Pighead's Basic CFraming Guide -{for absolute beginners}-
Posted: 06 Aug 2010 02:22 AM |
It's the Head. The Pig Head again.
This guide will only be useful if you have no CFraming experience whatsoever.
Loads of people seem to want to CFrame, or even know what CFrame is. I'm going to tell you how to get started in the least complicated way I possibly can. If you don't understand it, then you will never understand it :P
--------------
CFrame stands for CoordinateFrame. On Roblox, every Part, Seat and SpawnLocation has a CFrame property.
CFrame is the rotation and position of a part. If you build in Studio regularly, you will know that you cannot move bricks tiny amounts, or rotate them any less than 90 degrees (except with Studio's new build tool).
To CFrame, you have to enter a simple, one line script into the command bar in Studio. If you don't know what the command bar is, then you probably won't be able to understand this guide. Which according to my introduction means you will never understand it, which is probably wrong, which means yet again I am contradicting myself and I'll shut up now.
The command bar script goes like this:
workspace.partname.CFrame = workspace.partname.Position + Vector3.new(PositionOfBrick) * CFrame.Angles(RotationOfBrick).
Where is says 'PositionOfBrick' you need to add a Vector3 value to tell it what to add to the CFrame. Vector3 values are: (x,y,z). X is across, Y is up/down and Z is the other way across (it's 3D, not like battleships). So, if you did Vector3.new(0,10,0) it would mean go up 10. If you did Vector3.new(0,-10,0) it would mean go down 10. Same with Vector3.new(3,-5,7) etc etc.
In CFrame.Angles, you need to add in the radian. To rotate, you just need to put CFrame.Angles(0,math.pi/number,0). You can put the math.pi/number on the x, y or z part to rotate it different ways. Instead of 'number' put the radian - basically, the radian is how many times it takes for a full rotation. CFrame.Angles(0,math.pi/5,0) would 1/5 of a full rotation on its Y axis.
For more information on radian, go to http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Radians
So if you wanted to move the brick five up and rotate it 1/8 of a full rotation on its Z axis, the command would be
workspace.partnamehere.CFrame = workspace.partnamehere.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.pi/8)
Tada. Now you can build on this and build an epic game using CFraming!
Things you can build with CFraming:
-Skate parks
-Slopey walls
-Curved pine trees
-Hexagon water fountains
Thanks for reading Pighead's Basic CFraming Guide for Beginners.

| If you use a tool, they can be much less accurate but simpler to use... But then you should always build in Studio. |

| Lol. C-Framing the command way looks too complicated. I just use a C-frame tool from Free Models. (Scan for viruses first! Don't want your place ,to get messed up!) |

| CFraming tools are less accurate, and the command bar is easy once you get to know it. |

Tools are better than the command bar.
Search up "SuperBlobbyblob" on youtube, and take a look at my windmill model being built.
Tools are faster than the command bar, and if you have the right one, tools are just as accurate.
Plus, I have more functions in my tool than you know how to use in the command bar. That allows me to make more sophisticated models.
When I finish my build tool, I plan on starting a thread to argue this point to all the self righteous command bar users, as well as to promote my tool. xD |

Okay, I put this into the command bar:
workspace.partnamehere.CFrame = workspace.partnamehere.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.pi/8)
It doesn't effect my brick at all. What am I not doing correctly? |

| You have to change "partnamehere" to your part's name. Meaning you'll have to give your part a unique name, otherwise your script may be affecting random parts. |
