How to move turret cannon up and down?

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

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)

what would i put into the new CFrame though?

#29

Same thing, just to see if it does something.

#30

Check the code above in my last comment I edited it.

#31

it does work but not really

Okay well then do with pivot to I guess just change to Z in that case.

#33

if i use your edited code the turret is just gone
i used this code

Gun.CFrame = Gun:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, -math.rad(1))
#34

Nevermind try it on the X axis.

#35

this code dose rotate it up/down but it does it for the whole turret

#36

How about something like this?

--inside heartbeat event
local turretSeat = Turret:FindFirstChild("TurretSeat")

if turretSeat then
	if turretSeat.Steer ~= 0 then
		Gun.CFrame = Gun:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(turretSeat.Steer), 0)
	end
end
#37

Doesnt work, breaks everything

I think the problem is the welds, if i remove them and anchnor the part it works fine, but i need the welds

#39

Oh that explains the problem, we should offset the weld instead, try this.

local weld = nil --you're gonna have to get the weld
weld.C1 = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(turretSeat.Steer), 0)
#40

they are WeldConstraint’s not welds, do i have to change them to welds?

#41

ok so i got it working, another thing how could i add a limit to how far up/down it can go? (Just replaced the WeldConstraint in the barrel with a normal Weld)

if Turret.TurretSeat.Throttle == 1 then
			Gun.CFrame = Gun:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, -math.rad(1))
		elseif Turret.TurretSeat.Throttle == -1 then
			Gun.CFrame = Gun:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(1))
		end
