Make character spin constantly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I want to make a script to constantly rotate player character using Torque. One small issue is that I found literally zero information on how this works and no examples.

Script:

velocity = Instance.new("Torque")
velocity.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.Attachment0
velocity.Torque = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)
attach = Instance.new("Attachment")
attach.Name = "spin attachment"
attach.CFrame = CFrame.new()
attach.Parent = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") --char is asigned before the code block
velocity.Attachment0 = attach

Server script one :

-- Put script in StarterCharacterScripts

local Character = script.Parent

local Torque = Instance.new("Torque", Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")) -- Make torque, totally very important information
Torque.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.Attachment0 -- I don't even know what the heck this thing does
Torque.Torque = Vector3.new(0,0,1200) -- Torque's strength and the direction of the "Torque" 

local Attachment0 = Instance.new("Attachment", Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart"))
Attachment0.CFrame = CFrame.new(Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.UpVector + Vector3.new(0,Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Size.Y/2,0)) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0) -- Make the attachment go on top of the HumanoidRootPart

Torque.Attachment0 = Attachment0

And the local script version one :

-- Put script in StarterPlayerScripts

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

repeat task.wait() until Player.Character ~= nil
local Character = Player.Character

local Torque = Instance.new("Torque", Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")) -- Make torque, totally very important information
Torque.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.Attachment0 -- I don't even know what the heck this thing does
Torque.Torque = Vector3.new(0,0,1200) -- Torque's strength and the direction of the "Torque" 

local Attachment0 = Instance.new("Attachment", Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart"))
Attachment0.CFrame = CFrame.new(Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.UpVector + Vector3.new(0,Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Size.Y/2,0)) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0) -- Make the attachment go on top of the HumanoidRootPart

Torque.Attachment0 = Attachment0

Hope this help you.

And for more information,

Sorry if I make some grammars mistakes.

Edited : Edit some texts so its make a little be more sense

My script is not in StarterCharacter, but in a Tool. And by the way script still does not work.

#4

Do you need the player to spin when the player equipped the tool?

#5

Yes. I use Equipped event and Unequipped to destroy Torque and Attachment.

#6

Okay, and also please note that if you move while the torque rotating the HumanoidRootPart, it will not rotate.

And here is the script :

-- Parent it on your desired tool

local Tool = script.Parent

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Tool.Parent) == nil then return end -- This is totally very important
	
	local Character = Tool.Parent -- Get the character, pretty sure you know this already
	local HumanoidRootPart = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local Torque, Attachment = Instance.new("Torque", HumanoidRootPart), Instance.new("Attachment", HumanoidRootPart) -- Make torque and attachment. And then, parent them both to HumanoidRootPart
	Attachment.CFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.UpVector + Vector3.new(0,HumanoidRootPart.Size.Y/2,0)) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0) -- Make the attachment go on top of the HumanoidRootPart
	Attachment.Name = "OnTopOfTheHumanoidRootPart"
	
	Torque.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.Attachment0
	Torque.Torque = Vector3.new(0,0,500) -- The torque's strength and direction of the "torque"
	Torque.Attachment0 = Attachment
	Torque.Name = "MakeCharacterSpin"
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Tool.Parent) == nil then return end -- This is totally very important
	
	local Character = Tool.Parent -- Get the character, again, I am pretty sure you know this already
	local HumanoidRootPart = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local Torque, Attachment = HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("MakeCharacterSpin"), HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("OnTopOfTheHumanoidRootPart")
end)

Then there is no point. I want for character to rotate and be able to move at the same time.

#8

Yeah, there is really no point when the torque cancel it’s rotation when the character move.

#9

Then how can I rotate character constantly?

#10

I think you can use BodyGyro, but it was deprecated some time ago.

#11

I’ve thinking about using TweenService, BUT it will mostly not work due to the player want their character can move. ( Haven’t tested on using TweenService. )

#12

I can try using AngularVelocity. Though it doesn’t make object rotate constantly, I will try to get around that. I will post results here once I am done.

I have heard of it, it’s basically the newer version of BodyGyro I think.

#15

I have come here to inform you, the AngularVelocity have the same problem as Torque.
Basically it just cancel the rotation when the character move.

#16

My next suggestion is CFrames then.

#17

Yeah I think that is the only way, other than using BodyGyro.

#18

Honestly I kinda understand CFrame a little bit.

#19

Okay, so I’m using lerp right now, it does spin but I can’t move my character. So more work for me

#20

None of CFrames allow to move character. So I guess back to constraints. I am trying AlignOrientation now.

#21

Okay, and I going to work on the “spinning using lerp” one.
