Help making a part's orientation change with cframe

Hey!

I need to change just the cam.Orientation.Y property using CFrame, I tried this:

cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(newCamOrientation - cam.Orientation.Y), 0)

But this change the cam.Orientation.X and cam.Orientation.Z properties too…

Try this:

cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame *
CFrame.Angles(
cam.Orientation.X, -- The Items Orientation on the X Axis
math.rad(newCamOrientation - cam.Orientation.Y), -- New Orientation on the Y Axis
 cam.Orientation.Z -- The Items Orientation on the Z Axis
)

Instead of Setting the Orientation to 0, It Sets it to the Orientation its already at

Thank you! This worked, the only issue is that the part is looking exactly back, not forward, how can I make this part look forward again?

You may be able to flip it by using -var

Examples (Try them and see which ones work):

-math.rad(newCamOrientation - cam.Orientation.Y)

-newCamOrientation

-cam.Orientation.Y

Lets say you have a Variable name Apples and it has the Number 11, If you do -Apples, it will flip to -11

local Apples = 11

print(-Apples) -- prints "-11"

I made many tests with what you said, but none of them worked, I think I will change this system, to see if it will work, thanks for your help!
