This is a very very basic problem. Even though this is basic I do not know how to put this in a for loop or while true do loop and make it work. So basiclly, what the script is doing is that it creates a part, sets that part to the original part rightvector and creates a random axis and angle to rotate on. But when I put this in a while true do loop or a for loop it basiclly still creates a part at the original part when what I am trying to do is create a part depending on the newPart. It is basiclly like a chain one follows the other. I need help on putting this on a while true do loop. Here is the script
local part = script.Parent
local maxRange = 50
local numberOfPartsAllowed = 5
local function increaseSize(part)
local increment = Vector3.new(1,0,0)
for i = 1,maxRange,1 do
part:Resize(Enum.NormalId.Left,1)
wait(0.01)
if i == maxRange then
return part
end
end
end
local function createPart()
local p = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
p.Anchored = true
p.CanCollide = false
p.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
p.Name = "SPAWNEDPART"
return p
end
local function getAngle()
local minAngle = -90
local maxAngle = 10
local randomAngle = math.random(minAngle,maxAngle)
return randomAngle
end
local function getAxis()
local x = 1
local y = 2
local z = 3
local randomAxis = math.random(x,z)
return randomAxis
end
local function setUp(part,otherPart)
local randomAxis = getAxis()
local randomAngle = getAngle()
if randomAxis == 1 then
local RightOfPart = part.CFrame - (part.CFrame.RightVector * part.Size.X/2)
local offSet = CFrame.new(-1.5,0,0)
otherPart.CFrame = RightOfPart:ToWorldSpace(offSet) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(randomAngle))
elseif randomAxis == 2 then
local TopOfPart = part.CFrame - (part.CFrame.UpVector * part.Size.Y/2)
local offSet = CFrame.new(0,1.5,0)
otherPart.CFrame = TopOfPart:ToWorldSpace(offSet) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(randomAngle))
elseif randomAxis == 3 then
local FrontOfPart = part.CFrame - (part.CFrame.LookVector * part.Size.Z/2)
local offSet = CFrame.new(0,0,1.5)
otherPart.CFrame = FrontOfPart:ToWorldSpace(offSet) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(randomAngle))
end
end
--This is my attempt
for i = 1, numberOfPartsAllowed, 1 do
if increaseSize(part) then
local newPart = createPart()
setUp(part,newPart)
part = nil
if increaseSize(newPart) then
local newerPart = createPart()
setUp(newPart,newerPart)
newPart = nil
local newpart = increaseSize(part)
end
end
end

You can just put this in a part is you wanna test it out by the way
Whats the purpose of this?
Are you trying to make a tree?
The behavior seems kinda weird but it could be intended behavior, Im not sure
I just feel like if I knew what you were trying to accomplish Id be able to better assess the problem
See that’s the problem. The picture right there is something I don’t want. So I basically want a part spawning from the part that previously spawned. I don’t want the grey part to keep going. I am trying to make it so that the green parts spawn on the previous green parts
Also I am just practicing that’s why I am doing this.
Do you want something kinda like this?
Yes. My script already does that. The problem is the loops. I can’t seem to figure out how to make it keep going
You want it to go infinitely rather than just for a set duration?
I want to make it go for like 5 times. That is why I had the for loop there.
I couldnt get your script to work and just kinda messed with it a bit
This is the loop for the most recent image I posted if thats what you’re looking for, but I probably did something wrong
local lastPart = createPart()
increaseSize(part)
for i = 1, numberOfPartsAllowed, 1 do
if increaseSize(part) then
local part = createPart()
setUp(lastPart,part)
increaseSize(part)
lastPart = part
end
end
I think if I can keep playing around and switching things up using your idea I could prob get this to work. I’m getting close, the only problem now is that the base part keeps increasing even after the green parts spawn I’ll try to figure a way out to fix that. Thanks for the idea I’ll set this as a solution

I got it to work thanks to your solution. Thank you for the help! Really appreciate!
Updated Code:
