If anyone's wondering why "print(newCFrame)" prints out the same values, it's because "newCFrame" is the variable, so it won't change. The way to print out the part's actual current CFrame is by doing print(part.CFrame) part.CFrame = part.CFrame * newCFrame print(part.CFrame) I know I'm very late, but I hope there are still people wanting to be a developer.

Tutorial on metatables

[@keikmeex3829]

Radians are basically fractions of a full 2D circle (360 degrees) So if an object is rotated 180 degrees, it is halfway through its entire rotation. In other words, the rotation of the object is 1/2 or 180/360 in radian.

[@bullshitdepartment]

Not quite....there are 2pi radians in the circumference of a circle, hence the equation C= 2pi *r. Therefore, 2pi radians = 360 degrees and the most useful one, pi radians, = 180 degrees or in other words 3.14 radians = 180 degrees

[@guilhermechaves8372]

a radian is the angle formed when you get an arc of a circle that is the same length as the radius.

[@ayo123]

It's not a fraction. Ok is equal to 180, so 180 = pi. That means 2pi = 360, because it's 180 x 2 (so you multiply ok by 2 also) so 45 = pi\4, because 45 is 180 divided by 4

[@lightermcqueet3977]

The reason why you’d be seeing that huge ass decimal when printing it out is because the angle still remains represented in radians form. 45 degrees in radians is pi/4, which when divided amounts to that number.

[@imper3310]

To those still confused: Radians are just another unit for angles. Just like for length we got inches and feet, for angles there's degrees and radians.

[@pchanio]

radians are the arced length of a unit circle whereas degrees are used to measure angles

I know this reply is 2 years late but something that can help is to make quizlets, or any other studying app of your choice. After typing the same commands over and over, it really sticks in your brain. Another thing you could do is force yourself into a schedule by getting an online class with a teacher, if you are willing to pay. Knowing that someone is checking your work (and silently judging you) is a great motivator!

the reason why the CFrame values were the same is because you were printing the variable ( CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(45),0) ) and not the parts CFrame.

Radiants would be if you measure the length of a circle with a radius of one (so 90 degrees would be 0.5pi) for a little clarification (i hope)

[@bradleywhais7779]

Is there any advantage to using CFrame? seems like its easier and shorter to point to the position and orientation. in fact you could make a module script and use the part as a var to get the position and orientation.

[@quintavius4865]

radians are basically another way to represent angles, accept using pi. 45 degrees is the same as pi/4 radians.

[@xboydubose7254]

Why does CFrame use multiplication to offset, and Vectors use addition?

[@TheDevKing]

not sure, but its the exact same thing. It's just the way it was written. I kind of explained in the video. You might be able to find something online tho

[@chipanyanwu]

It's because CFrames are something called Matrices which you can't add together.

Bro this was very easy tbh, Its just like you said it. Its just a Vector3 value but along with position, you can change the part's orientation (rotate the part) too

[@Numeristic]

So uh, CFrame.Angle(num1,num2,num3) is like another Vector3 values, but for orientations? And also a difference, that if the number value is different from 0, you must include "math.rad" before the values to convert it from real life degrees into ROBLOX studio? *And Just CFrame(num1,num2,num3) is the completely same kind as Vector3 values?*

[@ItsAlreadyTaken35]

After absorbing the knowledge from this delicious video I can now make a helicopter

[@tenorHarlequin]

At 14:10, the value isn't changing because you were only referencing newCFrame, which didn't change. "newCFrame" was just your CFrame.Angles(). To see the change, you would've needed to do print(part.CFrame) afterwards. I hope this clears up any confusion anyone may have had on these parts. TheDevKing, I really appreciate what you're doing for the Roblox community, but please please please be more thorough in your tutorials. Maybe it would help to plan out each point as well as what examples you're going to use? I hope you see this as constructive criticism. Edit: I realized that I misinterpreted a part that I previously explained. I've fixed this, and everything else in the comment is still valid.

CFrame is a cosplay of Vector3 but this cosplay have more abilities than the Vector3 such as change orientation of a part
