I am making an elevator and i need BodyGyro to stop the platform tilting to one side when a player gets on it. I put BodyGyro in but i don't know what values to use for D, P, maxForce and cFrame (which for some reason isn't shown in the properties window in ROBLOX Studio). I want the platform to stay upright (obviously), so what values do i need to do that. thanx

Check tags for D and P, and cframe=position.

What does that mean and how do i do it? Do i set cframe=position in my script, i am using BodyVelocity to move the elevator so would i have to constantly set BodyGyro.cframe = current elevator position?

ok, i really need to know how to use BodyGyro. My elevator keeps going off course and flying everywhere. I need to keep it going straight up, especially when ppl get on it

The problem isn't the BodyGyro. The problem is the BodyPosition. Have it? Check its position. Don't have it? Get it. Using another thing? Trash it and get BodyPosition.

Ok, so your saying that BodyPosition is better than BodyVelocity (which i am currently using)? 'cos i think BodyPosition would be much better in my case since i am using an array of positions for each floor. So i can just say, go to current floor pos and that's all :) but i tried using BodyPosition and it didn't work, how do i use it? what are good values for P and D?
