Terrain Generation CFraming Issue?
Hello there, I have been having an issue trying to figure out how to actually create some sort of triangular terrain through terrain generation. I am currently using wedges as the example brick to generate the rows.
Here is the code:
function MakeTriangularTerrain(dummyPart, row, column, parent)
local triangleStartPos = dummyPart.CFrame;
local currentRow = 1;
local currentCol = 1;
for Row = currentRow, row do
wait();
local triangleWedge = dummyPart:Clone();
triangleWedge.Parent = parent;
triangleWedge.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red");
triangleWedge.CanCollide = false;
local rowTriangle = triangleWedge;
local rowSize = rowTriangle.Size;
local currentCFrame = triangleWedge.CFrame;
--rowTriangle.CFrame = currentCFrame;
rowTriangle.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 90, -90);
if Row%2 == 0 then
rowTriangle.CFrame = currentCFrame * CFrame.new(0, (rowSize.Y * Row)/2, 0);
rowTriangle.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green");
rowTriangle.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, -90, -90);
end
currentCFrame = rowTriangle.CFrame;
end
end
MakeTriangularTerrain(workspace.TestTriangle, 3, 1, workspace);
Basically, my issue is after spawning the green wedge part it actually does spawn the rotated red one but doesn't move it to the next position, I am currently not seeing how to reset the position and set the new position so it actually does as shown:
Any help to enlighten this a bit more is apreciated!

I believe what you did is forget to add an actual function for the red triangles to be positioned. In studio I tested this script out and came up with this (it has manual mathematics, I didn't generate the positions or anything, so you might want to change that):
function MakeTriangularTerrain(dummyPart, row, column, parent)
local triangleStartPos = dummyPart.CFrame
local currentRow = 1
local currentCol = 1
for Row = currentRow, row do
wait()
local triangleWedge = dummyPart:Clone()
triangleWedge.Parent = parent
triangleWedge.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
triangleWedge.CanCollide = false
local rowTriangle = triangleWedge
local rowSize = rowTriangle.Size
local currentCFrame = triangleWedge.CFrame
--rowTriangle.CFrame = currentCFrame;
rowTriangle.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 90, -90)
if Row%2 == 0 then
rowTriangle.CFrame = currentCFrame * CFrame.new(0, (rowSize.Y * Row)/2, 0)
rowTriangle.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
rowTriangle.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, -90, -90)
else
triangleWedge.CFrame = currentCFrame * CFrame.new(0, ((rowSize.Y * Row)/2)-1.4, 0)
triangleWedge.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 90, -90)
end
currentCFrame = rowTriangle.CFrame
end
end
MakeTriangularTerrain(workspace.TestTriangle, 30, 1, workspace)
The part where you put "Row%2 == 0" means that it divides the row by 2 and if the remainder (which will only be either 1 or 0 because it's even/odd integers) only moves when it reaches 0, which is every even number (For example: 1 is the placekeeper but when it gets to 2 it's positioned, then 3 it skips because it's odd, then it goes to 4 and so on...)
Hope this helps! (My first post so I sure hope so lol)
