How can I make a conveyor's speed affect the speed of it's texture?

#1

I need to make the conveyors in my game have a beam, but i also need the beam to be the same speed as the conveyor itself. I have a speed value inside the conveyor. Ive searched youtube and on here a little bit but couldn’t find anything.

#2

You can just change the beam’s texture speed, based off of your conveyor’s actual speed.

#3

I know that, but Id rather not have to individually change every single conveyor

#4

That’s not what I mean. If you have a script handling the conveyor’s velocity, preferably in collection service, you can set the conveyor’s tag automatically based off the speed. I don’t believe I said to set them all manually, I meant based off the speed of said conveyor.

#5

Can you provide how you currently have your conveyors and texture set-up as well as the code you have currently handling the conveyor/texture speed?

Using CollectionService you can do something like this:

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local tag = "Conveyor"

local function tagBehavior(conveyor)
	local speed = conveyor.YOUR.SPEED.VAR.HERE
	local beam = conveyor.YOUR.BEAM.HERE
	beam.TextureSpeed = speed
end

-- Activate behavior for instances added after code execution
CollectionService:GetInstanceAddedSignal(tag):Connect(tagBehavior)

-- Activate behavior for instances added before code execution
for _, obj in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged(tag)) do
	tagBehavior(obj)
end
