I need help with Moving an Object with Scripts

First off, I don't think you _need_ scripting for this, but if you're trying to do it just to learn this might help: 

Also note, I didn't test this code but at least it'll show you one way of doing what you want

Also also, I'm just a dude. I don't work for Snap so this might be a completely awful way of doing this lol :) 

// object you want to rotate assuming its attached to this script
var object = script.getSceneObject()

// create update event
var updateEvent = script.createEvent('UpdateEvent')


// "bind" the event to a function, the insides of this will now run on every frame update
updateEvent.bind(function(eventData) {

        // runs every frame update
        // this is your func, could be called anything ex: "myFunc(eventData)"        
        onFrameUpdate(eventData) 

        // we pass in "eventData" because that is how we can get "deltaTime" which is the amount of time passed since the last update, allows for smoother animation
})


// create a function that you can update 
function onFrameUpdate(eventData) {} // empty now, we don't want to do anything


// create mouth opened event
var mouthOpened = script.createEvent("MouthOpenedEvent");

mouthOpened.bind(function (eventData)
{
    print("Mouth was opened");
     
    onFrameUpdate = function(eventData) {
       rotateJaw(eventData) // we changed the frame update function to rotate the jaw
    }
});


// note, this wont rotate it down. You'll have to play around with it. It was copy and pasted from this example: https://lensstudio.snapchat.com/api/classes/quat/
function rotateJaw(eventData) {
    // Degrees to rotate by
    var degrees = 90 * eventData.getDeltaTime();

    // Convert degrees to radians
    var radians = degrees * (Math.PI / 180);

    // Axis to rotate around
    var axis = vec3.up();

    // Rotation we will apply to the object's current rotation
    var rotationToApply = quat.angleAxis(radians, axis);

    // Get the object's current world rotation
    var oldRotation = object.getTransform().getWorldRotation();

    // Get the new rotation by rotating the old rotation by rotationToApply
    var newRotation = rotationToApply.multiply(oldRotation);

    // Set the object's world rotation to the new rotation
    object.getTransform().setWorldRotation(newRotation);


     
    // NOTE: IMPORTANT
    // when you want to stop the rotation you will call this
    // ie: when jaw is at your desired rotation
    
    onFrameUpdate() = function() {} // stops update script
}

Have you tried to apply a Tween?

Add the tween package by clicking on the Add New > Help Scripts > Tween Manager

 Now, go to your jaw object and press "add component" in the inspector and add a "Script" component. 

You're going to want to attach "Tween Transform" which is in `Tween/TweenTypes/TweenTransform`



then, in your tween transform. Change the "Type" to "Rotate"






then input the start X/Y/Z and the end X/Y/Z. Make sure "Play automatically" is checked and then check to see if it works.



--

If that works, we're going to want to trigger it on MouthOpen

UNCHECK "PLAY AUTOMATICALLY": Otherwise the trigger wont work, we just wanted it checked for testing

input a "Tween Name" in the respective field on the tween component.



(note, scene object is 'none' because its attached to the component I want to move. You can drag the skull jaw into this field)


--

Now, to get the event: Go to the "Add New" > "Helper Scripts" > "Behavior"



--

Now go back to the jaw object where your tween is and "Add Component" > "Script" > "Behavior"



--


Change Trigger to "Face Event"



Then set "Event Type" to "Mouth Open"

Now, in "Response Type" you want "Run Tween"



Assign "Target Object" to your jaw object

Assign "Tween Name" to what ever you set the name to above

Hope that helps!
