lookVector teleporting instead of smoothly moving

  1. What do you want to achieve? I’m testing a Boss Battle system, starting with creating parts.

  2. What is the issue? The part will just teleport to the area, even when I use wait()

local lavaBall = game.ReplicatedStorage.LavaBall

function attack1()
	local lavaBallClone = lavaBall:Clone()
	lavaBallClone.Parent = game.Workspace
	lavaBallClone.CFrame = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
	local lv = lavaBallClone.CFrame.lookVector
	for count = 1,10 do
		lavaBallClone.CFrame = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + (lv*1)
	end
end

attack1()

There’s no errors, so I don’t know what the mistake is.

Look, I don’t understand right anymore, if the problem is that the instance is instantly teleported to the location, try using a Lerp or a Tween on the instance or a BodyVelocity you know

#3

Have you heard of using TweenService? It has the ability to smoothly transition properties without having to use loops of any sort

local lavaBall = game.ReplicatedStorage.LavaBall
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

function attack1()
	local lavaBallClone = lavaBall:Clone()
	lavaBallClone.Parent = game.Workspace
	lavaBallClone.CFrame = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
	local lv = lavaBallClone.CFrame.lookVector
	
    local ProjectileTween = TweenService:Create(lavaBallClone, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {Position = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + lv * 10})
    ProjectileTween:Play()
end

attack1()

Also using a loop without any wait() would result it in travelling instantly, which is 1 of your issues

Yes, I also said “The part will just teleport to the area, even when I use wait()”

It still seems like you’re calling the function way too quickly to begin with in the first place, unless if you’re activating it as a specific interval

Something like a Tween, or Physics-based object can work fine on moving the lavaBallClone
