Spinning Part¶

Difficulty¶

This is an easy tutorial.

Setup¶

No setup is required. All you need to do is attach this to an existing Part.

local speed = 25 --(1)!

function Update(dt: number) --(2)!
    self.Orientation += --(3)!
        Vector3.new(0, 0, speed * dt) --(4)!
end

1. This line creates the speed variable, and gives it a value of 25. This will be used later, on line 5.
2. As mentioned in Globals/Lifetime Functions, this fires every frame.
3. This line gets the current rotation of the Instance that the script is attached to.
4. This line creates a new Vector3, with the X and Y set to 0, with the Z axis being set to speed * dt. Multiplying the speed by dt ensures it rotates smoothly despite lag.
