Help with CFrame.Angles()

#1

So basically, I want a part’s orientation switch to 90 degrees using CFrames, so I did this.

{Handle.CFrame = Handle.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90),0)}

But what if I wanna go back to it’s original orientation? I tried this:

{Handle.CFrame = Handle.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,0,0)}

But the part isn’t turning.

#2

Why not CFrame.Angles(0, -90, 0)?

#3

That just teleported the part to the origin of the world.

#4

I’ve made sure it’s CFrame.Angles() and NOT CFrame.new().

#5

I believe @Pokemoncraft5290 meant

Handle.CFrame = Handle.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,-math.rad(90),0)

Edit: but also, if you want it to go back to its original orientation… why not just save its original orientation in a variable before you change it? Then the problem is easy.

Good question, my model needs CFrame in order to move other connected parts. Also this worked, except I have to add math.rad(-90) because it needs radians in order to orient it correctly. Thanks! @Pokemoncraft5290

Right, I’m saying:

local original = Handle.CFrame

-- change it
Handle.CFrame = Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, math.rad(90), 0)

-- reset it
Handle.CFrame = original

Yeah, but I prefer something dependant on roration, not regardless of it’s rotation/Cframe.
