I Like Trains... Can you help me with my train?

Asked 256 views1 answers

Hey guys, Happy Friday!

I might figure this out tonight, but if anyone could help point me in the right direction, that'd be nice cause Im kinda lost.

I'm making a script on moving this train, but the train is very slow so I want to increase the speed, Rotate the train to return, and change the direction of the vehicle.

I imagine it will take a lot of looping, but Im unsure on how to get loops to run efficiently so I started here:

parts=script.parent.Train:GetChildren()

while true do
wait()
for i=1,#parts do
	parts[i].CFrame=CFrame.new(0,0,.1)*parts[i].CFrame
end
end

I suppose I could have two extra scripts, one for the return CFraming, the other to rotate the vehicle after a certain period of time and toggle disable/enable the other two scripts ...

Just doesn't seem like that'd help my game flow at optimal levels.

Any input is appreciated, Take it easy guys!

Because you're looping it using the for loop, it's moving each part 1 by one.

I recommend that you set the primary part's CFrame using

train = script.Parent.Train

Go on the ROBLOX wiki and search the topic of setting primary part CFrame because I think I may have used the inbuilt function incorrectly, but this should move the train all at once if you do it correctly.

train:SetPrimaryPartCFrame() = CFrame.new(0,0,0)

Oh thanks, I will try that! I always have a problem setting the primary part.. it tends to throw errors at me. May also use repeat/until loop
