How do I make a part move back and forth for a certain distance and speed?

I have a part that works as a camera for my start screen but I want it to move back an forth slowly to give some immersiveness.

You’d have to use tweenservice to achieve that. Try this out:

local Part = game.Workspace.Part -- Change this to your part
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService") 
local Pos = Vector3.new(0,5,0) -- Change this to the position you want part to move to

local Moving_Info = TweenInfo.new(
0.5, --the amount of seconds you want it to take
Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,
Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,
5, --The amount of time you want it to repeat
true, --Whether you want it to reverse back to the original position when it's done
0 -- how much time should delay between each repitition
)

TweenService:Create(Part, Moving_Info, {Position = Pos}):Play()

Is there a way to make it do that infinitely?

#4

Also, does the part have to be unanchored?

#5

Nope, doesn’t have to be anchored. And did you read the comments?

Just change that number to a really high number, like 999999999. You should probably do math.huge instead.

Thank you, it worked! Now I have random camera angles.

When repeatcount is less than zero tween will loop indefinitely.

More information below.

Hi, I have another question. This works but the view doesn’t change, it’s just static at wherever the part was when the gui comes up. Is there a way for the view to move with the brick?

In the camera script, you can make a while loop that constantly sets the camera’s CFrame to the parts CFrame, like this:

while true do
wait()
camera.CFrame = Part.CFrame
end

Should I change the part to the name of the part?

#11

Also, it doesn’t seem to work. Is this because my camera script is a localscript?

#12

Never mind, I got it to work. However, the camera cannot rotate after the player presses play.
