Moving part script not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I am a complete beginner scripter and was just experimenting around with making a moving part. I want the part to move 10 studs to the right, then 10 studs to the left, then stop. Could you tell me why this is not working?

local part = Instance.new(“Part”)

part.Position = Vector3.new(0,1,0)

part.CanCollide = false

part.Anchored = true

part.Parent = workspace

while part.Position.X ~= 10 do

part.Position = Vector3.new(0.1,0,0)

wait()

end

while part.Position.X ~= -10 do

part.Position = Vector3.new(-0.1,0,0)

wait()

end

you set the anchored property to true set it to false then it should work

also why are you running it twice

3

The second time the value is negative. Also, when I unanchored the part, it dissapeared.

4

re anchor it and change its CFrame Instead and use CFrame.new

or else you would have to use MoveTo

5

I modified the code as follows:

local part = Instance.new(“Part”)

part.Position = Vector3.new(0,2,0)

part.CanCollide = false

part.Anchored = true

part.Parent = workspace

while part.Position.X ~= 10 do

part.CFrame = part.CFrame + Vector3.new(0.1,0,0)

wait()

end

while part.Position.X ~= -10 do

part.CFrame = part.CFrame + Vector3.new(-0.1,0,0)

wait()

end

Now the part keeps going.

6

keeps going what?

i do not understand

7

Like when the X value reaches 10, it keeps going.

8

reset its cframe back then try again

9

What do you mean, reset it back to zero?

10

reset its original Cframe like before

11

local part = Instance.new(“Part”)
part.Position = Vector3.new(0,2,0)
part.CanCollide = false
part.Anchored = true
part.Parent = workspace

while true do
part.CFrame = part.CFrame + Vector3.new(0.1,0,0)
wait()
	if part.Position.X ~= 10 then
	
    CFrame.new(0,0,0)

end

end

while true do
part.CFrame = part.CFrame + Vector3.new(-0.1,0,0)
wait()
if part.Position.X ~= -10 then

    CFrame.new(0,0,0)

end

end

Why is this not working?

Why it’s not working:

I never use Position but it should be something like this when you use CFrame:
part.CFrame = CFrame + Vector3.new(0,2,0)

You aren’t using CFrame properly, I’d fix it something like this:
part.CFrame = CFrame + Vector3.new(0.1,2,0)

What is X? I’m pretty sure that’s not a property.

You are not being specific on what you want to change. Replace CFrame.new(0,0,0) with part.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,2,0) 2 because that’s the height of the part.

The same with the rest of the code.

Therefore, I will use TweenService for smoother movement than CFrame.

local part = Instance.new("Part") -- Create part
part.Parent = workspace
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = true
part.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,5,0) -- Spawn Position.

wait(10) -- A wait function so it gives you time to load.
local tweenService = game:GetService('TweenService') -- Get TweenService.
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(3) --Time to reach to final position.
local properties = {CFrame = CFrame.new(10,5,0)} -- The new position you want.
local tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, properties) --Creating tween
tween:Play()

wait(1)
-- The same as the last line but makes it turn back
local tweenService = game:GetService('TweenService')
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(3)
local properties = {CFrame = CFrame.new(0,5,0)}
local tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, properties)
tween:Play()

Before pasting the entire code you should learn about CFrame for the first answer and TweenService for the fixed code.
Check it twice so you understand it. Hope it works! :+1:

Please correct me if I am wrong, as I am half new in scripting and there may be other ways to do this.
