Help with springs

Q_ubit · February 19, 2021, 2:29am

I recently saw this tutorial on harmonic motion by @FoxbyDev however I wasn’t able to understand it very well since the information given wasn’t changed to fit Roblox. If anybody knows how I could make a spring like the one in the video in the article, please let me know.

Thanks in advance to anybody who replies

You probably won’t find a tutorial of spring formula changed to fit roblox. It’s not that hard translate formulas into code if you learn what the variables are supposed to be.

I would suggest try to contact someone like @EgoMoose for help with springs, and you can learn more EgoMoose Springs video

Or you can use Quentys and contributors spring module which does the calculations for you .

Thank you very much Quenty and contributors

I was able to follow the video, but it looks like the spring is only rapidly putting target back in its original spot.
