Need Help Flipping An Item Over In Replicated Storage

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

So I have admin commands I made in my game. One of them is ;boxtrap me and it traps you in a box but I want that box to be flipped over. One thing i tried was flipping it over before adding it into the replicated storage, but that didn’t work. can anyone help? Thanks!

post this in #help-and-feedback:scripting-support

function FlipBox(Box)
      Box.Orientation = Box.Orientation + Vector3.new(0, 180, 0)
end

change the 180 to -180 if it doesn’t work

4

ok i will try that. also sorry about posting it in game design i wasnt sure

5

yeah, I haven’t tested that. (By the way make sure the box is a part or union or meshPart, not a model.)

6

so the part is a mesh and i should work but it didn’t. should i add this in a script in the meshpart?
because that is what i did

7

let me try doing the -180 instead of 180

8

So basically do
FlipBox(script.Parent) if the script is in a meshpart

9

so .Parent) says their is an error :thinking:

10

and yes the script is inside a meshpart

You will need to set the parts CFrame. If it is a model change the PrimaryPart CFrame.

CFrame.Angles is used for rotations, however it’s parameters are taken in radians not degrees. You can use math.rad(degree) to convert a degree to a radian (you can use math.deg(radian) to convert a radian to a degree).

Part.CFrame = Part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), 0, 0) This code will rotate the part 90 degrees on its X axis.

so i think we would also need to add
local Part = game.ReplicatedStorage.Box

All I did was provide an example of how Angles works. Edit what I provided to work with your code, don’t come here expecting people to just fix your code for you.

Can you show us pictures of the box, and the Orientation property of the box?
