Lever tweening problems

[Max_thenoob6284 (Max)]

I am trying to animate a lever using TweenService, and I welded the lever onto a part which will act as a pivot point. The tweening locations are only 60 degrees apart, and this weird behaviour happens but the lever is not affected at all.

These are the tweens used. I only used :Play() and there is nothing else to it.

local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(0.4,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0)
local tween = ts:Create(leverP,tweeninfo,{Rotation = Vector3.new(0,180,-30)})
local tween2 = ts:Create(leverP,tweeninfo,{Rotation = Vector3.new(0,180,30)})

What went wrong?

Use CFrame instead of Rotation.

See if that works.

[Max_thenoob6284 (Max)]

you know i think that might work

[NimaDev (Nima)]

Yes, it will work as song as your model is properly welded together, and make sure only the main part is anchored.

[Max_thenoob6284 (Max)]

pivot is anchored and the lever is unanchored and they’re welded by a WeldConstraint. for some reason when i click the lever it and the pivot point disappears???/

I changed the tween to this

local tween = ts:Create(leverP,tweeninfo,{CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0,180,-30)})
local tween2 = ts:Create(leverP,tweeninfo,{CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0,180,30)})

Use math.rad when using CFrame.Angles.

CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), math.rad(-30))

maybe try Lerp() if math.rad() doesnt help

[Lightning_Game27 (Elitriare)]

if none of the solutions work, use a HingeConstraint and change TargetAngle

[Max_thenoob6284 (Max)]

didn’t really help much. I realised te lever doesn’t disappear, but it teleports to the origin (0,0,0).

[Max_thenoob6284 (Max)]

i think i’ve tried using lerps in the past and they were very difficult to work with. I think i’ll try hingeconstraints.

[Max_thenoob6284 (Max)]

do you think AlignOrientation can do the same?

[Max_thenoob6284 (Max)]

so the only solution that ended up working for me is making a new part entirely, and tweening to the cframe of that part. when wanting to reverse it, I stored the cframe before ever making the tweens so i could go back to that cframe whenever i needed to.
