How do I freeze player's rotation while playing an animation?

[cherrypathy]

i am trying to make a hiding animation but the player can rotate around and break the animation.

the animation is a simple 2 second animation. I want the player to not turn around while the animation is being played.

How am i supposed to fix this ?

You can manipulate the player’s camera in a LocalScript to make this work. I also had the same problem, and this code worked for me:

local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local Humanoid = Player.Character.Humanoid
local HumanoidRootPart = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart

Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Track
Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true

(This code is oversimplified, modify it to your needs)

script.camerathing:FireClient(player)

script.Parent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
	local Humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid

	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Track
	Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
end)

i tried using that with remotes because my script was a server script, but it seems to not work

Try anchoring the Character’s HumanoidRootPart as well. I forgot to include that in my previous code, because I think that’s what disables the turning.

Many ways, I believe there is a property on the humanoid called .AutoRotate, but you could also use AlignOrientation to keep the player facing the direction you want, it works smoothly.
