Pivot snapping back to origin

So, I have been making a door.
I just realized how to fix said door.
I feel like an idiot.

have you tried using a tweening service instead? or is there actual use for the door to have physics?

I can’t tween it, as it is a group. I would need to use either :PivotTo or :SetPrimaryPartCFrame in a tween, which, as far as I know, isn’t possible.

unanchor all but the door and weld everything to the door that should work

I have done that, but it causes some inconsistencies. Either answer the post’s question or just ignore it, please. I am asking how to get the pivot to stop snapping, not how to make a door.

You have to make 2 doors. One of the doors will be invisible, cancollide off and in the open position . As you have already done the welding, you can tween the door when its closed, to the open doors CFrame. Then, when the door is open, tween it back to its original CFrame.

Refer to the previous posts. I am not using Tween, I am using pivot. If you don’t want to answer the question about the pivot, ignore it.

Either way, that wouldn’t work, because the door is made up of multiple parts inside of a group.

Ah man ogorient was set to 0 im so dumb lol

BOOM.


functions.DoorOpenClose = function(RunService, group, pivot, openBool, isOpen, ogOrient)
	local openAngle
	local extraOpenAngle
	
	openAngle = ogOrient - 90
	
	if isOpen == false then
		extraOpenAngle = ogOrient - 90
	else
		extraOpenAngle = ogOrient
	end

	local startTime = os.clock()
	local openTime = 0.5

	local timeElapsed = os.clock() - startTime
	
	local alpha
	
	repeat
		if extraOpenAngle ~= ogOrient then
			alpha = timeElapsed / openTime
		else
			alpha = 1 - timeElapsed / openTime
		end
		
		group:PivotTo(pivot * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(alpha * openAngle), 0))

		RunService.Stepped:Wait()
		
		timeElapsed = os.clock() - startTime
	until timeElapsed >= openTime
	
	return {openBool, false}
end

(My gosh I’m way too invested in this.)
