.new(

10, --Time

Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, -- Style of door open animation

Enum.EasingDirection.In, -- Direction of easing.

-1, -- Repeat count.

false, -- Will it reverse?

0 -- The delay time.

)

-- open look vectors

wait (10)

local LTween = TweenService:Create(left, TweenLInfo, {Value = left:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(left.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 14))})

LTween:Play()

Do this instead :

local LTween = TweenService:Create(left, TweenLInfo, {Position = left:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(left.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 14))})

Hmmmm, it still just teleports! I think it’s playing the CFrame before the tween.

#4

what about using CFrame instead of Position?

#5

Nope, still teleports. I tested if it was happening before or after :play() and it’s teleporting to the desired position before the tween plays.

#6

Found the problem
You are using a function inside of the tween
Try this instead

local LTween = TweenService:Create(left, TweenLInfo, {CFrame = CFrame.new(left.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 14))})

I got back the error
Workspace.AutomaticDoor.Configuration.Controller:43: Expected ‘}’ (to close ‘{’ at column 54), got ‘)’

Very strange :thinking:

#8

Oh sorry. I forgot to remove one of the parentheses

local LTween = TweenService:Create(left, TweenLInfo, {CFrame = CFrame.new(left.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 14)})

Try now.
Edit: Sorry didn’t copy all of the define.

#9

Hmmm,
It now gives me this error:
TweenService:Create no property named ‘CFrame’ for object ‘Left’

I’m still learning CFrame so combining with a tween has been a challenge so far.

#10

try this

local LTween = TweenService:Create(left.PrimaryPart, TweenLInfo, {CFrame = CFrame.new(left.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 14)})

Here are two other ones that might work

local LTween = TweenService:Create(left, TweenLInfo, {Position = CFrame.new(left.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 14)})

local LTween = TweenService:Create(left, TweenLInfo, {Value = CFrame.new(left.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 14)})

It now animates, however, it’s going in the wrong direction and it doesn’t drag the whole model just the part.

#14

are the parts welded to the primarypart? if not that may be the reason

#15

I tried welding them, however, it still just dragged the one part. Are there any good plugins for a weld? The plugin I used seems to break it but im not sure.

#16

Ok for the direction do

local LTween = TweenService:Create(left, TweenLInfo, {Position = CFrame.new(-left.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 14)})

Now for dragging the whole model you can:
Make a union
Do the tween for each and every part
Use attachments

#17

I use one called rigEdit Lite which works pretty well
Also useful for rigging other than just welding

#18

Well it’s moving diagonally no matter what i change the position to, even if i use rightvector etc so - would only make it move the opposite way diagonally. I need it to move left (in terms of the buildings angle) in which i’d reverse the lookvector however for some reason the lookvector is going diagonal.

#19

Okay, thank you i’ll try use that one!

#20

Ok. I believe look vectors are random. Is there n exact position you want it to go to?

Yes, however, I want to make it so if i rotate/move the model I won’t have to change the position.
