Use the HumanoidRootPart’s LookVector to advance the part in the same direction as the HumanoidRootPart

So,

clonedFX.Position = humanoidRootPart.Position + humanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 5 -- 5 studs in front

Or, you can use the HumanoidRootPart’s CFrame and multiply a CFrame with a blank rotation but with a position to advance it:

clonedFX.CFrame = humanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-5) -- 5 studs, might have to switch axes and +/-

Right now, it faces up. How do I rotate it so it faces forward?

clonedFX.CFrame = humanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-5) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(90)) -- might have to switch x/z and -/+

Hey man, have a great day. You really saved me there. I only just started scripting a month ago. You must be a great scripter. Again, thanks.
