How do i orient tool.grip?

ew_iscool · January 14, 2024, 2:48am

ive been trying to figure out how to add this 1 detail to this lunging script for the last 2 hours and my brain is tired and i dont know how to do this

ive read 4 devforum posts, and the entire tool document, and i got nada!!

script:

function Lunge()
	Damage = DamageValues.LungeDamage
	
	print(Tool.Grip.RightVector)
	Tool.Grip = CFrame.new(script.Parent["Right Arm"] - 0) --how to orient the X of the grip by 90 degrees pls help
	print(Tool.Grip.RightVector)
	Tool.Handle.SwordLunge:Play()

	if Humanoid then
		if Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 then
			local Anim = Instance.new("StringValue")
			Anim.Name = "toolanim"
			Anim.Value = "Lunge"
			Anim.Parent = Tool
		elseif Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 then
			local Anim = Tool:FindFirstChild("R15Lunge")
			if Anim then
				local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
				Track:Play(0)
			end
		end
		Tool.Grip:ToOrientation(Tool.Grip + UDim2.new(0,0,0, -90, 0, 0))
		--Tool.Handle.CFrame.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 90, 90) --:ToOrientation(0, 90, 90)
	end	
end

I’m not sure what you’re trying to do exactly, but there is a tool grip editor plugin out there for this, I think it cost like 5 robux, or something.

If you don’t have robux, or you’re trying to modify the tool grip by a certain angle, just use CFrame.Angles(), multiply that by the current tool grip, and the grip will change by the values provided (radians).

If I wanted to rotate the X of the grip by 90 degrees, I would say:

tool.Grip *= CFrame.Angles(math.rad / 2, 0, 0)

This is because math.pi is 180 degrees in radians, so you would divide by 2.

when i tried this, i just got this error message
Workspace.Enemies.Guest.AI:40: attempt to perform arithmetic (div) on function and number

is this because math.rad needs an argument?

Den_vers · January 14, 2024, 3:09am

Oops, I meant math.pi in the code fragment. Apologies.

RoninQV · January 14, 2024, 3:21am

If the lunge is in the correct position, you don’t need to edit the orient. Just set the animation priority to Action.

ew_iscool · January 14, 2024, 4:01am

sorry for the late response, got distracted by other things

the tool’s grip still dont change!!

Den_vers · January 14, 2024, 4:04am

Send me your script, the tool grip should change with that code. It must be something else.

I meant you should replace it,

Tool.Grip *= CFrame.Angles(math.pi / 2, 0, 0)

Do this instead.

ew_iscool · January 14, 2024, 4:22am

still doesnt work. i changed the orientation of the sword using the server manually and it changed, also i just now realized i have to switch the grip of the sword to 0,-180,90 to get the effect im trying to get. even after adjusting the script for it it still doesnt orient

Den_vers · January 14, 2024, 4:22am

Add some print statements, make sure the function is being called. Add prints statements everywhere where the script runs.

ew_iscool · January 14, 2024, 4:28am

added prints, everything happens when it should happen, except the happening part

changed the lunge function a little bit

output of the prints

figured it out, turns out to change the grip the cframe has to have like 100 arguments detailing
exactly what it looks like

Grips = {
Up = CFrame.new(0, 0, -1.70000005, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0),
Out = CFrame.new(0, 0, -1.70000005, 0, 1, 0, 1, -0, 0, 0, 0, -1)
}

You’re using the default swords? I didn’t even know, if you would have told me I could have helped. The reason why is because the sword script changes the grip at run time, so you have to edit the grips in the script, you don’t have to do this.
