Why does my my part extend from both sides?
So, I'm creating a Kamehameha wave, and when the beam is triggered to fire, both sides of the part expand. How do I fix this?
01 | script.Parent.Charge:Play() |
02 | for i = 0.57, 2.16, 0.03 do |
03 | script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(i,i,i) |
04 | wait(0.1) |
05 | end |
06 | beam = Instance.new("Part", script.Parent.Parent) |
07 | beam.Name = "Beam" |
08 | beam.Material = "Neon" |
09 | beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(9,137,207) |
10 | beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.99,1.77,2) |
11 | beam.Shape = "Cylinder" |
12 | beam.Anchored = true |
13 | beam.Position = script.Parent.Position + Vector3.new(-0.825, 0.040, 0.022) |
14 | script.Parent.Fire:Play() |
15 | for i = 0.24, 18.5, 1.2 do |
16 | beam.Size = Vector3.new(i,1.77,2) |
17 | wait(0.05) |
18 | end |

the part's position marks the center of the part, meaning if you were to change its size on, lets say a positive X axis, both sides would extend half the specified amount. to fix this, counteract it by moving forwards by half the amount you extended it
01 | --set up the part |
02 | local brick = Instance.new("Part", workspace) |
03 | brick.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,25,0) |
04 | brick.Anchored = true |
05 |
06 | --ACTION |
07 |
08 | for i=0,100,1 do |
09 | wait() |
10 | brick.Size = Vector3.new(i,1,1) |
11 | brick.CFrame = CFrame.new(i/2,25,0) |
12 | end |

this would only extend one side correct? supercoolboy8804 114 — 7y

technically, both side are extending, you are just moving it to contract it and to simulate a different anchor point, so yes fanofpixels 718 — 7y
