Why does rotation behave differently in the editor and in code/game

[granite igloo]

the element on the pictures should be pivoted to back part of the opening and it works fine on in the editor (first 2 pictures) however in the game itself it rotates around itself and ignores the pivot point

pls respond to this man

he needs help

How are you rotating it in the script

[daring monolith]

Part. Pivot = part.pivot * Cframe.angles(0,0,math.rad(90))

There is another problem where the part is not anchored to the rest of the tank when the tank is moved

We want to set the part's local / relative position and rotation

[daring monolith]

How should we rotate it so it rotates like if you used the rotation gizmo in the editor?

I think you should probably do something a little different

Maybe a Motor6D so you can adjust the C0's orientation but it stays welded.

Or use an invisible pivot part, weld the door to the pivot part and the pivot part to the tank, and rotate the pivot

[daring monolith]

it's not possible to do it

[wild plover]

Why not

[daring monolith]

no solution cares about the pivot point and just ignores it

[wild plover]

If you want two objects to stick together, you'll need to use constraints, like welds or joints. It won't just magically stick.

Why not use a servo HingeConstraint and give it a target angle? Then you can put the attachment on the door and tank where the hinge should be

so illogical bruh

[wild plover]

"illogical"?

I'm not sure why you think it's illogical

[daring monolith]

first time seeing a system like that

godot, unity and unreal make hierarchy and parent-child relationships matter

🤷‍♂️
