Can someonel help me with CFraming door rotations?

Asked 274 views1 answers

I have been trying to make my own CFrame swing doors lately, and I've been running into some problems, like the door swings open, but it doesn't swing back in the right way, is there a way to calculate the correct numbers and angles to put into the CFrames? If not, can you at least answer with some tips on how to make the CFrames work right? Here's what I've got:

local Door = script.Parent
local DoorFrame = Door.Parent
local CD1 = Door.CD
--I am still not sure about the numbers in here, the dimensions of the door are (4, 6, 0.4)
function Open1()
	if Door.InUse.Value then
		Door.InUse.Value = true
		for i = 1, 18 do
			Door.CFrame = Door.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 0.21) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, 0.1, 0)
			wait(0.01)
		end
		wait(1.5)
		for i = 1, 18 do
			Door.CFrame = Door.CFrame * CFrame.new(0.002, 0, -0.22) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, -0.1, 0)
			wait(0.01)
		end
		Door.InUse.Value = false
	end
end

Here's how you rotate a part around a point (or in your case, a door).

part.CFrame = origin*rotation*(origin:inverse()*part.CFrame)

origin is the point (CFrame, not Vector3) you're rotating around, and rotation is the CFrame you're rotating by.

Added to your code, it will look like this:

local Door = script.Parent

local origin = CFrame.new(Door.Position - Vector3.new(Door.Size.X/2,0,0))
--You're probably going to need to fix the origin yourself

local DoorFrame = Door.Parent
local CD1 = Door.CD
function Open1()
	if not Door.InUse.Value then
		Door.InUse.Value = true
		for i = 1, 18 do
			Door.CFrame = origin * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90/18),0) * (origin:inverse()*Door.CFrame)
			wait(0.01)
		end
		wait(1.5) 
		for i = 1, 18 do
			Door.CFrame = origin * CFrame.Angles(0,-math.rad(90/18),0) * (origin:inverse()*Door.CFrame)
			wait(0.01)
		end
		Door.InUse.Value = false
	end
end

Thanks, also, I recently joined the SH group and posted a question on the wall... but your answer will really help me with my future doors, Thanks!
