How could I reset the player's head (or whatever object) orientation?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey everyone,

I’m making this gun that makes your torso and head follow your mouse once equipped, but when you unequip it, it doesn’t reset the head.

Example:

#2

Can you show us the script please?

#3

Why do I need to do so?

I got a simple equip and unequip function that makes a variable true, thus causing the torso and head to start moving around. The only thing I really need help making here is making the head go back to its original position.

#4

Yeah I understand but it would be better to see what you have and easily add a fix, whereas I’m not sure how your system works for me to actually fix it.

Sorry I took a while writing I was trying to write a solution but not sure how your system works since there are many ways it can be made, I don’t think there is one fix to all. So if you could show or tell us the way your system works.

If you insist, prepare your eyes.

One question in the video you provided the head was already looking down? Is that how it spawns in or is that after you have selected your gun. I am assuming it’s after but in the video you can’t quite tell.

#7

That’s after you equip the tool.

#8

Alright, So what you could try is adding Neck.C0 = NeckOrgnC0 after the else on line 80.

#9

Ah, ok. That didn’t work, but when I put it under the equip function it worked. Thanks

#10

Oh right, so it works now? If so that’s good.
