Hi,
This is kind of hard to explain but, I want to turn the camera 180 degrees, but I don’t want them to look the opposite way. This is how it looks going opposite:

How do I fix this?
Line:
CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0) * CurrentCamera.CFrame -- 180 deg
So you want to rotate only the character and not the camera?
Well, the camera rotates the character already, because of shiftlock.
Here’s a sketch of where I want the camera to look
Blue = Where I want it to go
Red = Where it’s current going right now (opposite)
Light Blue = Player’s original cframe
Sorry, it’s kind of hard to put into words.
So you want it to turn an approximate of 90 degrees instead of 180?
Instead of 180°, you rotate by -(2x the angle) you entered in.
If I do 90 degrees it doesn’t turn the player backwards. Here’s how it looks like:
CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, math.rad(90), 0) * CurrentCamera.CFrame
What do you mean by -2x the angle? Can you show me.
If you enter a wall 45°, you bounce off -(2 * 45)°, which is -90°, the negative is there to supply the LookVector, might not supposed to be there.
Entering a wall 25°, you bounce off -(2 * 25)°, which is -50°.
Another equivalent method of this is just bouncing, from the wall’s LookVector, -(angle of entry).
Enter -45°, exit 45°.
Enter 67°, exit -67°.
This is supposedly how light bounces off reflective surfaces.
I don’t think I did this right:
https://gyazo.com/281e2f113dc14332f0f296091d6c6d82
local velocity = Root.CFrame:Inverse() * (Root.Position + Root.AssemblyLinearVelocity)
local yDirection = math.atan2(velocity.X, -velocity.Z)
local roundedDirection = math.ceil(math.deg(yDirection) - 0.5)
print(roundedDirection, -(2 * roundedDirection))
CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, -(2 * roundedDirection) , 0) * CurrentCamera.CFrame -- 180 deg
This is what I tried to do
Last two lines try removing the unary operator (negative), I’ve never attempted to script something like this so maybe. Oh and maybe check if the angle is 0° and instead set roundedDirection to 90°.
local velocity = Root.CFrame:Inverse() * (Root.Position + Root.AssemblyLinearVelocity)
local yDirection = math.atan2(velocity.X, -velocity.Z)
local roundedDirection = math.ceil(math.deg(yDirection) - 0.5)
local reflectedDirection = (2 * roundedDirection)
print(roundedDirection, reflectedDirection)
CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, reflectedDirection , 0) * CurrentCamera.CFrame

It only works sometimes + when the angle is 0, it doesn’t turn u around.
Maybe:
local velocity = Root.CFrame:Inverse() * (Root.Position + Root.AssemblyLinearVelocity)
local yDirection = math.atan2(velocity.X, -velocity.Z)
local roundedDirection = math.ceil(math.deg(yDirection) - 0.5)
local reflectedDirection = (180 - (2 * roundedDirection))
print(roundedDirection, reflectedDirection)
CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, reflectedDirection , 0) * CurrentCamera.CFrameIt did yield better results but it sometimes barely turns you.
Hm.
local velocity = Root.CFrame:Inverse() * (Root.Position + Root.AssemblyLinearVelocity)
local yDirection = math.atan2(velocity.X, -velocity.Z)
local roundedDirection = math.ceil(math.deg(yDirection) - 0.5)
local reflectedDirection = (((2 * roundedDirection) > 180 and 360 or 180) - (2 * roundedDirection))
print(roundedDirection, reflectedDirection)
CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, reflectedDirection , 0) * CurrentCamera.CFrameMore better results but it’s still kind of weird:

you can take a look for your self here:
I’m kind of stuck with method 2, I tried method 1 again but instead I did this:
local x, y, z = CurrentCamera.CFrame:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
local yRounded = math.ceil(math.deg(y) - 0.5)
local reflectedDirection = (((2 * yRounded) > 180 and 360 or 180) - (2 * yRounded))
print(yRounded, reflectedDirection)
CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, reflectedDirection , 0) * CurrentCamera.CFrame
Same results
Maybe you could try rotating the character along with the camera. Maybe the character doesn’t update orientation in line with the script?
