For those seeking an extra challenge in Stage 7's rolling rocks chaos, get ready to up the ante with some moving cover madness! Here's how to take it to the next stage:

Description

We are going to create a script that makes a part in Roblox move back and forth smoothly using tweens. Here's what we want to accomplish:

Step 1 - Set Up Movement:

The part will start at its initial position and move to a new position 10 studs away.

Step 2 - Smooth Movement:

The part will move smoothly using a tween, taking 2 seconds for each movement.

Step 3 - Repeat Movement:

The part will keep moving back and forth forever.

By doing this, the part will continuously move back and forth, creating a smooth animation effect.

Instructions and Code Logic

Step 1 - Set Up the Starting Variables:

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

• Get the TweenService from the game.

• Create a variable for the starting position of the part (startPos).

• Create a variable for the ending position 10 studs away from the starting position (endPos).

• Create a TweenInfo object that defines how the tween will behave:

  • Duration: 2 seconds.

  • Easing style: Linear (smooth and consistent speed).

  • Easing direction: Out (slows down at the end).

  • Repeat count: -1 (infinite repeats).

  • Reverses: true (moves back and forth).

  • Delay time: 0 seconds (no delay).

Step 2 - Create a Function:

• Define a function named startTween.

• Inside the function, create a tween that moves the part from startPos to endPos.

• Connect a function to the tween's Completed event to swap startPos and endPos when the tween finishes, and then restart the tween.

• Start the tween by calling the Play method.

• Call the startTween function to begin the movement.

Putting It All Together

• Start by setting up your part, tween service, and positions.

• Create a TweenInfo object to define the tween behavior.

• Define a function named startTween to create and manage the tween.

• Inside the function, create a tween to move the part and handle the completion event.

• Start the tween to begin the movement.

• Call the startTween function to kick off the process.

Hooray! By conquering Stage 7’s rolling rocks and rocky terrain, you’ve shown incredible courage and skill! Onward to Stage 8, where even more thrilling VR adventures await! Keep pushing your limits and exploring new heights in the virtual world! 🌟
