Moving Model with SetPrimaryCFrame?

Asked 180 views1 answers

So I am moving a model left + right with setprimarypartcframe, but how would I move it back to where it started?

How I'm moving it:

local function _left()
	for i = 0,1,.001 do  
		goalie:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(goalie:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() * CFrame.new(-i,0,0))
		wait()
		if (goalie.Stick.Position - bound.Boundary2.Position).magnitude <= x then
			return
		end
	end
end

local function _right()
    for i = 0,1,.001 do   
        goalie:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(goalie:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() * CFrame.new(i,0,0))
        wait()
		if (goalie.Stick.Position - bound.Boundary3.Position).magnitude <= x then
			return
		end
    end
end

You should record somewhere the initial/default position, then set the CFrame to that position.

It seems you are using a loop and wait() to show a sort of animation, and I'd highly recommend using TweenService which is much simpler in my opinion. If you do use TweenService, all you need to keep track of is the final positions and it will automatically animate the object to that position.

Continuing with your method however, you can create a function _returnToDefaultPosition() that would use a while loop rather than a for loop, and moves the model a little bit every loop until you reach your default position.
