CFrame orientation for archery script not functioning

[geopass1]

1. I want to make an archery minigame in my roblox game. I want to fire the arrow with the script below.

2. When the function runs, the arrow fires and goes through the at the expected path, but seems to be stuck in an orientation permanently facing in the positive X direction.

3. I rewatched the tutorial (BrawlDev’s physics tutorial) and checked my code. I tried using a few print statements that turned out as expected, and also looked at some more tutorials about CFrames so i could better understand the code, but I still don’t understand the issue. The code is below for reference.

local function FireArrow(Speed, TargetPosition, ArrowRoot)
local PointsToAdd = 0
local Origin = ArrowRoot.Position
local Direction = (TargetPosition - Origin).Unit
local GravityForce = Vector3.new(0, -workspace.Gravity, 0) * 0.5
local Position = Origin
ArrowRoot.CFrame = CFrame.new(Origin, Origin + Direction)
local HeartbeatFunction
local Velocity = Direction * Speed
HeartbeatFunction = RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function(DeltaTime)
local StepVelocity = Velocity + GravityForce * DeltaTime
local StepDisplacement = (Velocity + StepVelocity) / 2 * DeltaTime
Velocity = StepVelocity
local NextPos = Position + StepDisplacement
ArrowRoot.CFrame = CFrame.new(NextPos, NextPos + Velocity.Unit)
Position = NextPos
end)
end

The code is triggered on a pre-existing arrow with speed set to 100 and TargetPosition being the mouse’s hit pos. I have also tried inverting the Velocity.Unit to see if it did anything to which way the arrow was pointing, and that didn’t work.

Edit : I have found that pointing the mouse left of the starting position of the arrow makes it face to the left, and right of the start pos to the right.

I fixed it. The problem was that my arrow’s front was facing towards the next point, but the front was not the tip of the arrow. Multiplying the arrow’s angle cframe by CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90),0) fixed this for me.
