Infinite moving road

I’m trying to make an infinite road that moves backward but generates tiles but I’m not sure how to even start on such a system.

Picture explanation(ms paint):

the player cannot look backward

I have no idea how to start on such a system so any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Create a script that teleports the player to the back section when he or she goes to the front section.

i do not want the player to move what so ever
like not even a decimal of a stud

Use the Search tool up above and type in ‘infinite moving road’.
There are a few posts that show ways of doing it.

I’ve used it before making this post.
it mainly has stationary infinite generation or something completely unrelated, doesn’t have much to offer.

You could create a loop and a table that would delete/move the last tile back to the front

Make a long road then use tweenservice to do move to the road 1 stud or how much you want every second and it should give an infinite illusion.

Is the camera stationary or can it be rotated?

In my way it can but the player should not go to the edge ofcourse.

Couldn’t you just move the texture on the road to achieve the same infinite effect?

You can but the material if applied won’t move which kind of ruins the illusion. Also moving the entire road overall is a better idea because who knows that the OP could be using 3d lines?

it can be rotated 80 degrees in both directions

I want trees and other structures to pass by as well. the reason I want a tile system is I can make presets and areas(biome in a sense)

I plan on making areas such as highway/freeway or backside country roads. I can do all of that I just don’t know where to start on the moving mechanic cause it involves cframes(I am not good with frames)

got this far:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Map = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Map")

local roads = {}

local roadsize = 123
local roadlength = 5
local roadspeed = 2
local roadtween = TweenInfo.new(roadspeed,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear)

-- Start Generation
if #Map.CenterRoad:GetChildren() ~= roadlength then
	local initalstart= ReplicatedStorage.Road:Clone()
	initalstart.Parent = Map.CenterRoad
	initalstart.Name = "Road1"
	local amount = 1
	for i = 1,roadlength-1 do
		local rdcl = ReplicatedStorage.Road:Clone()
		rdcl.Parent = Map.CenterRoad
		rdcl:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(-9,0,roadsize*-amount)*CFrame.Angles(0,-math.pi/2,0))
		rdcl.Name = "Road"..amount + 1
		amount += 1
	end
	for _, i in	pairs(Map.CenterRoad:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(roads,i)
	end
end

-- move backward
while true do
	for _, i in	pairs(roads) do
		if i.PrimaryPart.Position.Z >= roadsize then
			local index = table.find(roads,i)
			table.remove(roads,index)
			i:Destroy()
		else
			local moveroadlmao = TweenService:Create(i.PrimaryPart,roadtween,{["CFrame"] = CFrame.new(i.PrimaryPart.Position+Vector3.new(0,0,roadsize))*CFrame.Angles(0,-math.pi/2,0)})
			moveroadlmao:Play()
		end
	end
	task.wait(roadspeed)
end

one problem

why does it do that :sob::sob::sob:

try increasing the road size and length, i think that’ll help
