How to tween a slide on a gun tool?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

ive been trying to tween the slide of a gun when it shoots but I cant seem to figure it out because tween dont work with tools. I tried using motor6d motor6d is only capable of rotating not the back and forth motion of the slide. And btw I cannot use an animation to tween it, it needs to be an actual script.

#2

So, have the slide be welded to the gun, weld it to the gun. You’ll need a TweenService in your script and you’ll just have to do something like this whenever it get’s shot:

TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

TweenerInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.35, Enum.EasingStyle.Sextic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, true)

local shotAnimation = TweenService:Create(--[[Replace this part with wherever the weld is at]], 
TweenerInfo, 
{C1 = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 0, C1.CFrame.LookVector.Z - 0.4), C1.CFrame.Orientation)})
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()

shotAnimation:Play()
end)

You need to fix thiss code to best fit for your situation, this code is very scuffed since I don’t have details of the slider part. If you need more help, let me know.

but tweenservice doesnt work in parts for some reason

#4

How does your setup look like? It should work in parts so you must have set it wrongly.

#5

i tried this but i get the error CFrame is not a valid member of CFrame? btw sorry for late reply

#6

How’s your code looking right now?

#7 
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

			local TweenerInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.35, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, true)

			local shotAnimation = TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Gun.Barrel.qCFrameWeldThingy, 
				TweenerInfo, 
				{C1 = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 0, script.Parent.Gun.Barrel.qCFrameWeldThingy.C1.CFrame.LookVector.Z - 0.4), script.Parent.Gun.Barrel.qCFrameWeldThingy.C1.CFrame.Orientation)})

				shotAnimation:Play()
#8

My bad. Remove the CFrame between the C1 and LookVector.

#9

still the same error… Barrel.qCFrameWeldThingy.C1.LookVector.Z wait im going to try it with the cframe removed on the other line too, alright when i do that it says orientation is not a valid member of cframe

#10

Just try searching other posts.
I typed in “gun slide animation” and came up with a few posts about it, one that mentions tweening in the description.

#11

right but like I stated in my post I cant use animations, I need to use tweenservice.

#12

any idea for a fix since that didnt work?

#13

I mentioned tweenservice in that post as well…

#14

Could you give me a place file so I can look at it and do my trial and errors?

#15

Also, what type of weld is it? That’s a contribution to the problem. If it was a WeldConstraint, it wouldn’t have either C1 or C0.

#16

instead of using C1 you can possibly using CFrame instead

local shotAnimation = TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Gun.Barrel, 
				TweenerInfo, 
				{C1 = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 0, script.Parent.Gun.Barrel.CFrame.LookVector.Z - 0.4), script.Parent.Gun.Barrel.CFrame.Orientation)})

Zylo all you have to do is create a motor6d to the weapons handle and animate it accordingly with the motor6d.

the motor6d allows you to freely move the slide part anyway u want forward backward etc .

the use of animations to move the slide is very simple yet not so hard to accomplish.

i have done it several times etc in my gun system.

DO NOT WELD ANIMATED PARTS u motor6d them.
and tweening parts of weapons is not really ideal

if this was ur answer please set this as the solution.

#18

its a normal weld, no weldconstraint.

#19

but I need my thing to be in a script and with no animations.

#20

why? just add an animation and load the animation each time ur shooting event is fired.
