Part Moving Smoothly between two other parts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello everybody! I am making a lazer light show, and I have a beam coming from a part into another part (as beams work). I would like the part to move between two parts smoothly, and obviously the beam will follow this block. This is my script:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Start = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Start")
local End = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("End")

local PartToMove = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("PartToMove")
local TweenInformation = TweenInfo.new(
	0.5, 
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, 
	Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 
	5, 
	true, 
	1 
)

local EndProperties = {
	Position = End.Position	
}

local StartProperties = {
	Position = Start.Position	
}

local TweenToPlay = TweenService:Create(PartToMove,TweenInformation,EndProperties)
local StartTweenToPlay = TweenService:Create(PartToMove,TweenInformation,StartProperties)

while true do
	TweenToPlay:Play()
	wait()
end

Currently , this only goes to the part named ‘End’, but I want it to travel in between Start and End constantly. Thanks for any help!

I think there’s a property in tweens called reverse or something. Sorry, I’m not very knowledgeble at tweenservice.

Instead of using tween you can use :Lerp()

local PartToMove = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("PartToMove")
local Start = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Start")
local End = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("End")

for i = 0,.5,.01 do
wait()
PartToMove.CFrame = start.CFrame:Lerp(End.CFrame,i)
end
-- I didnt test the code tell me if theres an errors

No this does not work? Not sure why, but a couple of your things inside the script did not match with the references you made at the start, so I edited them?

Do you want the part to move between the 2 parts in a loop or is it something else I’m not getting?

I want the part to move betwen 2 in a loop yes

If anyone else has got any ways to fix it, if you could let me know that would be extremely helpful!
