I am not the best at math.
I am currently writing a simple function to split a part evenly based on its size.
Original brick:
(Size: 10, 1, 10)
What I want:
My code:
local function cut(part)
local sX, sY, sZ = part.Size.X, part.Size.Y, part.Size.Z
local bottom = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -sY / 2, 0)
for i = 1, sX / 2, 1 do -- part size is always going to be divisible by 2
local clone = part:Clone()
clone.Size = Vector3.new(2, sY, sZ)
clone.CFrame = bottom + Vector3.new(0, i * 2, 0)
clone.Parent = game.Workspace.Terrain
end
part:Destroy()
end
My result:
It seems to split fine, but it offsets the position weirdly. I think I got the bottom surface of the part incorrectly.
If anyone could help me with that (should be a simple fix really) I would appreciate it. I’ve done my fair share of research on DevForums and Google too.
Took me a little while to figure out what was going on because I think you have your part rotated in a weird direction. You should make the parts orientation (0, 0, 0) instead of like (0, 180, -90) (at least that’s what I think its oriented at).
What was tripping you up was probably that the part size and part position vector values were switched. On the part size, the X vector was the height instead of the Y. So you were multiplying the wrong thing. I wrote some code below fixing the issue using your current part orientation, but for future reference try and make everything oriented normally so that weird bugs like this don’t occur.
local function cut(part)
local sX, sY, sZ = part.Size.X, part.Size.Y, part.Size.Z
local bottom = part.CFrame * CFrame.new(sX/2 + 1, 0, 0)
for i = 1, sX / 2 do -- part size is always going to be divisible by 2
local clone = part:Clone()
clone.Size = Vector3.new(2, sY, sZ)
clone.CFrame = bottom + Vector3.new(0, i*2, 0)
clone.Parent = game.Workspace.Terrain
end
part:Destroy()
end
