How to use CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ?

Asked 1,491 views1 answers

So I made a car, but i'm trying to steer it in a direction. When I tried it, it sent the car straight into the middle of the map. Can you help? anyways here is part of the code. (no stealing ^^)

if key == "a" and vehicleseat.Occupant == player.Character.Humanoid then
	local l1 = workspace.Car:WaitForChild("Left1")
	canOff = true
	repeat
		l1.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(workspace.Car.PrimaryPart.Position.X,workspace.Car.PrimaryPart.Position.Y + 0.5,workspace.Car.PrimaryPart.Position.Z)
		r1.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(workspace.Car.PrimaryPart.Position.X,workspace.Car.PrimaryPart.Position.Y + 0.5,workspace.Car.PrimaryPart.Position.Z)
		wait(0.01)
	until canOff ==  false or vehicleseat.Occupant == nil
end

CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ creates a new CFrame with no positional components, only rotational. This is why your car goes to the middle of the map, since you're setting the part CFrame to a CFrame with no positional components, the position of your parts go to the coordinates (0, 0, 0) which is at the center of the map.

Moreover, you're using CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ incorrectly. CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ takes in 3 arguments which are the angles in radians that you want the part to rotate in.

Here's an example of correct usage:

part.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, math.rad(10), 0)

This will rotate part in the y axis by 10 degrees
