CFrame.Angles not working for tween service. Any solutions?

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool.Handle
local debounce = false

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    if not debounce then
        local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

        local body = plr.Character:GetDescendants()

            debounce = true
            plr.Character.Shirt:Destroy()
            plr.Character.Pants:Destroy()

            for _,v in pairs(body) do
                if v:IsA("BasePart") then
                    v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Gold")
                    v.Material = "Ice"
                end
                if v.Name == "Head" then
                    v.Mesh:Destroy()
                end

                if v:IsA("Accessory") then
                    v:Destroy()
                end
            end
        end

    wait(1)

    local bp = Instance.new("BodyPosition")
    bp.Parent = handle
    handle.Parent = game.Workspace
    bp.Position = Vector3.new(handle.Position.X,handle.Position.Y + 50,handle.Position.Z)

    local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")

    local info = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.In,0,true)

    local goal = {}

    goal.CFrame = goal.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(1),math.rad(1),math.rad(1))

    local tween = ts:Create(handle,info,goal)

    tween:Play()

    wait(5)

    handle:Destroy()
    print("yes")
end)

Here is my full code, the part that is spitting out an error is


    local goal = {}

    goal.CFrame = goal.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(1),math.rad(1),math.rad(1))

Either I didn't learn tweenservice right, cause tables can't have a CFrame value, or I'll need to use a different way to do this.

The error you should be getting must be CFrame expected, got nil.

On the line: goal.CFrame = goal.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(1),math.rad(1),math.rad(1))

You try manipulating the Angles to a CFrame that doesn't exist. Either replace goal.CFrame with a new CFrame.new() or use the CFrame of handle. The latter is what I assume to be what you're looking for.

local goal = {}
goal.CFrame = handle.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(1),math.rad(1),math.rad(1))

Take note that the above doesn't really affect the angle of handle much.

Let me know if you need something explained or if I missed anything.

Edit:

You could also use the Completed event of the Tween instance you play so you could destroy it. Better than using a wait()

So at the bottom of the code:

local goal = {}

goal.CFrame = handle.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(1),math.rad(1),math.rad(1))

local tween = ts:Create(handle,info,goal)

tween:Play()
tween.Completed:Wait()

handle:Destroy() -->This is questionable though. Why not destroy tool?

print("yes")

Thanks! Btw, I plan on destroying both the tool and the handle, because the handles parent is set to Workspace. nickkim123 4 — 5y

The idea of providing a table to a TweenService is that you can tween multiple values (CFrame, Color, Size, Transparency...) at the same time. So you are expected to provide a table of goal values, even if it is only one value you are tweening.

Replace :

local goal = {}

goal.CFrame = goal.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(1),math.rad(1),math.rad(1))

With:

local goal = {CFrame = handle.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(1),math.rad(1),math.rad(1))}

As XPolarium explained, you would not probably notice such small angles anyway...
