How do I make a character model rotate in a viewport frame

I want it so that the character model rotates in a viewport frame. I can’t seem to make the model appear in the viewport frame. I had a script for rotating objects and tried messing with that script and I can’t seem to figure it out I also looked it up I found no help there. The character model is a dummy and a player model.

Here is the script i tried with it

cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
script.Parent.CurrentCamera = cam

local rotValue = 0

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local cframe = script.Parent.Bob.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotValue), math.rad(180)) * CFrame.new(0, -0.2, 2)
	cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(cframe.p, script.Parent.Bob.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame)
	
	rotValue = rotValue + 1
end)

i think you need to remove cameraType because it’s don’t need.

it works perfectly fine but it doesn’t seem to work with dummy or player models. I need to grab a part of the dummy and then it will work am not sure.
here the normal version of the code (it works)


cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"

script.Parent.CurrentCamera = cam

local rotValue = 0

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()

local cframe = script.Parent.Model.EasternElfEars.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotValue), math.rad(180)) * CFrame.new(0, -0.2, 2)

cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(cframe.p, script.Parent.Model.EasternElfEars.Handle.Position)

rotValue = rotValue + 1

end)

To fix the error you provided here, try this;

cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
script.Parent.CurrentCamera = cam

local rotValue = 0

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local cframe = script.Parent.Bob.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotValue), math.rad(180)) * CFrame.new(0, -0.2, 2)
	cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(cframe.p, script.Parent.Bob.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
	
	rotValue = rotValue + 1
end)

If the normal version of the code works, this should work just as fine as well considering that the ‘lookAt’ component of the CFrame is now a Vector3 which prevents that error from happening. I will say the angles may need to be changed purely depending on the orientation of ‘Bob’ itself. Make sure to mark as correct if this helps you! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :+1:

Thanks, I have a little question if happened to know how to make a UiGridLayout fit on all device screens. You do not have to answer this.

#8

Any CellPadding or CellSize property needs to use Scale sizing instead of Offset to make it fit on all screen devices.

Am still confused I messed with it and it still doesn’t work.
