How do I constrain a part's orientation to one axis?

  • What are you attempting to achieve?
    I want to constrain a part’s orientation so that they may only rotate on the X axis smoothly. (Like in the game People Playground, but with 3D objects.)
  • What is the issue?
    I cannot find a physics constraint that does this, and everything I have tried doesn’t go well.
  • What solutions have you tried so far?
    I have tried using BodyGyro and AlignOrientation, none of which have worked as I’ve wanted them to.

Now, I’ve done this before, but only with BodyGyro’s (which are now deprecated, boooo!), you can try use the AlignOrientation but it’s more stinky and harder to use.

BodyGyros are very spazzy, but I’ll try using them again.

It turns out that multiple BodyGyros will not work on a single part. This is unfortunate, because I need multiple for different purposes.
1 for the ragdoll to get up, and the other for the ragdoll to be locked onto an axis.
I’m going to try using a script for this.

Use CylindricalConstraint.

This allows position as well so you should restrict that with limits if you don’t want the position aspect.
