Tweening in a circle

[0k_Jackk (Jack)]

Hello, I am aboslutley horrible with animating things so I was hoping I could use TweenService instead, I’m trying to make a model ‘orbit’ my map using tweenservice.

Like this:

I know I can easily tween it across but Im hoping around is possible.

Any help is very apricated!

[Dimon9lul (Dimon)]

I think I know a good solution!

You know when creating a tween you have to define the tween info.
In this tween info there is a point called Enum.EasingStyle.

Try out different easing styles I am pretty sure you will find a good one!

[0k_Jackk (Jack)]

I thought Enum.EasingStyle didnt affect the path just the way it moved along the path.

[Dimon9lul (Dimon)]

I found it!!
The perfect easingstyle you should choose is circular!!!
Did it work??

[remcodesremcodes (Yix)]

EasingStyles DO NOT AFFECT THE PATH.
EasingStyles only affect how the object moves.

Circular is an easing style that makes the tween move slower as it approaches the target.

[Dimon9lul (Dimon)]

Oh you right,
I guess we should make it differently…

I guess you could try to create a small part combine the part that’s supposed to circulate with the small part, which should be in the middle of the map, in a model.

Change the model’s piviot and roate it so it will perfectly circulate.
I am not quite sure if this is the best solution tho…

Why code it at all, just attach it to the map with a Motor6D or a Hinge + long invisible part and set it in motion (motor mode on hinge, or just huge TargetAngle on Motor6D). You’d use a Motor6D for something that is not collidable, purely a graphics effect, or a hinge if it’s something that needs to collide with players or objects physically.

What you can do is add a part at the centre of the orbit, rotate it forever and weld it to a part on the outer part of the platform.

local rotatingPart = pathtopart

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    rotatingPart.CFrame.Orientation = Vector3.new(rotatingPart.CFrame.Orientation.X + 0.01, rotatingPart.CFrame.Orientation.Y, rotatingPart.CFrame.Orientation.Z)
end)

That sounds like a great idea, I’ll that a try now.

[0k_Jackk (Jack)]

I tried it and got this error, I probably messed something up my bad.

[Dimon9lul (Dimon)]

This is a fast rotation, but with the number you can set it up!

local Model = workspace.Model
game["Run Service"].Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	Model:PivotTo(Model:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0,1,0))
end)

Good luck!!

Or a simpler solution you could do is:

local object = script.Parent —— or workspace:WaitForChild(“blah blah blah”)

local function spinPart(part)
       while task.wait() do
               part.CFrame *= CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0,math.rad(5), 0)
               if part == nil then
               break
               end
        end
end

spinPart(object)

You’re probably gonna have to mess around with the math.rad() (radians) number, and put it in the x, y or z area to see which area is used to spin the object.

[0k_Jackk (Jack)]

Thanks, I got that to work by putting the part I want rotating in a model with a part on the opposite side of the map.

If you still want to use Tweening, here’s a way to do it:

local Spin1 = TweenService:Create(script.Parent, spininfo, {CFrame = script.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(120), 0, 0)})
local Spin2 = TweenService:Create(script.Parent, spininfo, {CFrame = script.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(240), 0, 0)})
local Spin3 = TweenService:Create(script.Parent, spininfo, {CFrame = script.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(360), 0, 0)})

Spin1:Play()

Spin1.Completed:Connect(function()
	Spin2:Play()
end)

Spin2.Completed:Connect(function()
	Spin3:Play()
end)

Spin3.Completed:Connect(function()
	Spin1:Play()
end)

You might need to change the math.rad(120) on the X-axis to another axis, it depends on your part/model and what you want to do exactly.
