How do I stop this tween part from going backwards?

Before the tween of the beam plays.

What do you mean by this?

#22

After walking towards the player the beam animation will play but the beam will tween next to the enemy

local Size = Vector3.new(154.45, 2.192, 4.115)
	local Offset = RB.Torso.CFrame * Beam.CFrame.Rotation * CFrame.new(Size.X / 2, 0, 0) -- This should move the beam forward. If it goes backwards, set Size.X / 2 to negative.
	Beam.CFrame = local Offset = RB.Torso.CFrame * Beam.CFrame.Rotation
	TS:Create(Beam, TweenInfo.new(2), {Size = Size, CFrame = Offset}):Play()
	wait(0.77)
	TS:Create(Beam, TweenInfo.new(0.4), {Transparency = 1}):Play()
	wait(0.55)
    Beam.CanTouch = false
	Beam:Destroy()

Ah, I think I know.

CFrames need to be applied in some order to produce different results. This:

CFrame.new(0, 0, 4) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(45), 0, 0)
-- Move part before applying rotation.

Does not equate to:

CFrame.Angles(math.rad(45), 0, 0) * CFrame.new(0, 0, 4)
-- Rotate the part first, and take that into account when moving.

So, with that said, try this:

local Offset = RB.Torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, Size.X / 2) * Beam.CFrame.Rotation

Oh yeah, and I made a copy mistake with the setting of Beam.CFrame. Use this instead:

Beam.CFrame = RB.Torso.CFrame * Beam.CFrame.Rotation

Ok so when he stands still he’s fine but when he does his attack after chasing the player for a bit it has a freak out and doesn’t work

I’ve fixed it some old line of code was getting in the way anyway thanks again Y_VRN I owe you!
