For your own game in Roblox Studio. Not for use in other people's games.

The code

-- Spinning part: turns the part around its own centre.

local DEGREES_PER_SECOND = 90
local AXIS = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)   -- (0,1,0) turns it like a record player

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local part = script.Parent
part.Anchored = true

local radiansPerSecond = math.rad(DEGREES_PER_SECOND)

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
	part.CFrame = part.CFrame * CFrame.fromAxisAngle(AXIS, radiansPerSecond * deltaTime)
end)

How to set it up

1. Insert a Part. A long thin one makes a good spinning bar.
2. Add a Script inside the Part and paste the code.
3. Play. The part turns without stopping.

Change it

• A negative DEGREES_PER_SECOND spins it the other way.
• Use AXIS = Vector3.new(1, 0, 0) to roll it like a wheel.
• Using deltaTime keeps the speed the same on fast and slow computers.
• Combine with the kill brick script to make a spinning hazard.
