Help needed with changing HumanoidRootParts Orientation

[Philtecs (Phil)]

I am currently working on a gun and want to change the character’s Orientation depending on where I look.

I’ve encountered an issue though, as everytime Im changing the HumanoidRootParts Orientation, the player falls and overall behaves weirdly (watch video).

As Im very unexperienced with CFrames.Angles and that stuff, I have problems finding the solution by my own.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Here is the script and the video:

gun.Activated:Connect(function()
	isPressed = true
	
	if PlayerStats["LastShot"] and tick() - PlayerStats["LastShot"] > waitingTime then -- not on Cooldown
		while isPressed do
			-- Correcting Humanoid:
			local humP = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			if humP then
				humP.CFrame = CFrame.new(humP.Position, Vector3.new(camera.CFrame.LookVector.X, 0, camera.CFrame.LookVector.Z).Unit)
				
			end
		end
	end
end)

Error

You’re making the character face towards the direction, but the problem is you didn’t add the HumanoidRootPart’s position to it, so the character pretty much looks at (0, 0, 0)

to fix this, replace CFrame.new with CFrame.lookAlong, which was newly added and makes a CFrame facing along a direction

it’s equivalent to doing CFrame.new(pos, pos + direction), but it’s shorter

Yeah, just use CFrame.lookAlong, which will make the CFrame have the LookVector that you specify.

Code:

gun.Activated:Connect(function()
	isPressed = true

	if PlayerStats["LastShot"] and tick() - PlayerStats["LastShot"] > waitingTime then -- not on Cooldown
		while isPressed do
			-- Correcting Humanoid:
			local humP = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			if humP then
				local lookVector = camera.CFrame.LookVector
				local modifiedVector = Vector3.new(lookVector.X, 0, lookVector.Z)
				humP.CFrame = CFrame.lookAlong(humP.Position, modifiedVector)
			end

			task.wait()
		end
	end
end)

I added a task.wait() so your script doesn’t time out.
