How do I make two parts slide like on a forklift?
I'm working on a game and I've run into a problem scripting the motion of the forks of a forklift. I've got the model done, but no matter what I try in my script using CFrame and other API calls, I cannot change the position of the forks relative to the beam that holds them. If I break the joint between the forks and the beam, then I can move them, but then of course they don't work as a fork lift.
Here is the script I've tried most recently:
-- ************************************************************************************
-- LiftTruckOperControlEven.OnServerEvent handler
-- In this function we will process the received events from the EventServer, fired by
-- key press events handled by the Local Script. This function must
-- * parse the sending player
-- * parse the event "type" sent in arg1
-- * Confirm the player has a vehicle created of the correct type
-- * Confirm the player is the occupant of the vehicle with their name on it
game.Workspace.LiftTruckOperControlEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, arg1)
-- define the function that will be called when the event is fired
01 | if (player ~= nil) then |
02 | local vehicleName = player.Name.."ContainerLiftTruck" |
03 | if ( game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(vehicleName) and |
04 | (player.VehicleTag.Value == "ContainerLiftTruck") ) then |
05 | local playersTruck = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(vehicleName) |
06 | local truckNetworkOwner = playersTruck.VehicleSeat:GetNetworkOwner() |
08 | if (truckNetworkOwner.Name == player.Name) then |
10 | if (arg1 == "up") then |
11 | print (vehicleName.." Going Up!") |
12 | local startingCFrame = playersTruck.GrabberAssembly:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() |
13 | local newCFrame = startingCFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0) |
14 | print("Start: ",startingCFrame) |
15 | print("New: ", newCFrame) |
19 | print(playersTruck.GrabberAssembly:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()) |
21 | elseif (arg1 == "down") then |
22 | print (vehicleName.." Going Down!") |
24 | print (vehicleName.." Arg1 not what I expected") |
31 | print ("No Vehicle Found by that name") |
end)
In order for the new CFRAME to take effect, do I need to break the joint between the grabber assembly and the beam, then remake it after its done moving?
If anyone can help me with this scripting issue I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
