Detecting when a part has made a full rotation on it's axis

I’m having some difficulty predicting when a part has completely rotated on one of it’s axis.
It can be tricky because I need something that is dynamic, and can be suitable for any speed at which the part is rotating. Right now I get the percentage that the part has rotated to 360 degrees, and then see if it’s above or equal to 100, and if it is, it’ll count it as a complete rotation. However, there is a problem with this, say the rotation speed is so quick that the percentage makes a jump between 99% and 1%, then it’ll never consider a full rotation on it’s axis. (this gap could be even bigger depending on how quick it’s rotating).

I can see how what I just explained may be a bit confusing but I’ll do my best to answer any questions. I’ll show code if necessary.

Bumping post up. Don’t mind me.

Any help? Just want to make sure my post doesn’t get drowned.

Well after some tinkering with my original code, I fixed my problem. For anyone who comes across this post and is wondering the same, here is a breakdown of the code with comments:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

-- Initial rotation speed and time multiplier
local baseRotationSpeed = 90
local timeMultiplier = 1
local part = script.Parent

local totalRotation = 0

local function update(deltaTime)
	local adjustedRotationSpeed = baseRotationSpeed * timeMultiplier
	local deltaRotation = baseRotationSpeed * deltaTime
	part.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0, totalRotation + deltaRotation, 0) -- Rotating around the Y-axis

	totalRotation = totalRotation + math.abs(deltaRotation)

	-- Check if the part has completed a full rotation (360 degrees)
	if totalRotation >= 2 * math.pi then -- Use 2 * math.pi for a full rotation in radians
		print("Part completed a full rotation!")
		totalRotation = 0
	end
end

-- Connect the update function to the Heartbeat event
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(update)
