i want a part to move in circles

[olive egret]

will i have to use trigno to do it or is there a simpler way this is the current code

wait()
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local b = script.Parent
local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local cc = game.Workspace.TestCam
local info = TweenInfo.new(5,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.In,-1,true,0)
local properties = {CFrame = CFrame.new(-4, 6, 38)}
local tween = ts:Create(cc,info,properties)
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
wait()
b.Activated:Connect(function()
    tween:Play()
    cc:GetPropertyChangedSignal("CFrame"):Connect(function()
        cam.CFrame = cc.CFrame
        tween:Play()
    end)
end)

i dont really know what your code is doing there
but you really shoudnt use connections inside of other connections,

also i think a more elegant way of doing circles is to use sin and cos
like

local t = os.clock()

local x = math.cos(t)
local z = math.sin(t)

local pos = Vector3.new(x, 0, z)
``` also that gives you way more customizability

A camera which is supposed to rotate aroud the lobby and shows that in the main menu

[faint sage]

local radius = 15
local focus = workspace:WaitForChild("FocusPart")
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local yOffset = 5

while true do
  task.wait()
  local t = tick()

  local x = math.cos(t) * radius
  local z = math.sin(t) * radius

  cam.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Vector3.new(x, yOffset, z) + focus.Position, focus.Position)
end

Make sure to change the radius variable and yOffset variable to your liking. Also make sure to have a part named ‘FocusPart’ in workspace, this will be the part the camera rotates around

could use RunService there
also os.clock() is better

[faint sage]

Why is os.clock() better?

[rapid egret]

because it is

[faint sage]

If you can’t argument that its better dont say it is

tick() gives a float that can be used just as well as os.clock() and its not like its different performing. Tbh i don’t really know too much about os.clock() and i usually use tick() so thats why i used it.

[faint sage]

i could, yes, but does it matter? Not really

[rapid egret]

os.clock() uses your cpu clock whats way more percise

[faint sage]

Doesnt really matter

About precision

[rapid egret]

we dont need the unix epoch here, and we also dont care about time zones and that stuff

[faint sage]

Its just a number thats incrementing that we need

[rapid egret]

i mean.. yes
idk how roblox handles it internally but now with that new fps unlock feature
idk if tick() is really that good at handling 240fps
but the cpu clock handles that ez (otherwise it cant run roblox... or windows... or anything else)

[faint sage]

i said precision didn’t matter not perfomance

[rapid egret]

but if tick updates at 60hz then you also move your camera at 60hz
even with 240fps
