How to move turret cannon up and down?

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")
#20

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

#21

Well there is no need for it, have you checked if the Steer value is actually changing?

#22

The problem is that he would need to rotate it by the small barrel before the actual gunpart and I am also facing that problem too in my games so I am not sure how I can help him.

#23

it does change i, tested that earlier

#24

i just need to rotate the barrel, i made it so the center point of the barrel is at the point where i want it to rotate

#26

but how does the other rotate function work without .Value?

#27

Steer is not a value it’s a property plus it is working the problem is at the throttle and is related to the positioning of the item.

@Happygamer1983 he thought that it’s a ObjectValue rather than a seat.

Since the Barrel is just a part you could try…
Barrel.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(math.deg(10), 0,0)
