How to detect which side of a cube is up?
ive already tried a code from devforum, but it doesnt work, so how do i detect what side of a cube is up?
the code btw:
function findSide(part)
local cf=part.CFrame
local cs={side=nil,y=-2}
if cf.lookVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="FrontSurface" cs.y=cf.lookVector.Y end
if -cf.lookVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="BackSurface" cs.y=-cf.lookVector.Y end
if cf.rightVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="RightSurface" cs.y=cf.rightVector.Y end
if -cf.rightVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="LeftSurface" cs.y=-cf.rightVector.Y end
if cf.upVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="TopSurface" cs.y=cf.upVector.Y end
if -cf.upVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="BottomSurface" cs.y=-cf.upVector.Y end
return script.Parent.numdisplay.TextLabel.Text
end
Im trying to change a textlabels text to the side that the cube is on, but nothing is changing.

function findSide(part)
local cf=part.CFrame
local cs={side=nil,y=-2}
if cf.lookVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="1" cs.y=cf.lookVector.Y end --FrontSurface
if -cf.lookVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="2" cs.y=-cf.lookVector.Y end --BackSurface
if cf.rightVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="3" cs.y=cf.rightVector.Y end --RightSurface
if -cf.rightVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="4" cs.y=-cf.rightVector.Y end --LeftSurface
if cf.upVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="5" cs.y=cf.upVector.Y end --TopSurface
if -cf.upVector.Y>cs.y then cs.side="6" cs.y=-cf.upVector.Y end --BottomSurface
return cs.side --Return the function as the side number
end
while wait() do
script.Parent.numdisplay.TextLabel.Text = findSide(script.Parent) --Since you returned cs.side, "findSide" is now a string and you can use it for the text label
end
This should work. It wasn't working because you were returning the text of the textlabel and not doing anything about it.

ok cool, is there a way to make it change if the side of the cube changes? also, is there a way to number the surfaces and display the number? Jakob_Cashy 79 — 3y

Make it change what exactly ? And yes there is a way to number the surfaces. Cirillix 110 — 3y

so if i move the cube and then the right surface is up, it should say rightsurface Jakob_Cashy 79 — 3y
