I'm building a set of sliding doors that use TweenService when I press a button to trigger them. There are two positions (opened and closed) that are represented using four invisible, massless and non-CanCollide bricks, which are identical to the real doors. (Door1Closed, Door1Opened, Door2Closed and Door2Opened)
Both doors are models, so I built a function ('tweenModel' in the code) to tween every part in the model independently rather than using SetPrimaryPartCFrame(), because it caused trouble with special welds elsewhere in my game.
It works, but it also tweens to an orientation of {0, 0, 0}. Somebody mentioned that the problem stems from CFrame including orientation values as well as position, and me calculating CFrame from Vector3 (Position), gives it no values for orientation, causing it to resort to the default (which I assume is {0, 0, 0})
If this is the case, then how can I keep the orientation of my doors while using TweenService to translate them?
Here's a video of the doors: https://imgur.com/qjWnSsO
Here's the script:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService") local Door1 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Door1") local Door2 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Door2") local Targets = script.Parent.Targets local tweeningInformation = TweenInfo.new( 1, Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0 ) local Open = true local OpenButton = script.Parent:WaitForChild("OpenButton") local CloseButton = script.Parent:WaitForChild("CloseButton") function tweenModel(model, tweeningInfo, vector) local descendants = model:GetDescendants() for i=1, #descendants do if descendants[i]:IsA("BasePart") then print(descendants[i]) print(vector) local modVector = {CFrame = CFrame.new(descendants[i].Position + vector)} print(modVector) local temp = TweenService:Create(descendants[i], tweeningInfo, modVector) temp:Play() end end end function operate() if Open == true then CloseButton.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 0 CloseButton.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Neon orange") print(Targets.Door1Closed.Position - Targets.Door1Opened.Position) tweenModel(Door1, tweeningInformation, (Targets.Door1Closed.Position - Targets.Door1Opened.Position)) tweenModel(Door2, tweeningInformation, (Targets.Door2Closed.Position - Targets.Door2Opened.Position)) wait(1) CloseButton.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Crimson") OpenButton.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Electric blue") OpenButton.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 32 Open = not Open else OpenButton.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 0 OpenButton.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Neon orange") tweenModel(Door1, tweeningInformation, (Targets.Door1Opened.Position - Targets.Door1Closed.Position)) tweenModel(Door2, tweeningInformation, (Targets.Door2Opened.Position - Targets.Door2Closed.Position)) wait(1) OpenButton.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Crimson") CloseButton.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Electric blue") CloseButton.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 32 Open = not Open end end OpenButton.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(operate) CloseButton.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(operate)
If you want to keep the orientation, you can simply replace the CFrame field in the properties table with Position so the third argument when you are creating the tween would be something like {Position = descendants[i].Position + vector}
