How do I convert from BodyGyro/BodyPosition to AlignOrientation/AlignPosition?

[drkica1234 (Bagel)]

Hello, I’m trying to create a part drag system using tags and I’ve stumbled up on someone’s old part drag model and he is using BodyGyro and BodyPosition to have smooth dragging movement.

This is what I’m trying to accomplish:

(this is from B Ricey’s video)

I have found out that you require attachments for the align stuff, so I have created 2 parts that hold the attachments. I have no idea if this is the right way to do it.

Note: I am using Trove maid module thingy that basically stores instances or connections so I can remove them easier.

My script:

local UIP = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

local Trove = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Trove).new()

local dragging = false
local Target:Part
local distanceFromCamera = 1
local reachDistance = 10

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Character = plr.Character
local Torso:MeshPart = Character:WaitForChild("Torso")
local Head:MeshPart = Character:WaitForChild("Head")
local Mouse = plr:GetMouse()

UIP.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,inText)
	if inText then return end
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not dragging then
		if table.find(CollectionService:GetTags(Mouse.Target),"Draggable") then
			if (Mouse.Target.Position-Torso.Position).Magnitude <= reachDistance then
				dragging = true
				local Target = Mouse.Target
				Target.Anchored = false
				Mouse.TargetFilter = Target
				local Grab:Part = Trove:Add(Instance.new("Part"))
				Grab.Parent = workspace
				Grab.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
				Grab.CanCollide = false
				Grab.CFrame = Mouse.Hit
				Grab.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
				Grab.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
				Grab.Size = Vector3.new(.5,.5,.5)
				Grab.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
				Grab.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
				Grab.Name = "Grab"
				local TempPart:Part = Trove:Add(Instance.new("Part"))
				TempPart.Parent = workspace
				TempPart.Transparency = 1
				TempPart.CanCollide = false
				TempPart.CFrame = Mouse.Hit
				TempPart.Name = "TempPart"
				local Gyro:Part = Trove:Add(Instance.new("Part"))
				Gyro.Parent = workspace
				Gyro.Size = Grab.Size
				Gyro.CanCollide = false
				Gyro.Anchored = true
				Gyro.Transparency = 1
				Gyro.Name = "Gyro"
				local BPos:Part = Trove:Add(Instance.new("Part"))
				BPos.Parent = workspace
				BPos.Size = Grab.Size
				BPos.CanCollide = false
				BPos.Anchored = true
				BPos.Transparency = 1
				BPos.Name = "BPos"
				local A0:Attachment = Trove:Add(Instance.new("Attachment"))
				A0.Parent = Target
				local A1:Attachment = Trove:Add(Instance.new("Attachment"))
				A1.Parent = Gyro
				local A2:Attachment = Trove:Add(Instance.new("Attachment"))
				A2.Parent = Grab
				local A3:Attachment = Trove:Add(Instance.new("Attachment"))
				A3.Parent = TempPart
				local Weld:Weld = Trove:Add(Instance.new("Weld"))
				Weld.Parent = Grab
				Weld.Part0 = Grab
				Weld.Part1 = Target
				local Sparkles = Trove:Clone(game.ReplicatedStorage.Effects.Sparkles)
				Sparkles.Parent = Grab
				local Rod:RodConstraint = Trove:Add(Instance.new("RodConstraint"))
				Rod.Parent = Grab
				Rod.Color = Grab.BrickColor
				Rod.Thickness = 1
				Rod.Attachment0 = A2
				Rod.Attachment1 = A3
				Rod.Name = "Rod"
				local PosAlign:AlignPosition = Trove:Add(Instance.new("AlignPosition"))
				PosAlign.Parent = Target
				PosAlign.Attachment0 = A0
				PosAlign.Attachment1 = A1
				local OrientAlight:AlignOrientation = Trove:Add(Instance.new("AlignOrientation"))
				OrientAlight.Parent = Target
				OrientAlight.Attachment0 = A0
				OrientAlight.Attachment1 = A1
				Trove:Connect(RunService.Heartbeat,function()
					local X,Y,Z = Mouse.Hit.X,Mouse.Hit.Y,Mouse.Hit.Z
					local CF1 = CFrame.new(Head.CFrame.Position,Vector3.new(X,Y,Z))
					local CF2 = CF1 * CFrame.new(0, 0, -4)
					BPos.Position = Vector3.new(CF2.X, CF2.Y, CF2.Z)
					Gyro.CFrame = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
				end)
			end
		end
	end
end)

UIP.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input,inText)
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if inText then return end
		dragging = false
		Trove:Clean()
		Mouse.TargetFilter = nil
	end
end)

Also most of those instances are there because I’m trying to make the cool line that connects the part and your cursor, shown in the video.

Thanks in advance!

why did roblox even deprecate bodygyro and bodyposition?
