How to move turret cannon up and down?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Im currently working on a tank game and i can move the turret right and left but not up and down, can anybody help?

The movement code currently

if Turret.TurretSeat.Steer == 1 then
			Turret:PivotTo(Turret:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, -math.rad(1), 0))
		elseif Turret.TurretSeat.Steer == -1 then
			Turret:PivotTo(Turret:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(1), 0))
		end
		if Turret.TurretSeat.Throttle == 1 then
			-- idk what to put here
		elseif Turret.TurretSeat.Throttle == -1 then
			-- idk what to put here
		end

Repeat the Pivot function however replace the math.rad(1) at X position rather than Y. And make Y: 0.

i tried that, but it didnt move, maybe its because of the welds in the turret?

#4

How about the Z axis? Any difference?

#5

Nope, still does not move, char limit

#6

Wait I’m a bit off could you show an image of tank and what part of it you want to move?

#7

Make sure your model has a PrimaryPart set or else your pivot will not update automatically and behave correctly.

i want the green part to move

He is using PivotTo not SetPrimaryPartCFrame. You don’t need a Primary part to use PivotTo

#10

Could you show the structure of the tank from Explorer? And what are you referring in the script as Turret?

The whole script currently, the Barrel is what i want to move

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Turret = script.Parent.Turret
local Hull = script.Parent.Hull
local Gun = Turret.Gun.Barrel

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
	RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()	
		if Turret:FindFirstChild("TurretSeat") then
			if Turret.TurretSeat.Steer == 1 then
				Turret:PivotTo(Turret:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, -math.rad(1), 0))
			elseif Turret.TurretSeat.Steer == -1 then
				Turret:PivotTo(Turret:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(1), 0))
			end
			if Turret.TurretSeat.Throttle == 1 then
				Gun:PivotTo(Gun:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(-math.rad(1), 0, 0))
			elseif Turret.TurretSeat.Throttle == -1 then
				Gun:PivotTo(Gun:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(1), 0, 0))
			end
		end
	end)	
end))

Yes he does, some other person ran into a problem similar to this one while using pivot, I was also not aware of it, here’s my post explaining it.

#13

well i set the PrimaryPart but it still doesnt move

#14

Told you.
Check the docs that pivotto is not related with PrimaryPart at all.

Also @Happygamer1983 you can use corountine.wrap which creates and starts a new thread. It’s much less text to write.

#15

the turret movement doesnt work at all with coroutine.wrap()

#16

That happens if you forget the brackets at the end. What I mean is:

coroutine.wrap(function()
end)()

#17

Why are you using a coroutine? You’re just connecting an event.

#18

I guess he wants to cause the script might be bigger.
Oh NVM ye @mniao is right. That’s an event why are you using coroutine?

#19

Scripts still continue after connecting an event so that’s why I’m asking.

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	print("heartbeat")
end)

print("do other stuff")

the coroutine is a left over from testing code, removed it
