Spin all spinners

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

hey,

i want to make an obby game with spinners so I have this script.

this script only works with one spinner however because of the while loop.

how do I get past this and make it work with all the spinners while still having one local script (so its client sided) that can handle all of them? thanks

for _, v in ipairs(workspace:WaitForChild("Spinners"):GetChildren()) do
	if v.Name == "Spinner" and v:IsA("Model") then
		print("Found a spinner!")
		while task.wait() do
			v.Part.Orientation += Vector3.new(0, v.Settings:GetAttribute("Speed"), 0)
		end
	end
end

Maybe switch to a Motor 6D instead of using code.

If you really want to use code, from past experience I would use collectionservice.

but I would do what oof said

thanks, but i don’t even know how to use Motor6D’s, it is very complicated to me.

is there any other way? i also want to have customizable speed

You could wrap the while task.wait() do in a coroutine.

It might work:

local SpinCoroutine = coroutine.wrap(function()
	while task.wait() do
		v.Part.Orientation += Vector3.new(0, v.Settings:GetAttribute("Speed"), 0)
	end
end)

for _, v in ipairs(workspace:WaitForChild("Spinners"):GetChildren()) do
	if v.Name == "Spinner" and v:IsA("Model") then
		print("Found a spinner!")
		SpinCoroutine()
	end
end

But this could be a lot of wasted code execution. Motor 6D would be better.

Nope still only one works

Here is a spinner using a HingeConstraint:

Spinner.rbxl (56.5 KB)

You can adjust the speed by changing the AngularVelocity in the Properties window (or through code).

Another option might be to clone a script into each spinner.

If they had to clone the script, then it’d be better to just make use of CollectionService.

It seems like a like of wasted computing power to run a while loop for a bunch of spinners.

#10

With collection service you can give all your spinners a tag and your local script can make all spinners with the tag work with just one local script. This is the best way to do this.

actually fixed it myself by spawning in a function and using the while loop in there

I don’t think loops make the game lag that much. (I may be wrong)
