Adding to X value of Orientation doesn't work with script?

Hello, My script is simple, to serve as a alteritive to rotation scripts, however, it doesn't work. My script: part = script.Parent

while true do
wait(0.1) 
part.Orientation.X = Vector3.new(part.Orientation.X + 0.1)
end

I don't understand why my script is not working properly and intended.

Help is appriciated.

Thanks,

You should be using CFrame instead of Vector3 for this as they are intended for rotating parts. If you delete the part.Orientation.X line and replace it with part.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,0.1,0) it will work. Alexander_Ashford 231 — 5y

Your script isn't working since it has these fundamental flaws: - Setting BasePart.Orientation.X does not change the orientation of the part itself. BasePart.Orientation.X is just the X property of the Vector3 returned. - Since BasePart.Orientation is a Vector3, you must provide all three arguments in it's constructor as such: Vector3.new(x, y, z)

To fix this, you can add a Vector3 to the orientation !Adding Vector3s and use the X property of the same !X property of Vector3s

Finally to write the script, this should do whatever you're trying to achieve:

Script using orientation: lua while true do wait(0.1) part.Orientation = part.Orientation + Vector3.new(0.1, 0, 0) end

<br> Also, as commented on your post and mentioned by the wiki,

For better control over the rotation of a part, it is recommended that BasePart.CFrame is set instead

Script using CFrames: lua while true do wait(0.1) part.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0.1), 0, 0) end

Please comment if you have questions or I have made a mistake
