CFrame.LookAt() with Motor6D(Making torso face mouse.Hit)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I have a gun script that works fine. However, I don’t like the idea of the bullet tracers going through the players character to hit its target. I made a simple solution to this problem though; I will make the character face its mouse.Hit position(aimpos). I personally am very bad at trig so I decided to use this script:

RootHI.C0 = CFrame.lookAt(hrp.Position, aimpos)

When I used this script, it was acting funky and teleported my character through the ground and back for some reason.

I have also tried:

hrp.CFrame = CFrame.LookAt(hrp.Position, aimpos)

This worked perfectly but when I used it, it didn’t allow my character to move when shooting because it constantly set my characters hrp position.

DO KEEP IN MIND that I have tried to use CFrame.LookAt() for the HumanoidRootPart to the aimpos but it didn’t allow my character to move when I used this. Therefor I am using Motor6Ds.

All feedback is appreciated;

Thanks,

I also figured that I would mention that I am new to CFrame animating as well as using Motor6Ds.

try
hrp.CFrame = CFrame.LookAt(hrp.Position, aimpos * Vector3.new(1, 0, 1))

I tried using your code. It gave me this error:

#5

you have to define hrp and aimpos obviously

#6

hrp and aimpos are my exact variables.

#7

That’s because the C0 is its own CFrame that is different from the HumanoidRootPart CFrame.

RootHI.C0 = CFrame.lookAt(RootHI.C0.Position, aimpos)

#8

From what I know, the C0 value would be a relative position, not a global one. I think you could do something like:

RootHI.C0 = CFrame.lookAt(RootHI.C0.Position, aimpos):ToObjectSpace(hrp.CFrame)

Or something of that nature.

I tried this line and this was the result.

I also tried yours. Something isn’t quite right here.

#11

It’s CFrame.lookAt not CFrame.LookAt

#12

Maybe this will work?

local RunService= game:GetService("RunService");
local BodyGyro = instance.New("BodyGyro", HumanoidRootPart);
BodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.New(0, 1e6, 0);

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(HumanoidRootPart.Position, aimpos);
end)

Brilliant! I had to edit this code a little of course since it’s inside a server script but it worked nice and my character turned smooth exactly as I wanted. Since I have no expierience with Gyros I would have never thought of this. Nice Job.

Also, sorry for the some what late response.
