Ok. so. I want to make a horror game where there will be parts that follow your character (lets say a head) it’s kinda hard to explain so here are some photos:

So yeah, I kinda need help with a script that makes a part rotate and like get locked onto your avatar but then locks onto other people too so not just you.

heres a gif

the game is here so you can see what i REALLY mean for yourself:

and the stud guy also follows you with its head from like across the map too if you’re the only one in the server.

i currently have:

local radius=20
local npc = script.Parent
local head = npc:WaitForChild('Head')

local function rotationDifference(oldCF,newCF)
    --self explanatory
    return (newCF.lookVector - oldCF.lookVector).magnitude
end

while wait(1) do
    --loop through characters
    local cf = head.CFrame
    local p = cf.p

    for _,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local char = player.Character
        if char then
            local ppart = char.PrimaryPart
            if ppart then

                local pos = ppart.Position
                local isInRadius = (pos-p).magnitude < radius
                if isInRadius then
                    --found close character
                    if rotationDifference(cf , CFrame.new(p,pos)) < 1.25 then
                        --character is in front

                        --look at character until it leaves or goes behind
                        repeat
                            p = head.Position
                            pos = ppart.Position
                            head.CFrame = CFrame.new(p,pos)
                            wait(1/20)
                        until ( (pos-p).magnitude > radius ) or ( rotationDifference(cf , head.CFrame ) > 1.25 )
                        head.CFrame = (cf-cf.p)+p --old rotation
                        break
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

any help would be appreciated, basically i just kinda need help with the script that the part has inside of it…

thanks for reading

If you want it to be hovering, you should remove its gravity.
Use tween to make the movement smoother.

local tween= game:GetService('TweenService')
local move= tween:Create(Head,TweenInfo.new(1),{Position=ppart.Position})
move:Play()
