How do I make the Character look at the mouse?

I’m trying to get the character to look at the cursor, but I’m not sure how. I tried using BodyGyros, which worked but was very sluggish. I even tried lowering the Dampening and increasing the P on the BodyGyro, but that didn’t help. I also attempted to use CFrame.lookat, but that did not work either. The character just rotated in an odd way.

Hmm… can you share your code so I can take a look at it?

Alright, here is my code

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local BodyGyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro", Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart)
BodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
BodyGyro.D = 5
BodyGyro.P = 10^4
BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new()

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
	while true do
		BodyGyro.CFrame = Mouse.Hit
		game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait()
	end			
end))

Instead of “Mouse.Hit”, use “Mouse.Position”

I don’t think that would work since it is a BodyGyro

What is your character doing now with your current code?

#7

It is looking at the cursor, but it is very sluggish

#8

To clarify what do you mean by sluggish?

Fixed it

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local BodyGyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro", Player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"))
BodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(0, math.huge, math.huge)
BodyGyro.D = 5
BodyGyro.P = 10^4
BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new()

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
	while true do
		BodyGyro.CFrame = Mouse.Hit
		game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait()
	end			
end))

It feels very choppy and laggy.

You could lerp it

BodyGyro.CFrame = BodyGyro.CFrame:Lerp(Mouse.Hit, 0.1)

This should help
