Basepart not facing Enemy Player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

  1. Hello!, I’m writing this devfourm post because I’m currently having an issue with a script I want to create that allows a part to face a enemy player’s humanoidrootpart.

  2. My issue is that the script doesn’t work as intended where instead of facing the enemy player’s humanoidrootpart it just faces forwards and not where it’s intended to be.

  3. I’ve tried out bodygyro, attatchments, etc pretty much everything to try to recreate this but to no success.
    What I intend to happen:


    What I currently have:

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Have you tried using CFrame.lookAt?
i.e
AlignWeaponOrientation.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(GunPrimaryPart.Position, EnemyHumanoidRoot.Position)

Yes I have it gives me this odd behavior and doesn’t stay locked onto the enemy player
