Others can't see movement from script

#11

  1. I change the pivot, but the movement doesn’t seem to notice it changed, maybe it has to be applied in the code or something.

  2. The longer I hold the key, the faster the rotation goes, instead of staying at a constant speed.

#12

Yep.

Just tested it for myself, realized that pivots run on a separate CFrame system:

RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if Knuckles then
		local x,y,z = FrontKnuckle:ToOrientation()
		FrontKnuckle:PivotTo(FrontKnuckle:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(x, y - 0.05, z))
	end
end)

See if this fix solves the second problem as well.

I’m so sorry :sweat_smile:

RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if Knuckles then
		local x,y,z = FrontKnuckle.CFrame:ToOrientation()
		FrontKnuckle:PivotTo(FrontKnuckle:GetPivot()* CFrame.Angles(x, y - 0.05, z))
	end
end)
#15

It works now!
But for some reason even having it at 0.05 makes it extremely fast…
Slowing it down would require something like 0.000005, is there a way to fix that?
Something like (1 being really slow as a minimum)

#16

Roblox uses two measurements for angles, radians and degrees.

x, y, z are in radians however 0.05 can be thought of as being in degrees.
we just need to convert 0.05 degrees to radians

the formula for that is:
radians = degrees * pi/180°
0.05 deg = 0.000873 rad | Much smaller

However, Lua has a built-in function to do it for you: math.rad()

Anyways here’s the updated code:

RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if Knuckles then
		local x,y,z = FrontKnuckle.CFrame:ToOrientation()
		FrontKnuckle:PivotTo(FrontKnuckle:GetPivot()* CFrame.Angles(x, y - math.rad(0.05), z))
	end
end)

Hope it helps!

#17

It does the same thing sadly.

Maybe the multiplier has something to do with it, might be increasing it to a bigger number, but I’m not sure.

(Also forgot to mention it still speeds up exponentially the longer I hold it)

#18

Unsure if CFrame allows additive behavior of angles, but see if replacing * with + fixes it:

		FrontKnuckle:PivotTo(FrontKnuckle:GetPivot() + CFrame.Angles(x, y - math.rad(0.05), z))
#19

Putting the + made it stop moving :sweat_smile:

#20

I fully tested it out and figured out the problem, try this for the PivotTo():

FrontKnuckle:PivotTo(CFrame.Angles(x, y - math.rad(0.05), z) + FrontKnuckle:GetPivot().Position)

It was wayyy slower :sob:

#21

Finally works!!

Thank you so much :grin:

Minor issue again :sob:

Might need a way to stop it when it gets to that point (or at 90 degrees)

#23

Yeah, that looks brokey :sweat_smile:

Use math.clamp(x, min, max) to constrain the motion. If that doesn’t work try wrapping math.rad() around 0 and 90 as those are degree values.

local speed = 0.1
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local x,y,z = FrontKnuckle.CFrame:ToOrientation()
	FrontKnuckle:PivotTo(CFrame.Angles(x, math.clamp(y - math.rad(speed), 0, 90), z) + FrontKnuckle:GetPivot().Position)
end)
#24

Neither method worked, unless I did “wrapping math.rad() around 0 and 90” wrong:

local speed = 0.03
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local x,y,z = Digit1.CFrame:ToOrientation()
	Digit1:PivotTo(CFrame.Angles(math.clamp(x - math.rad(speed, 0, 90), y, z)) + Digit1:GetPivot().Position)
end)
#25

We’ll just leave 0 since 0 degrees = 0 radians, but encase 90 in a math.rad():

local speed = 0.1
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local x,y,z = FrontKnuckle.CFrame:ToOrientation()
	FrontKnuckle:PivotTo(CFrame.Angles(x, math.clamp(y - math.rad(speed), 0, math.rad(90)), z) + FrontKnuckle:GetPivot().Position)
end)
#26

Somehow still nothing.
All I changed was “FrontKnuckle” to Digit1 (I renamed the part label to that)

#27

Did you rename all of the references inside of the LocalScript and Script?

#28

Yep, I’m sure.

--// SERVER (SERVERSCRIPTSERVICE) //--
local REP = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")

local remote = REP.FK1

local Digit1 = game.Workspace.RobotArm.Claw.DigitsKnuckles.Digit1
local Digits

local speed = 0.1
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local x,y,z = Digit1.CFrame:ToOrientation()
	Digit1:PivotTo(CFrame.Angles(math.clamp(x - math.rad(speed), 0, math.rad(90)), y, z) + Digit1:GetPivot().Position)
end)

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, state)
	Digits = state
end)

I didn’t change a single thing in the client script too.

We keep bumping this topic, want to move this over to DevForum messenger?
