I already have the mouse as a variable
I am not looking for all the code, I just want to know how I can change the direction of the character

You’ll want to look into CFrames and LookVectors!

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/datatype/CFrame

You’ll want something that looks like:


local rs = game:GetService("RunService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local RenderStepped = function()
	local mousePos = mouse.Hit.Position
	local desiredPosition = Vector3.new(
		mousePos.X,
		character.PrimaryPart.Position.Y,
		mousePos.Z
	)
	character:PivotTo(CFrame.new(character.PrimaryPart.Position, desiredPosition))
end

rs.RenderStepped:Connect(RenderStepped)

i just wrote this so it might not work, if any errors pop up or you have any questions reply to this!
