How do I make a moving character face something?

[jackblue8]

I want an enemy to face the direction in which they are moving while chasing the player.

I can’t get the enemy to face the direction of movement, I’m using AlignPosition to move the enemy.

I’ve tried setting the enemy’s CFrame to face the player, both with CFrame.new and CFrame.LookAt, but both mess with movement. I’ve also tried to use bodyGyros, which didn’t work. I’ve searched the devforums but have been unsuccessful.

How would I make a player face a part?

So currently, it looks like this. And my code: local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() local humrp = char.HumanoidRootPart local part = workspace.Part while true do humrp.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(humrp.Position, part.Position) task.wait() end What I want: To have the player face the part without leaning, but my brain is too small for the maths.

How can I make a player face towards a part's direction?

I want to make it so the player faces a part after a Touched event, but when I try Cframe.New, it teleports the player to the specified part and at looks at it at an awkward position. I simply want it so that the player would face in the part’s general direction.

Make a Model look at a part

Hello guys, i’m trying to make a House System with models that are already made, like in Adopt me. But I’m having trouble centering the house models. There is a centralized part in the middle of the map that serves as a reference, where the models should look. I’ve tried everything but nothing works how do i make my models always look at a fixed position, do i need to set primaryparts or something?

How to make a character face a specific direction?

Hey, so, I’m using moveto() for the player and NPCs, and I was wondering how I can make them face a specific direction after being moved to? I did some research and found this to add into my function: function onTouched(hit) local human = hit.Parent local rotationCFrame = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0) if human then human:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(human:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() * rotationCFrame) script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched) Now, I don’t recommend doing this, because in order f…

CFrame is the way to go, and probably use RenderStepped or something, but if it’s messing with movement you are probably changing the position aswell, but you only need to change the rotation

Yeah, now that I think about it, I probably am editing the position of the character, not just the orientation. But is this method going to cause lag if there are over 200 npcs firing this about every 0.4 seconds or sooner? I’m just sort of hoping I can use something like AlignOrientation to align the x and z axis of the character to the direction of movement without firing an event too often, like with AlignPosition.

I saw that video, how could I have forgotten? I’ll try to figure out IKControl and give it a try.

So I figured out how to make the humanoid root part face a part using IKControl, but now I have to figure out how to make it face the direction of movement without causing a ton of lag. Any ideas?
