Tween While Object Is Spinning

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I am currently working on a game with a turntable that moves up and down. I’d like to make it so the turntable still spins while it is ascending/descending. The issue is however, the turntable stops spinning while it’s moving up. I’m unsure how to fix it.

So far, I’ve tried to tween the object to another part that is welded to the turntable so it follows the position of the part, but that didn’t work.

Tween Script:

local ti = TweenInfo.new(6,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
ts:Create(game.workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel.Turntable.TableModel.root,ti,{CFrame=game.workspace.P1.CFrame}):Play()

Turn Script:

local turnTables = {
	workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel,
	workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel2,
	workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel3,
}
local spinning = false
if not spinning then
	spinning = true

	game.workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel.Turntable.Config.Speed.Value = 1 --speed of outer (make negative to change direction)
	game.workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel2.Turntable.Config.Speed.Value = 1 --speed of middle
	game.workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel3.Turntable.Config.Speed.Value = 1 -- speed of inner

	spinning = false
end

Try rotating the part with some runservice event like postsimulation that fires after the physics simulation

game.RunService.PostSimulation:Connect(function())
  --rotate part
end)
#3 
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local turnTables = {
	workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel,
	workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel2,
	workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel3,
}

local function startSpinning()
	for _, turntableModel in ipairs(turnTables) do
		local speed = turntableModel.Turntable.Config.Speed.Value
		RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
			local currentCFrame = turntableModel.Turntable.TableModel.root.CFrame
			turntableModel.Turntable.TableModel.root.CFrame = currentCFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(speed * deltaTime), 0)
		end)
	end
end

startSpinning()

local ti = TweenInfo.new(6, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local targetPosition = game.workspace.P1.Position
local tween = ts:Create(game.workspace.TurnTables.TurntableModel.Turntable.TableModel.root, ti, {Position = targetPosition})

tween:Play()

This isn’t working, do I need to change anything in it?

You could either try coroutine in some way or you can try pausing the tween in some way using tween:Pause()

#6

You can repeatedly tween the object to make it spin when it is not moving up nor down, and then when you have to tween it up or down, have another tween to make it does both the spinning and moving.

The script could be something like this:

local function Spinning()
	local goal = {CFrame = Part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(999),0,0)}
	local tween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo.new(3), goal)

    tween:Play()
    task.wait(1)
	Spinning() --Repeat the spinning tween
end

Spinning()

SomethingToTrigger:Connect(function()
    local goal = {
		Position = Vector3.new(-1.2, 19.56, -26.3);
		CFrame = Part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(999),0,0)
	}
	local tween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo.new(3), goal)

	tween:Play()
	tween.Completed:Wait()
end)

Notes: Use Motor6D to connect between parts and the part you need to move.
