How To Align A Part to a wall that is orientated

I want to make align a part with a wall when I hit the ray cast and Idk how here’s what a script that just makes the person look at the wall and be on the wall but I don’t know how to orientation the character if the player goes up and down.

HRP.CFrame = CFrame.new(HRP.CFrame.p,Vector3.new(HRP.Position.X - Normal.x,HRP.Position.Y,HRP.Position.Z - Normal.z)) 
bodygyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(HRP.CFrame.p,Vector3.new(HRP.Position.X - Normal.x,HRP.Position.Y,HRP.Position.Z - Normal.z))

Sorry but, any more information on exactly what you want? Like a contextual use-case scenario like for example wall climbing or a wall stick mechanism.

Wall climbing and that’s what’s get them on on the wall

#4

What do you mean by orientating the character when climbing up?

Yep, I’m confused on what orientation means in this scenario as well, forgot to ask about that thanks.

A gif or video showing the problem will be really helpful as well.

However for the code given I recommend splitting it up into seperate variables and using the new CFrame.lookAt constructor

local currentPlayerPos = HRP.CFrame.Position
local surfaceNormal = Normal
local lookAt = currentPlayerPos-surfaceNormal

HRP.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(currentPlayerPos, lookAt) 
bodygyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(currentPlayerPos, lookAt)

this should make the player look at a point towards the wall from the player’s position.

Don’t Worry about the Animation but here sorry that I have given it earlier.

Would you mind converting that to a file type that will embed so that I don’t have to download it (for safety’s sake)?

Yeah, I recommend using imgur since it embeds automatically onto Discourse unlike streamable. I did it for you lol:

Anyways the problem with the original code is that the CFrame only orientates in the XZ plane. As seen in the vector 3 construction for the CFrame.new() parameter for the look at the position below:

Try using this below which should make the player look towards the wall via vector maths with the surface normal and the player position which I gave above a well.
