Tween:Create(Elevator.PrimaryPart.DoorLeft, TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0), {C0  = CFrame.new(Elevator.PrimaryPart.DoorLeft.C1.X * -2,0,0)}):Play()

the metal parts are the doors and are supposed to be spread open

is there a way to make this detect what axis its looking and open based on that?

You can grab the original CFrame object, and multiply it by an offset.

local NewCFrame = Object.CFrame * CFrame.new(2,0,0) -- Change this to the part you want to change

This ensures that when you plug this variable inside the Tween, it will move 2 studs on its local axis.
You might need to tinker around the second CFrame if those offsets are not what you wanted.

#3

Is there an automatic way to do this? can toobjectspace be used for this?
