Why doesn't this follow the PrimaryPart?

I made a script that moves a model when you move with W,A,S,D,Q,E,C,R,B so its like flying. The parts ARE going with the PrimaryPart when it moves but when I rotate the part it doesn’t follow, aswell as when I press B it doesn’t follow since B is supposed to bring you back to the ground.

This is what it looks like when I try to rotate it or press B, the thing thats lower is the Primary Part.

As stated it will follow it when I use W,S,E,Q which brings it forward, backward, up, down but if I rotate or press B it doesn’t.

Notes: Every part is welded appropriately, the PrimaryPart is assigned, the only thing anchored is the PrimaryPart and I have a seperate model which works exactly the same and rotates correctly, this one just doesn’t for some reason.

try use Model:PivotTo(newCFrame) instead

3

is this doing Model.PrimaryPart:PivotTo(newCFrame) or Model:PivotTo(newCFrame)?

Model:PivotTo() is correct. It moves everything in the model

I tried it and it did rotate it but it also looked like it was in orbit Untitled - Clipped with Medal.tv

Edit: I forgot to put my code:

ship.Parent:PivotTo(ship.CFrame.Rotation * CFrame.fromOrientation(0,math.rad(70),0))

the ship is marked as a primarypart, not the model so ship.parent is the model

6

Try model:PivotTo(model.PrimaryPart.CFrame*CFrame.Angles(0,[put angle to rotate by in radians],0))

I’m pretty sure I put it in right

	ship.Parent:PivotTo(ship.CFrame*CFrame.Angles(0,10,0))

The link broke but it is doing the same thing as before

I think the problem is with the pivot offset in the model, try ungrouping and re-grouping the model and test it again

that kind of worked! The only problem now is that it makes me slightly up everytime i do it.

Use ship.Parent:GetPivot() instead of ship.CFrame.

btw 10 radians is very large, if you want to rotate by 10 degrees do math.rad(10)

get the pivot of the model instead of the CFrame of the PrimaryPart

ship.Parent:PivotTo(ship.Parent:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(15),0))

That worked! Althought I had done something different by switching constraints from a Weld to a Hinge, your solution still worked so I’ll mark yours as the solution.
