Making sphere move left and right

[quiet ridge]

I have a script to make the sphere move left and right and the script runs through the entire thing with no errors but the ball never actually does anything and just falls down.

local cframeList = {}
local alignPosition = script.Parent.AlignPosition
local a = true

if a == true then
    a = false
    table.insert(cframeList, script.Parent.Parent.D1.D1A.CFrame)
    table.insert(cframeList, script.Parent.Parent.D2.D2A.CFrame)
end



alignPosition.MaxVelocity = 30
platform.AlignOrientation.MaxAngularVelocity = 3
alignPosition.Position = cframeList[1].Position
platform.AlignOrientation.CFrame = cframeList[1].Rotation
platform.Anchored = false

while true do
    for i,_ in pairs(cframeList) do
        alignPosition.Position = cframeList[i].Position --Im grabbing the first thing out of my cframeList table since i will return an index
        platform.AlignOrientation.CFrame = cframeList[i].Rotation
        print("here")
        task.wait(2)
    end
    
    
    
    
end```

what if you change CFrame to WorldCFrame

table.insert(cframeList, script.Parent.Parent.D1.D1A.WorldCFrame)
table.insert(cframeList, script.Parent.Parent.D2.D2A.WorldCFrame)

[late vale]

You could use math.sin() to get a cool wave effect

[late vale]

No

[signal helm]

isnt attachment cframe relative to the parent part though

im pretty sure you need to set the AlignPosition's position to the WorldCFrame

[late vale]

Just do Cframe.new(math.sin(os.tick), 0, 0)

[quiet ridge]

Nah that didnt really work

Im thinking its because I didnt use an attathcment 0 and 1

But I dont want to use this if I can avoid them cuz I wanna use the table so I can make a loop to move back and forth

[signal helm]

hm

I tested it and it worked for me so idk what else is wrong

[quiet ridge]

Damn yeah Im just really stumped and like overall im getting confused cuz theres like 3 diffrent ways I can do this too but this way is the best way

[signal helm]

Did you set the Attachment0 of the AlignPosition to the Center attachment?

[quiet ridge]

No I didnt mess with the attatchments at all in alignorientation

[signal helm]

and also set the Mode to OneAttachment

[quiet ridge]

Culd that be the issue

[signal helm]

yeah that should be the issue

just set Mode to OneAttachment

then click Attachment0 and set to the Center attachment

[quiet ridge]

What about for attathcment one

[signal helm]

attachment one goes away if you set the mode to OneAttachment

[quiet ridge]

Do I need to do any of this for alignorientation

[signal helm]

i think so yeah

same thing

[quiet ridge]

lowkey dont know how to embed videos

but like its moving down and to the right

[signal helm]

you changed CFrame to WorldCFrame right?

[quiet ridge]

Nah I changed that back

[signal helm]

put it to WorldCFrame otherwise it will go to the center of the world

which i think is what its doing

[quiet ridge]

I tried that and it didnt work

[signal helm]

what is it doing now?

[quiet ridge]

same thing

[signal helm]

is it the same

hm

[quiet ridge]

this is my script right now

local cframeList = {}
local alignPosition = script.Parent.AlignPosition
local a = true

if a == true then
    a = false
    table.insert(cframeList, script.Parent.Parent.D1.D1A.WorldCFrame)
    table.insert(cframeList, script.Parent.Parent.D2.D2A.WorldCFrame)
end



alignPosition.MaxVelocity = 30
platform.AlignOrientation.MaxAngularVelocity = 3
alignPosition.Position = cframeList[1].Position
platform.AlignOrientation.CFrame = cframeList[1].Rotation
platform.Anchored = false

while true do
    for i,_ in pairs(cframeList) do
        alignPosition.Position = cframeList[i].Position --Im grabbing the first thing out of my cframeList table since i will return an index
        platform.AlignOrientation.CFrame = cframeList[i].Rotation
        print("here")
        task.wait(2)
    end




end```

[signal helm]

where are parts D1 and D2

in your game

[signal helm]

oh wait

i think the first line is suppose to be
local platform = script.Parent

because you do platform.AlignOrientation

[quiet ridge]

That fixed it but like I dont get why

[signal helm]

Were you getting any errors before?

[quiet ridge]

If I change the position of my attatchment doesnt my ball stay fixed with it

[quiet ridge]

Yeah I was I didnt see

Originally it didnt give me errors for that

[signal helm]

no its the position inside alignPosition that moves the ball

[quiet ridge]

Alright

Im just really happy I fixed it

[signal helm]

well I think AlignPosition applies a force to the ball's attachment which also moves the ball basically

[quiet ridge]

This script took me like an hour and wasnt working so it was super frustarating

[signal helm]

oh well good its fixed now
