Description

We are going to create a script that makes a part in Roblox move side to side between two points. Here's what we want to accomplish:

Step 1 - Start at a Position:

The part will start at a certain position.

Step 2 - Move Side to Side:

The part will move to one side up to a set distance, then move back to the starting position, and keep repeating this movement.

Step 3- Direction Change:

When the part reaches the set distance on one side, it will change direction and move back to the starting position.

Step 4 - Smooth Movement:

The part will move smoothly using a tweening effect, pausing for a short time between movements.

By doing this, the part will continuously move side to side in a loop, creating a smooth and continuous animation effect.

Instructions and Code Logic

Step 1 - Set Up Starting Variables:

• Create a variable to hold the part by setting it to the Parent of the script.

• Create a variable for how fast the part will move (speed).

• Create a variable for how far the part will move (distance).

• Make a variable to remember the starting position of the part.

• Create a variable to set the direction of movement using a vector (direction).

Step 2 - Create a Function:

• Define a function named moveSideToSide to hold the moving logic.

Step 3 - Make an Infinite Loop:

• Inside the function, use a loop that runs forever. In Lua, this is done with while true do.

Step 4 - Calculate Goal Position:

• Calculate the position where the part should move by adding the direction multiplied by the distance to the starting position (startPos).

Step 5 - Calculate Distance and Time:

• Calculate the distance from the current position to the goal position.

• Calculate the time it should take to move to the goal position by dividing the distance by the speed.

Step 6 - Create a Tween:

• Create a TweenInfo object with the calculated time and set the easing style to Linear.

• Use the TweenService to create a tween that moves the part to the goal position.

Step 7 - Play the Tween:

• Play the tween and wait for it to complete.

Step 8 - Change Direction:

• After reaching the goal position, change the direction to the opposite by multiplying the direction by -1.

Step 9 - Pause the Loop:

• Use the wait function to pause the loop for a short time, such as 1 second, before repeating the loop.

Step 10 - Call the Function:

• Outside the function, call moveSideToSide to start the movement.

Putting It All Together

• Start by setting up your starting variables.

• Define a function named moveSideToSide to hold the moving logic.

• Inside the function, create an infinite loop using while true do.

• Calculate the goal position by adding the direction multiplied by the distance to the starting position.

• Calculate the distance to the goal position and the time it should take to move there.

• Create a TweenInfo object with the calculated time and set the easing style to Linear.

• Use the TweenService to create a tween that moves the part to the goal position.

• Play the tween and wait for it to complete.

• Change the direction to the opposite by multiplying the direction by -1.

• Use the wait function to pause the loop for a short time.

• Outside the function, call moveSideToSide to start the movement.

• Fantastic work! You've conquered Stage 2 like a true coding superstar! Now, let's gear up and prepare to tackle Stage 3 with even more enthusiasm and determination! Keep shining bright, Obby builders! 🌟
