How to make part tween upwards from it's current position

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

As the title suggests. I want my part to go up and down FROM it’s current position in the world.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local part = script.Parent and script.Parent.Union

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	3, 
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, 
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
	-1, 
	true, 
	0 
)

local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(18.15, 4.85, 91.3)})

tween:Play()

Currently the code takes the parts position and just makes it go upwards to the coordinates above it in the world.

But how do I make it so in a tween, it takes the parts current position and could just make it go up by like… 5 - 10 studs.

I believe you get the number on an axis

Example:

Vector3.new(Part.Position.X, 50, Part.Position.Z)

The straight-forward answer is:

part.Position + Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)

It is the positive Y axis that goes upward. This is also relative to the original position.

Also it looks like Roblox’s documentation on Vector3 math is gone…

Not sure if this is better, but it works

However i would rather add a Vector3

The question implies a relative position from its current position, including its original height just in case.

Now how do I solve the problem “Can’t cast to dictionary”

Let’s take this line.

Transform it into this:

local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, {Position = part.Position + Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)})

Although an alternative is to just pluck out the other vectors like previous solution:

local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(part.Position.X, part.Position.Y + 10, part.Position.Z)})

Oh hey it works!

Thank you both of you!
