How To Get The CFrame Between Two Parts (Like :Lerp)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I’m trying to tween a cframe to a certain spot in between two parts, but I don’t want to use :Lerp() because there is no option for easing style or time, so I’d rather use tween service.

The problem is, I’m trying to set the “CFrame” property of the tween to a spot in between the goal part and the part I am trying to tween, but I’m not sure how to do so.

do you mean like the midpoint?

Any point between 0 and 1.

no no i mean, do you want to get the midpoint of the 2 cframes?

#5

oh wait ik what you mean now

You could use lerp, get its halfway point, and then use it as your tween goal

#7

Does :Lerp() return the CFrame between the two points and the given number?

#8

Use the :Lerp(delta) function and use the return of the function as the tween goal

#9

For example, if alpha = .15, would it return the CFrame at that point in between the two parts?

#10

yes very true super true ofcourse

#11

Alright, I’m gonna go ahead and try this out.

#12

Yea, it does. The thing is you have to save the cframe so the parts Cframe doesn’t get affected

#13

So if I put it in to a seperate function and return part.CFrame:Lerp(goalCFrame, alpha) It’ll return the CFrame value?

#14

Yeah, it will. Don’t forget alpha is between 0 to 1 btw

Edit: You don’t need a function for this. You can do it like this:

local Alpha = 0.5

game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(
	Part1,
	TweenInfo.new(1), 
	{CFrame = Part1.CFrame:Lerp(Part2.CFrame, Alpha)}
)

Oh got it, will try this. Just finishing up some code before. I’ll let you know if all works well.
