How to make part spin locally!

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

The script is not disabled and it could be part of the collection service

#22

Have you tried these methods yet?

#23

In that case, the plugin is likely to be faulty in some way. Try selecting all of the starCirclet parts, and then executing this command in the studio command bar:

local selected = game:GetService("Selection"):Get()
local CS = game:GetService("CollectionService")

for _, obj in ipairs(selected) do
    CS:AddTag(obj, "starCirclet")
end

Either the plugin is faulty, or thereā€™s a typo in the tag name you gave them.

#24

The plugin is not faulty I donā€™t think. Because I have another script that is using Collection Service but itā€™s a server script in server script service.

#25

Iā€™ve tried it and it did print the code in the output but no errors and still didnā€™t work.

#26

Iā€™m quite confused as to how it doesnā€™t work. I added a tag to a part in workspace, and I ran this script:

-- Services
local CS = game:GetService("CollectionService")

-- Functions
local function partAdded(part)
	print("found one!")
	print(part)
end

-- Loops
for _, part in ipairs(CS:GetTagged("BluePart")) do
	partAdded(part)
end

-- Event connections
CS:GetInstanceAddedSignal("BluePart"):Connect(partAdded)

And it printed what I expected.
Are you sure that the LocalScript is executing at all? Try putting a print after the makePartSpin function. Where is the LocalScript located? Mine was in StarterPlayerScripts.

#28

Did you mannually tag it? Like use a script to tag it? I put the script in StarterPlayerScripts and it didnā€™t print for some reason.

#29

Yeah, I ran this command (in the roblox studio command bar) while selecting the parts I wanted to tag:

-- Services
local CS = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local S = game:GetService("Selection")

-- Loops
for _, obj in ipairs(S:Get()) do
	CS:AddTag(obj, "BluePart")
end

Huh- when I tag it mannually, it did print. I think there is a problem with the tag editor plugin. But the problem is, it doesnā€™t spin after itā€™s taggedā€¦

#32

Weā€™re getting closer to the solution, which is good news

Try putting a print in the while true do loop. If nothing is printed, try replacing spawn with:

coroutine.wrap(function()

end)() -- You need to call wrapped coroutines
#33

Is this how you do it?

local CS = game:GetService("CollectionService")

local taggedParts = CS:GetTagged("starCirclet")

local function makePartSpin(part)
	print(part)
	coroutine.wrap(function()
		while true do
			part.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(0.3), 0)
			wait()
		end
	end)()
end

for _, part in pairs(taggedParts) do
	makePartSpin(part)
end

CS:GetInstanceAddedSignal("starCirclet"):Connect(makePartSpin)
#34

Yes, that looks good. ā €ā €ā €ā €ā €ā €ā €ā €

#35

Yes but I donā€™t think it spins, because it did print the object but it doesnā€™t spin

#36

Try putting a print inside of the while true do loop to check whether or not the loop runs.

while true do
	print("It's running!")

	part.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(0.3), 0)
	wait()
end

I would use tweens for this. They are much more performant, less buggy, and look smoother than using a loop.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local taggedParts = CollectionService:GetTagged("starCirclet")

function tween(object, info, property)
	local tween = TweenService:Create(object, info, property)
	tween:Play()
	if info.RepeatCount ~= -1 then
		delay((info.Time * (info.RepeatCount + 1)) + 1, function()
			tween:Destroy()
		end)
	end
end

for _, part in pairs(taggedParts) do
	tween(
		part,
		TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.In, -1), --time, easing style, easing direction, times to loop (-1 is infinite)
		{CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi, 0)}
	)
end

This by itself should work in a local script or a server script. Let me know if you have any issues.

#38

This looks kind of colicated, can you just use like Tween Service? and somehow make it loop infinitly?

#39

Thatā€™s exactly what itā€™s doing. The tween function just makes it simpler to use and it will loop infinitely.

#40

I was going to suggest using an AngularVelocity object for this, because itā€™s likely to be better for performance, however, the parts are probably anchored, making this not doable, and I thought I should work on getting the tagging to work.

I just now changed 2 * math.pi to math.pi so it would actually tween, so make sure you change that as well in your script or whatever you had originally if you use my solution.

Would this work?

I put it inside the same script that was doing the moving tween and just tag it

This script is a server sided script.

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")


local part = script.Parent

local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(
	2,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,
	Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,
	-1,
	true,
	0
)


local rotatingInfo = 
	TweenInfo.new(
		4,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		-1,
		false,
		0
	)


local CS = game:GetService("CollectionService")

local taggedParts = CS:GetTagged("starCirclet")

for _, part in pairs(taggedParts) do
	
--Moving	
	local NewPosition = part.Position + Vector3.new(0,3,0)

	local tween = tweenService:Create (part, tweeninfo, {Position = NewPosition})

	tween:Play()
--Rotating
	local goal = { 
		CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, math.rad(180), 0)
	}
	
	local rotatingtween = tweenService:Create(part, rotatingInfo, goal)
	
	rotatingtween:Play()
end
