How do I go about scripting this "build effect"

[FractalVortex]

I’ve seen games with build systems that when you place an object, the object constructs itself in front of you. This usually means all the pieces of the build appear out of thin air and move into their respective positions. I’m not entirely sure how to replicate this effect in Roblox Studio though…

Parts appear out of thin air like this:

They then move into their proper position and end up like this:

Keep in mind this is done in a smooth transition, almost like a tween or lerp. I need to be able to do this on a large scale. Ideas?

You can do this by looping through the model’s parts and saving their “final position”; where they will be at the end of the animation - then offsetting their position several studs and tweening them into the final position.

Tycoon animations?

Here’s some old code that I modified to work for this situation. If there’s something you don’t understand let me know and I’ll try to explain. It’s easier than explaining how to do everything local TweenS = game:GetService("TweenService") local r = Random.new() local BUILDING_ANIMATION_POSITION_OFFSET_AMOUNT = 2 local BUILDING_ANIMATION_PART_DELAY = 0.03 function hasProperty(instance, property) assert(typeof(instance) == "Instance") assert(typeof(property) == "string") …

you can remove the size change if you want to, really nice module.
