Enemies look at player script not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

i have a script that rotate the enemies to left or right base on where the player is from the object space

local TagService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local Players = game.Players

for _,enemies in pairs(TagService:GetTagged("Enemies")) do
	Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
		plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
			RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
				local PlayerPosition = enemies.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame)
				
				if PlayerPosition.Z > 0 then
					enemies.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,-90,0)
				else
					enemies.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,90,0)
				end
			end)
		end)
	end)
end

the problem is this:


it seems to be the if else statement but i don’t know how to solve it.

Have you tried print debugging? Check if the if statements actually run by adding a print to it.
Also, for your case, can’t you just make use of CFrame.lookAt?

enemies.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(enemies.HumanoidRootPart.Position, char.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

And if you still want it to be a rigid “left right” kind of thing, you can round it to the nearest 90 as well.

sorry for the late reply

using Cframe.LookAt did work but I am having an issue with rounding to 90 degree since i’m still a beginner

issue:

the line of code:

local divnumber = Eroot.Orientation.Y / 90
				
Eroot.Orientation = Vector3.new(Eroot.Orientation.X,(90 * math.floor(divnumber)),Eroot.Orientation.Z)

--Eroot is the enemies humanoidrootpart

I’m going to use a really useful custom rounding function:

function round(n, to)
    return math.floor(n/to + 0.5) * to
end
Eroot.Orientation = Vector3.new(Eroot.Orientation.X, round(Eroot.Orientation.Y, 90), Eroot.Orientation.Y)

If it doesn’t work, or if you need me to explain anything, let me know.

i’m not sure if i have to modify anything but its not working

#6

I’m not very sure then, sorry. Perhaps anchoring the model will help?

#8

my bad, i forgot to change these line:

Eroot.Orientation = Vector3.new(Eroot.Orientation.X, round(Eroot.Orientation.X, 90), Eroot.Orientation.Y)

to

Eroot.Orientation = Vector3.new(Eroot.Orientation.X, round(Eroot.Orientation.Y, 90), Eroot.Orientation.Z)

thanks for the help!

also, if possible is there a way to remove the middle frame where the enemies face 180 degrees when the enemies is rotating?


it’s not a big deal but it would be better without it

#10

change the round part from 90 to 180

#11

it didn’t work but that’s ok. Thanks helping me
