How to increase size in one direction?

Hello. Normally to increase the size in one direction via tweenservice, id increase the size to x and the position to x/2. However, i am currently making a energy wave effect, and its quite tricky due to the part needing to be facing the same direction has the hrp. Ive tried alot of things but none were successful. Any tips?

Here is the code and a video of what the script currently does.
code:

local charge = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("KameCharge")
local wave = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("KameWave")
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")


--tween

local info = TweenInfo.new(
	3,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic,
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
	0,
	false,
	0.1
)



local GoalTransparency = {
	Transparency = 1
}





game.ReplicatedStorage.Kamehameha.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, MousePos)
	local character = player.Character
	local humanoid = character.HumanoidRootPart
	local rarm = character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
	
	local newcharge = charge:Clone()
	newcharge.Parent = rarm 
	newcharge.Position = rarm.Position - Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
	
	
	local Weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	Weld.Parent = newcharge
	Weld.Part0 = rarm
	Weld.Part1 = newcharge
	
	wait(1)
	
	newcharge:Destroy()
	
	local newwave = wave:Clone()
	newwave.Parent = workspace
	newwave.CFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(2,0,0)
	newwave.Orientation = character.Torso.Orientation
	local goal = {
		Size = Vector3.new(0, 0, 180),
		--Position = ?? 
	}
	
	local tween = ts:Create(newwave, info, goal)
	tween:play()

	
end)

Size Change in One Direction

Is there a way to change the size of a part in only one direction? For example, if I wanted a block to only increase by 1 stud in the positive Y-direction every 5 seconds, how would I do this? Right now my script is changing it in both the positive and negative Y-directions.

How do i make a part increase length in 1 direction

Using scripts i want the cylinder to tween increase size from the mouth of the blaster, i already used a tween size increase but it would increase both ways, moving the part ahead then using the tween wouldn’t make it seem like the lazer will increase from the blaster head, instead it would increase from far ahead both ways [image]

How do I change a part size with the origin not being at center?

Let’s say there’s a part sized 1,1,1 [image] if I change it to 1,1,2, it will result as following: (Notice the grids on the baseplate) [image] How do I change it size and position as following by using script? I want it to extend 1 stud on either left or right side but not extend 0.5 studs on both side. [image]

Resizing a part forward

So im trying to make a laser beam that progressively gets longer only forward. I haven’t found a good method to only make it extend in one direction. part:Resize() makes it stop when it hits something which I don’t want to happen and just adjusting the CFrame/Lerping the position and size makes it lag on the server and I want the beam to be serversided.

How do I tween in one direction?

Currently when my part tweens it scales in all directions, however, I just want it to scale on one axis. How do I fix this? My code: Open = true ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() if Open == true then local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService") local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0) local part = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Shutter local goal = {Size = Vector3.new(12.872, 0.511, 0.05)} -- New size. local …

I’d suggest trying all these and see which helps the most.
Although I believe the last would be the perfect one.
