My Part Placing Tool Rotation Is Broken?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

This has genuinely stumped me for 2 days straight.

I made a tool for placing stuff right? I made a rotate (R) and twist (T) feature, it works fine. But there’s one problem I can’t manage to fix.

So basically, whenever you press R once, and T again, this happens right?

Then when I press R again, instead of going like this:

It goes like this?

This is the code that’s supposed to rotate the plank in that order:

--[[MY VARIABLES]]--
local partOrientations = {
	rot0 = CFrame.Angles(0,0,0),
	rot1 = CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90),0),
	rot2 = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-90),0,0),
	rot3 = CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90),math.rad(-90)),
	rot4 = CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(180),math.rad(-90)),
	rot5 = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-90),math.rad(-90),0)
}

--[[CODE SOMEWHERE INSIDE A INPUTBEGAN FUNCTION]]--
elseif currentPartOrientation == partOrientations.rot2 then
			if rotationDebugging == true then
				print("rot2 > rot5")
			end
			currentPartOrientation = partOrientations.rot5
			partInstance.CFrame = CFrame.new(getMouse.Hit.p) * currentPartOrientation
		elseif currentPartOrientation == partOrientations.rot5 then
			if rotationDebugging == true then
				print("rot5 > rot2")
			end
			currentPartOrientation = partOrientations.rot2
			partInstance.CFrame = CFrame.new(getMouse.Hit.p) * currentPartOrientation

Whenever I rotate it, it’s supposed to switch from rot2 (-90,0,0) to rot5 (-90,90,0) right?
Instead, it switches the orientation from (-90,0,0) to (0,90,-90)??

It prints out “rot2 > rot5” so it isn’t firing anything else… Why is this happening?

What does this mean?

RTTR, or RTR?

EDIT: Oh, and you could simplify your code a lot of you just make R and T rotate 90 degrees on different axes. Is there a reason that you’ve got that specific rotation pattern?

R and T means like I’m pressing those keys in the keyboard.

I mean, I am technically adding 90 degrees right? I just did it in a different way. I can’t really change or touch the code cuz I’m on vacation. Typing on a phone is so painful.

(Do you know why it’s switching from (90,0,0) to (0,90,-90), even though rot5 variable isn’t (0,90,-90)?)
