Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make a basic movement script for a game, however, I do not possess the brainpower in order to figure this out, so, my question is as follows:

How do I get the way a part is facing, and then move the part 1 stud in this direction?

#2

you would need to use CFrame for this

but to move a part 1 stud in the direction it’s looking at you can do it like this

Part.CFrame = Part.CFrame + Part.CFrame.LookVector * 1

part.Position += part.CFrame.LookVector * step

Wow thanks, much simpler than I imagined haha

Say I wanted to make a movement script and needed to convert the CFrame into a Vector3 value, how would I do this?

Example, the Humanoid:Move() function needs a vector 3 to tell it where to move.

I need to get the way the part is facing, convert that into a Vector3 and move a stud in its direction.

Edit: I have found a solution that involves trigonometry.

You know about CFrame.Position And CFrame.Rotation, right?

#7

Yes, I used CFrame.Orientation to get the Y orientation and used trigonometry to find the X and Z, then I just moved 1 stuff forward in that direction. Or something along those lines as I am not looking at my script currently.
