Need help with smooth movement

[CAKEBOYOFEPICNESS123 (MedPhD)]

so i made a basic code to move a part upwards, but its not as smooth as i would want it to be, i used

while true do
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(0,10,0)
wait(0.5)
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(0,10.1,0)
wait(0.5)

very simple, but its not smooth, im trying to find a code that can made it smoother

You could tween it for a good smooth part movement

[CAKEBOYOFEPICNESS123 (MedPhD)]

can you please expand on that, i dont know what tween is

[nikolai001]

Yeah sure tweening is just a way to “animate” parts very smoothly,
Tween | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub this link explains tweening in a detailed way, scroll down for the correct syntax.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
 
local part = script.Parent
 
local goal = {}
goal.Position = Vector3.new(part.Position.X, part.Position.Y+10, part.Position.Z)
 
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5)
 
local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)
 
tween:Play()

For smooth movement you should be looking at using TweenService. I have made a couple of lengthy replys about how to use TweenService so I suggest you read through them to get an understanding of how to use it(the first post linked uses TweenService on Gui’s but you should be able to adapt it to work for parts in workspace):

You should really be using TweenService for this as it is a much smoother way of rotating an object than the way you are trying to do it. TweenService gives you lots of control over how you want the tween to play, for example you can set how long you want the tween to take or how many times you want the tween to repeat. First off we will need to define our variables. As TweenService is a service we need to get it through GetService() and it is better practice to put this at the top of your scr…

Is this how I should loop my code?

There is a lot better way to move objects smoothly than using these sorts of loops. It is called TweenService. TweenService allows you to create smooth movements with little lag and no stuttering. Here is a little example: local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService") -- Gets TweenService local MovingPart = workspace.MovingPart -- The part you want moved local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new( 10, -- The time it takes for the object to move Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, -- How you want the object…

Do this:

local positions = {posA,posB,...} -- Replace "..." with all your other positions.
local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(time,Enum.EasingStyle.YourStyleHere,Enum.EasingDirection.YourDirectionHere)
for _,pos in pairs(positions) do
    tweenService:Create(part,tweenInfo,{Position = pos}):Play() -- What actually moves the part.
    wait(howeverlongyourtimeintweeninfois)
end

@CAKEBOYOFEPICNESS123 use the TweenService for moving parts, people above have offered decent code for it but you can easily learn how to use it on reference pages too, for future reference.
