Math.rad(180) works, but math.rad(360) doesn't

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local parts = game:GetService("Workspace"):WaitForChild("partStorage")

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out,-1)

parts.ChildAdded:Connect(function(part)
	local properties = {CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(360),0,0)} -- Here
	local tween = TweenService:Create(part,tweenInfo,properties)
	tween:Play()
	wait(2)
	tween:Play()
end)

I want the part to rotate 360 degrees, but it won’t rotate at all. It only works when math.rad(180),0,0), but then it’s rotating 180 degrees. Does anyone know how to fix this?

does

math.rad(359)

work?

Nope, math.rad(359) doesn’t work

That’s because rotating something by 360º is the same as rotating it by 0º.

You would have to rotate it by 180 120º three times.

How would i rotate it 180 degrees twice?

6

Ideally you would even split it into 120 degree increments to specify what direction you want to go

Nvm, do it in 120º increments as @PapaBreadd said as I wasn’t thinking about direction

parts.ChildAdded:Connect(function(part)
    for i = 1,3
        local properties = {CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(120), 0, 0)
        local tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, properties)
        tween:Play()
        tween.Completed:Wait()
    end
end)

I tried this, but it’s rotating 120 degrees but then it resets

That’s because your repeat count is -1 meaning it’s going to repeat infinitely. You should change it to 0 or just remove that argument entirely.

If you just want it to rotate continuously you don’t need tween service you can just change the CFrame yourself

local RADS_PER_SECOND = math.rad(360)
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
parts.ChildAdded:Connect(function(part)
	RunService.Stepped:Connect(function(t, dt)
		part.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(dt * RADS_PER_SECOND, 0, 0)
	end)
end)

It works when I remove it, but I want it to repeat infinitely, rotating 360 degrees. How would I do that?

Why not try 2 * math.pi instead of math.rad(360)

I see. You should use @nicemike40’s solution then as it will constantly rotate linearly.

You could also do a while true do loop but I think nicemike’s solution will be more performant.

Isn’t TweenService better for performance?

Pretty sure TweenService uses runservice on the backend in combination with lerping. TweenService is mainly useful when you want to do different easing styles.

If I had to guess, TweenService has a lot more overhead than the code I posted.
