How do I make the character stay in air and face towards the mouse constantly with Force Constraints?

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    How do I make the player stay in the air, then make their body face the mouse. I don’t want to manually set cframe as this has caused me lag problems and choppy problems.
    What I want to achieve

  2. What is the issue?
    I got the goal where the object stays still, but I can’t seem to get the goal where the object faces towards the other object constantly.
    Example: What I tried

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I tried using the Force Constraints which I am new to, but i’m still confused (I used Align Orientation and Linear Velocity). I heard that AlignOrientation is a replacement for BodyGyro, but I don’t think that’s entirely true as the object only copies the other objects rotation, not facing towards the other object.

Here’s what I used:

Change the mode of AlignOrientation to OneAttachment. Then set the CFrame.

I got it where it faces one way, and when I rotate the attachment it rotates accordingly and that way constantly. Are you saying to set the cframe of the attachment repeatedly in a loop of the mouse position?

#4

No. If you’re familiar with BodyGyro, it has a property called CFrame. For compatibility reasons, AlignOrientation also has this, so you don’t need to set the attachment CFrame separately.

#5

ohhh so i would just set the align orientation cframe as the look vector of mouse?

#6

Yes, but you can’t just do that. Just set the CFrame to workspace.CurrentCamera.Focus and it should work.

#7

im confused, why would i do that and on a server or local script? or both?

#8

You should be doing that on a local script.

#9

but if i do it local then the turning wont be displayed for others?

#10

it will display for others if it has the same network owner.

#11

what does that mean? and would i need to set that?

#12

no. You can use the code just as it is.
