My Angular Velocity Gets Sticky In-Game

Help and Feedback Building Support

I created a model of an old IBM Magnetic Tape Unit, and I animated the spinning tape reels. Everything looks pretty good while testing in Run mode inside Studio. But when I try it out in Play Here and Play modes, the reels grind to a stop. Am i missing something with physics settings in-game vs test mode or anything?

If you’d like, you can grab the model here: IBM 729 Magnetic Tape Unit - Roblox

local drive = script.Parent

local fileReel = drive:FindFirstChild(“FileReel”)
local fileSpin = fileReel:FindFirstChild(“AngularVelocity”, true)
local machineReel = drive:FindFirstChild(“MachineReel”)
local machineSpin = machineReel:FindFirstChild(“AngularVelocity”, true)
local startClicker = drive:FindFirstChild(“StartButton”, true):FindFirstChild(“ClickDetector”)

local rnd = Random.new()

function onStartDrive()
if not fileSpin.Enabled then
fileSpin.Enabled = true
machineSpin.Enabled = true

	while true do
		wait(rnd:NextNumber(0.4, 0.8))

		fileSpin.AngularVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
		wait(0.1)
		machineSpin.AngularVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
		wait(0.5)	
		fileSpin.AngularVelocity = Vector3.new(-400, 0, 0)
		machineSpin.AngularVelocity = Vector3.new(-400, 0, 0)
	end
end

end

startClicker.MouseClick:Connect(function()
onStartDrive()
end)

– Autostart if desired

– Comment out if you want the player to click the start button on the drive,
– located at the top of the unit, bottom row of buttons, second from left
onStartDrive()

Yeah, it’s weird. Even if you take the script out of it and just enable the Angular Velocity, there’s still a problem. Thanks for looking :slight_smile:
