Okay, so I have some functions that are called:


function translate(partA, partB, change)
print("Hello2")
if partA:IsA("BasePart") and partB:IsA("BasePart") then
partA.CFrame = partB.CFrame:toWorldSpace((partB.CFrame * change):toObjectSpace(partA.CFrame))
end
end

function slowRotate(partA, partB, rotVec, time)
x, y, z = rotVec.x, rotVec.y, rotVec.z
frames = 30*time
print(frames)
if time ~= 0 then
x, y, z = x/frames, y/frames, z/frames
end
for i = 1, frames do
print("Hello1")
translate(partA, partB, CFrame.Angles(x, y, z))
wait(time/frames)
end
end


and when I run it, I get the output:

...
30
Hello1
30
Hello1
30
Hello1
Transformed!

(Transformed is the output I have for when all the methods are *supposed* to be finished)


As you can see from the code, I have several markers for when the code is executed. "Hello1" tells me it at least got into the loop with for i=1 and whatnot. "30" tells me how many frames I am going to run the code for. "Hello2" tells me that the next method is called.

But, for some stupid reason, as the output shows, the code prints "Hello1", which is right before calling the 'translate' method, and never, ever, prints "Hello2". But it continues on to print the "Transformed!" at the end, which tells me there isn't a syntax error anywhere.

If it makes any difference, slowTranslate is called from a coroutine, which runs along side about 40? other coroutines that run the same methods.

Can one help me figure this out?

I actually wait until my post dies from the front page, unlike you people who will bump if theirs isn't the first post in the list.

Will anyone help me?

Whenever you recursively go back to the function you forgot to include time


translate(partA, partB, CFrame.Angles(x, y, z),time)

I don't know what the heck you are talking about recusion for, and the translate method doesn't take the time parameter.

sorry I was scimming through it and just thought you were recursively looping.

Can I see how you're calling it?

rotate({rthigh, rcalf}, rfoot.FootHinge, Vector3.new(math.rad(-90), 0, 0), 1)
rotate({lthigh, lcalf}, lfoot.FootHinge, Vector3.new(math.rad(-90), 0, 0), 1)


which goes to:


function rotate(models, part, rotVec, time)
for _,m in pairs(models) do
for _,p in pairs(m:GetChildren()) do
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(slowRotate), p, part, rotVec, time)
end
end
end


which goes to the abovementioned functions.

well since you aren't using local, maybe it's confusing some of the variables like x,y and z? Just a guess.

But the problem is, the loop just....stops before it calls the translate method.

It could be coroutines being a b**** and not letting you call another function inside so just combine them.

Yeah, that was it. Thank you very much.
One thing I discovered: having numerous coroutines is not the best idea if you want a lag-free game.

Neither is realistic cars. Kinda takes the fun out of things doesn't it?

:-/ Looks like I'll have to edit welds and unanchor everything rather than have the entire thing CFramed.

Thanks again.
