Making a moving conveyor texture aside from beam

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Is there any way to make a texture move? the movement rate of the texture is similiar to the velocity of the part

A texture is static, however it has an an offset property to give a false sense it is moving.

All you have to do is create a loop that increases or decreases the texture’s OffsetStudsU and/or OffsetStudsY in some type of way. Let me show you a quick example:

This is the hierarchy:

This is the script:

game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function(t, delta)
	script.Parent.Texture.OffsetStudsU = script.Parent.Texture.OffsetStudsU + delta * 10
end)

And this is the result:

can i run this on local script?

Yes, you can. But it the texture moving won’t be replicated to other clients, only that client itself. Which, I don’t think you need to worry about.

#6 
for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace.InGameObby:GetChildren()) do
	for x,y in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
		for a,b in pairs(y:GetChildren()) do
				if b.Name == "Conveyor" or b.Name == "conveyor" then
					game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function(t, delta)
						b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsV = b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsV + delta * -10
					end)
				end
			end
		end
	end

all of my obbies run on client so that the players lag wont affect other player’s performance
so i made this for loop that check when a child of a stage is named conveyor then it run the code that you send here to the child of that conveyor which is the texture but it’s not moving i wonder why

#7

You should replace this:
b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsV = b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsV + delta * -10
to that:
b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsY = b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsY + delta * -10

#8

this only change the directory of the moving texture i dont want the texture to produce the wave sideways i want it forward thats why i made it v

#9

OffsetStudsV isn’t a property of texture, so thats why you texture is not moving.

then maybe this code solves your issue?

b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsU = b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsU+ delta * -10
#10 
b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsY

is not a property of a texture

b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsV

is a property of a texture

Instead of having an abnormal amount of in pairs loops, you can do the same thing with just one.
Instance:GetDescendants() gets the children of children of children, etc. Basically everything that is under it.

Try this and see if it works:

for _, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
	if v.Name == "Conveyor" or v.Name == "conveyor" then
		local conveyorTexture = v.ConveyorTexture
		game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function(delta)
			conveyorTexture.OffsetStudsV = conveyorTexture.OffsetStudsV + delta * 10
		end)
	end
end

This is still highly unoptimized, as it creates a RunService loop for every single conveyor in existence. In the future, I’d recommend trying different methods.

The conveyor is still not moving

#13

oh, sorry about that.

Also, why aren’t using :GetDescendants() ? It’s a better solution for get all instances.

(code untested)

GetService("RunService").Stepped_Connect(function(t, delta)
   for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace.InGameObby:GetDescendants()) do
        if b.Name == "Conveyor" or b.Name == "conveyor" then	
				b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsV = b.ConveyorTexture.OffsetStudsV + delta * -10
			end)
		end
	end

And there’s no errors?? I need to know if there’s any errors.

Maybe wait a few seconds before you call those lines, as certain objects may not be instanced in yet.

Try a wait(5) before everything.

Anyways, it’s 4:30am for me, and I haven’t slept, so I have to go now unfortunately. Good night!
