Help with CFrame.Angles

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

my problems is with a BodyGyro when I set its CFrame like this BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(40),math.rad(40),0) it some how changes the z axis when the z axis needs to be 0 and I’m not changing the z axis/rotation from 0 what I’ve tried is setting the x and y axis/rotation separately and it works fine but when I set them together it changes the z axis/rotation to

#2

Try setting the .MaxTorque property to Vector3.new(100, 100, 0) to prevent it from moving the Z axis.

#3

Take into account that each other axis’s directions change with each rotation
here’s an example of what I mean:

As you can see, the y axis rotation arrow changes from rotation to the sides to almost upward/downward rotation.

so, you will have to calculate how to rotate them correctly in order to get them to do the rotation you want.

(dont know if i understood the problem correctly or not)

#4

yes I know x,y,z change direction relative to rotation the thing what mine is doing is changing the x to 14 somehow
when i never change the x axis it makes one of the parts sides tip down. the only thing I want my part to do is change the y axis to turn the part left and right and the x axis to change the part to face up or down but I don’t want the part to tilt to left or right which is what the z axis does

#5

this wont work bc the part will spin

#6

the only thing I want my part to do is change the y axis to turn the part left and right and the x axis to change the part to face up or down but I don’t want the part to tilt to left or right which is what the z axis does

I would suggest using TweenService instead of a BodyGyro if that’s the case, it might clear up some things, cause you can just copy-paste the wanted orientation.

#7

Does Vector3.new(100, 100, math.huge) work? That should make it exert an infinite amount of force on the Z axis and effectively anchor the Z axis in place.

#8

that would work if the script didn’t change the bodygyros cframe on z axis for no reason

#9

The solution to my problem was to use CFrame.fromOrientation.
