Weld Constraint Weird Behavior

Help and Feedback Building Support
#1

(I don’t know whether to put this in building support or scripting support)

I am trying to make this cylinder rotate with the neon rectangle welded to it. I am using a weld constraint to attach these two together.

The rectangle is not anchored but the cylinder is. Here is a video of the weird behavior


I tried anchoring the rectangle, but the rectangle doesn’t move anymore.

If it helps, this is the script used to rotate the cylinder.

    while true do
        script.Parent.RotVelocity = Vector3.new(0,3,0)
        script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(3,0,0)
        wait(0.1)
     end

Thanks :smiley:

CFrame from Euler angles accepts angles in radians and not degrees, use math.rad(3) to convert to radians. Also use RunService .heartbeat:wait() with delta time for best results like in the CFrame math operations article as it is usually faster than wait() hence more smoother.

Edit: seems like more of a scripting problem, it’s just the CFraming that’s weird.

#3

Yeah, that indeed makes the rectangle move with the cylinder. But is it possible to make the rectangle rotate with the rotvelocity, not the CFrame? I tried removing the weldConstraint, the rectangle now moves with the rotVelocity, but the player can push the rectangle around, which I don’t want.
