I am working on a plugin that allows you to rotate a part without its shape changing (i.e. its bounding box stays the same) since it would be helpful when dealing with cylinders and wedges. It almost works, but it ends up breaking when rotating something on a certain face.
The plugin works by putting a SurfaceSelection on the face of the part that the mouse is currently hovering over. When the mouse clicks, the direction of the face’s normal is multiplied by 90 and is added unto the parts current Orientation.
local mouse = plugin:GetMouse()
local faceSelection:SurfaceSelection? = nil
mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
local Target = mouse.Target
local v = Vector3.FromNormalId(mouse.TargetSurface)
Target.Orientation += v * 90
if v.X ~= 0 then
Target.Size = Vector3.new(Target.Size.X, Target.Size.Z, Target.Size.Y)
elseif v.Y ~= 0 then
Target.Size = Vector3.new(Target.Size.Z, Target.Size.Y, Target.Size.X)
elseif v.Z ~= 0 then
Target.Size = Vector3.new(Target.Size.Y, Target.Size.X, Target.Size.Z)
end
end)
LockRotate.Click:Connect(function()
if plugin:IsActivated() then
plugin:Deactivate()
if faceSelection then faceSelection:Destroy() end
else
plugin:Activate(true)
faceSelection = Instance.new("SurfaceSelection", workspace.Camera)
while task.wait() do
faceSelection.Adornee = mouse.Target
faceSelection.TargetSurface = mouse.TargetSurface
if not plugin:IsActivated() then
faceSelection:Destroy()
break
end
end
end
end)
It seems to happen when the parts Orientation goes from -90, 0, 0 to 0, -180, -180. Help with the problem and feedback on the current code would be greatly appreciated (I’m very new to plugin development).
