Trying to rotate parts with In pairs loop

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Continuing the discussion from Trying to rotate parts with In pairs loop:

I received answers but none of them helped and so far I haven’t received any new ones and still so far I am not able to solve the problem.

The theory I made is correct, the script works but the problem is that it is causing a lot of lag and is taking time to spin up.

Script (located in a Click Detector):

local alarms = {}
for i,v in pairs(workspace.AlarmS1:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA('PointLight') or v:IsA('SurfaceLight') or v:IsA('SpotLight') then
		table.insert(alarms,v)
	end
end

for i,v in pairs(alarms) do
	Bool.Changed:Connect(function()
		if Bool.Value == true then
			while true do
				wait(2)
				print("Yes")
				v.Parent.Orientation = v.Parent.Orientation + Vector3.new(1, 0, 0)
			end
		end
	end)
end

Problem here could be that you are putting a while loop inside an event for every alarm there is. You should change up the order like this

Bool.Changed:Connect(function()
	while Bool.Value do
		task.wait(2)
		for i, v in pairs(alarms) do
			    print("Yes")
		        v.Parent.Orientation  =+ Vector3.new(1, 0, 0)
		end
	end
end)

slight mistake on your snippet, =+ is not a valid operator; Did you mean +=?

#4

Its still lagging, maybe be cause there so many alarms and thats causing the lag?

#5

I’m assuming that the prints are the ones making the lag

#6

Never though that prints can make lag, I will remove them and test then

#7

You are rotating them every 2 seconds, so i believe that is what you might confuse for lag? Instead of while loop you could use tweenservice to make it work:

local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")

local info = TweenInfo.new(
	1,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
	Enum.EasingDirection.In,
	-1
)

for i,v in pairs(alarms) do
	Bool.Changed:Connect(function()
		if Bool.Value == true then
			tweenservice:Create(v.Parent,info,{CFrame = v.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(180))}):Play()
		end
	end)
end

It lags because every 2 seconds, the code simultaneously printing “Yes” on every iteration

#9

It got better, however seems that still taking some time to rotate complety.

#10

You might want to consider using tween service like @realmile suggested.

#11

Well, now the alarms are in the roof for any reason.

Actualy, I think I know what hapenning

#13

try changing this part, i believe this should work:

CFrame.Angles(math.rad(180),0,0)

Isnt lagging anymore however they are not spinning complety, maybe if I change it to 360, may resolve the problem?

nvm, changed it to 360 and they arent moving now, gonna put 180 again

#15

I believe 180 should be the best number to make it rotate fully, 360 wouldnt rotate it at all since its a full rotation.

They decide go back up and then down.

#17

Nvm, I tested again and worked fine.

#18

It could have something to do if your script is on the server, you should be handling that on the client, so you dont stress out the server too much.

#19

Well, anyways. Thanks you for your help.

local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")

local info = TweenInfo.new(
	1,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
	Enum.EasingDirection.In,
	-1
)

local alarms = {}
for i,v in pairs(workspace.AlarmS1:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA('Light') then
		table.insert(alarms,v)
	end
end

Bool.Changed:Connect(function(v)
	if v then
		for i,v in pairs(alarms) do
			task.spawn(function()
				local tween = tweenservice:Create(v.Parent,info,{CFrame = v.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(359),0,0)})
				tween:Play()
				tween.Completed:Wait()
				v.Parent.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0,0,0)
			end)
		end
	end
