My align orientation's orientation resets back to 0,0,0 if i switch keys quickly

[targetframed (target)]

so whenever i switch keys from a to d quickly (fly_left and fly_right) or d to a, etc. it resets my orientation back to 0,0,0. i have a video showing the orientation property and a visual of the car. thanks for the help!!

local currentTilt = CFrame.new()
local frontbackTilt = math.rad(10)
local leftrightTilt = math.rad(15)
local clampedfrontbackTilt = math.clamp(frontbackTilt, -frontbackTilt, frontbackTilt)
local clampedleftrightTilt = math.clamp(leftrightTilt, -leftrightTilt, leftrightTilt)

local function tiltcar(p, action_name)
	local align_orientation = zalek.car_body.AlignOrientation
	local xRot, yRot, zRot = currentTilt:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()

	if action_name == "fly_forward" then
		zRot = zRot - clampedfrontbackTilt
	elseif action_name == "fly_backwards" then
		zRot = zRot + clampedfrontbackTilt
	elseif action_name == "fly_left" then
		xRot = xRot - clampedleftrightTilt
	elseif action_name == "fly_right" then
		xRot = xRot + clampedleftrightTilt
	elseif action_name == "stop_fly_forward" or action_name == "stop_fly_backwards" then
		zRot = 0
	elseif action_name == "stop_fly_left" or action_name == "stop_fly_right" then
		xRot = 0
	end

	currentTilt = CFrame.Angles(xRot, yRot, zRot)
	align_orientation.CFrame = currentTilt
end

“stop_fly_?” is received after the opposing side’s “start_fly_?*”. There’s no state kept to see what input is active to prevent nullifying the opposite side’s math. You can either add variables to implement that or check if the rotation is actually leaning to the stopping side before zeroing the rotation.

perfect job mate. i added a config with w,a,s,d states and added 2 conditionals at the end and it seems to have done the trick. thanks very much for your help!!!

code solution:

local currentTilt = CFrame.new()
local frontbackTilt = math.rad(10)
local leftrightTilt = math.rad(15)
local clampedfrontbackTilt = math.clamp(frontbackTilt, -frontbackTilt, frontbackTilt)
local clampedleftrightTilt = math.clamp(leftrightTilt, -leftrightTilt, leftrightTilt)

local function tiltcar(p, action_name)
	local align_orientation = zalek.car_body.AlignOrientation
	local xRot, yRot, zRot = currentTilt:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()

	if action_name == "fly_forward" then
		zalek_data.config:SetAttribute("W", true)
		zRot = zRot - clampedfrontbackTilt
	elseif action_name == "fly_backwards" then
		zalek_data.config:SetAttribute("S", true)
		zRot = zRot + clampedfrontbackTilt
	elseif action_name == "fly_left" then
		zalek_data.config:SetAttribute("A", true)
		xRot = xRot - clampedleftrightTilt
	elseif action_name == "fly_right" then
		zalek_data.config:SetAttribute("D", true)
		xRot = xRot + clampedleftrightTilt
	elseif action_name == "stop_fly_forward" then
		zalek_data.config:SetAttribute("W", false)
	elseif action_name == "stop_fly_backwards" then
		zalek_data.config:SetAttribute("S", false)
	elseif action_name == "stop_fly_left" then
		zalek_data.config:SetAttribute("A", false)
	elseif action_name == "stop_fly_right" then
		zalek_data.config:SetAttribute("D", false)
	end

	if zalek_data.config:GetAttribute("A") and not zalek_data.config:GetAttribute("D") then
		xRot = -clampedleftrightTilt
	elseif zalek_data.config:GetAttribute("D") and not zalek_data.config:GetAttribute("A") then
		xRot = clampedleftrightTilt
	elseif not zalek_data.config:GetAttribute("A") and not zalek_data.config:GetAttribute("D") then
		xRot = 0
	end

	if not zalek_data.config:GetAttribute("W") and not zalek_data.config:GetAttribute("S") then
		zRot = 0
	end

	currentTilt = CFrame.Angles(xRot, yRot, zRot)
	align_orientation.CFrame = currentTilt
end
