Placement system model not rotating

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve been stuck at this simple task for days: rotate the model, but it doesn’t for some reason, i’ve checked some answers in other questions, nothing worked, it’s a localscript inside the starter gui:
image
(it’s inside the Inventory frame btw, TextButton)

here is the code

local tower = nil
local isPlacing = false
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local deb = true
local del = 0.1
local curDec = nil
local currentPos = {["X"]= 0, ["Y"] = 0, ["Z"] = 0}

function sendRaycast(blacklist)
	local raypar = RaycastParams.new()
	raypar.FilterDescendantsInstances = blacklist
	raypar.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist

	local Origin = mouse.UnitRay.Origin
	local direction = mouse.UnitRay.Direction * 1000

	local raycast = workspace:Raycast(Origin, direction, raypar)

	return raycast
end

function initDecoy()
	local dec = tower:Clone()
	dec.PrimaryPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
	--local rc = sendRaycast({dec})
	--if rc then
	dec.Parent = workspace
	print("Success!")
	--dec:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(rc.Position))
	return dec
end

for i, v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("TextButton") then
		v.Activated:Connect(function()
			tower = v.Tower.Value
			curDec = initDecoy()
			isPlacing = true
		end)
	end
end

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if curDec == nil or isPlacing == false then return end
	local rc = sendRaycast({curDec, player.Character, game.Players:GetChildren(), workspace.Enemies:GetChildren()})
	if rc then
		local size = curDec:GetExtentsSize()
		local position = CFrame.new(rc.Position+Vector3.new(0,size.y/2, 0))
		
		curDec:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(position)
		
		currentPos.X = curDec.PrimaryPart.Position.X
		currentPos.Y = curDec.PrimaryPart.Position.Y
		currentPos.Z = curDec.PrimaryPart.Position.Z
	end
end)

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(x)
	if curDec == nil or isPlacing == false then return end
	if x.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
		--curDec.PrimaryPart.CFrame = curDec.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi/4, 0)
		curDec:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(curDec.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0))
	end	
	if x.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		curDec:Destroy()
		curDec = nil
		tower = nil
		isPlacing = false
	end
	if x.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if deb == true then 
			deb = false
			local ray = sendRaycast({curDec, player.Character, game.Players:GetChildren(), workspace.Enemies:GetChildren()})
			if ray then
				local t2 = curDec:Clone()
				t2.Name = "TestTower"
				t2.Parent = game.Workspace
				local calculatedPosition = CFrame.new(currentPos.X, currentPos.Y, currentPos.Z)
				t2:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(calculatedPosition)
				if uis:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.H) then
					t2.PrimaryPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")
				else
					curDec:Destroy()
					curDec = nil
					tower = nil
					t2.PrimaryPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")
					isPlacing = false
				end
				
			end
			task.wait(del)
			deb = true
		end
	end
end)

specifically, on line 62 - 65

if x.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
		--curDec.PrimaryPart.CFrame = curDec.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi/4, 0)
		curDec:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(curDec.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0))
	end

if you need more info, please ask in the comments.

Thanks.

You might want to try changing the object’s Rotation property directly:

curDec.RootPart.Orientation += Vector3.new(0,90,0)
#3

Would need to be the “Orientation” property for BasePart instances. This is also a model not a BasePart.

#4

Oops! Oh yeah, I’m very sorry about that mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.
As a model, the RootPart’s Orientation could be changed.

#5 
curDec:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(curDec.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0))

This should rotate the model 90 degrees along the Y axis, is it working as expected?

#6

Sorry, i was sleeping, i wll now try your solution.

#7

Nope, did not work.

Just unionize all the parts in the model, and use @bitsNbytez solution. That would probably be the easiest solution.

#9

i cant, i’m going to put an entire humanoid inside of the model, i cant unionize a humanoid.

#10 
curDec:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(curDec:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()*CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, 90, 0))

i tried it, it still doesnt work.

#12

Errors?

Summary

This text will be hidden

#13

the strange part is, that there is no error, it just doesnt rotate, the Q (destroy) and mouse button (place) functions seem to be working fine, just not the rotate function.

#14

Try adding a print below the rotate part.

#15

I’ve even tried that, it printed, but did not rotate.

#16

So everything looks fine with it, try using it IN an actual game instance, instead of play testing it if you can, or if you haven’t yet.

#17

Okay, i will try it.

I didn’t change the code by the way, I was just copying the line from your script.

i tried it, it did not work.

So either your script is broken, which is highly unlikely, or Roblox is broken.
