Tweening in a circular motion

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have wanted to know, whether its possible to tween circular motions, which can be used for tweening parts or potentially camera movement?

I have researched multiple things, but nothing seems to come up.

By circular motions do you mean moving a part in a circle or rotating a part about an axis? Could you possibly give more info on what exactly you are trying to tween and how?

#3

part in a circle, like say u want something to orbit around something, but u use tweening, is it possible?

You can use sine and cosine:

local Earth = workspace.Earth
local Radius = 10 -- The size of the circle
local Origin = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0) -- Our center point

--[=[
	Add this function just incase a Tween.Completed already fired
	which would lead the for loop to keep waiting.
]=]
local function WaitForTween(Tween)
	if Tween.PlaybackState == Enum.PlaybackState.Playing then
		Tween.Completed:Wait()
	end
end

local function UpdatePosition(Part, Position, Speed)
	local Tween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo.new(Speed), {Position = Position})
	
	Tween:Play()
	WaitForTween(Tween)
end

--[=[
	Main part of the Script
	which handles the orbit
]=]
while true do
	for Degrees = 1, 360 do
		local Radians = math.rad(Degrees)
		local X = Radius * math.cos(Radians)
		local Y = Radius * math.sin(Radians)

		UpdatePosition(Earth, Vector3.new(X, 0, Y) + Origin, 0.2)
	end
end
