Weld CFraming Help

#1

Hi everyone!
I’m currently working on a vr game. Because of that, I added attributes to every item you can pick up. I have two attributes: WeldRotation and WeldOffset, both of which are Vector3s. I’ve been making games for three years but I still got stuck on this part :rofl: : since you can’t the position and orientation of a weld’s C1 and C0 directly, how would I go about setting the orientation and offset? Here’s what I currently have, which doesn’t get the position or orientation correct:

-- orientation is the item's WeldRotation attribute
Main.C1 = CFrame.Angles(rad(orientation.X), rad(orientation.Y), rad(orientation.Z))*CFrame.new(item:GetAttribute("WeldOffset"))
-- the orientation part works fine by itself but the weldoffset messes it up

Any help would be appreciated!

#2

Maybe try switching the order of the CFrames? (Weld offset goes first, angle second)

#3

I don’t that that’ll do anything because the commutative property should still apply here where offset * rotation = rotation * offset

#4

Well Motor6Ds are an offset value… this means that they are in local space; you’ll have to convert whatever this orientation variable you have into local space/object space and then apply the angles

#5

I’ve already got that. I just need help applying it to the Motor6D because you can’t set those directly.
