Hey there! so, im not too familiar with CFrames so i came to the dev forum to ask these questions. i have no idea on how to do this.
how would i face the part to the root face’s front? I have searched and tried everything and it still doesn’t work.
Thanks!!
There’s a CFrame method called lookAt that does exactly this. It takes two Vector3s as arguments:
local origin = workspace.SomePart.Position
local lookAtPoint = (targetChar.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -1)).Position
workspace.SomePart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(origin, lookAtPoint)
If I didn’t multiply it by the right axis, you can modify the offset until the results look appropriate.
Doesn’t work, i don’t see the part idk why
(Client)
while task.wait() do
if cg and root then
local origin = cg.Position
local lookAtPoint = (root.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -1)).Position
cg.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(origin, lookAtPoint)
end
end
It works fine for me. Any output??
No, wonder if its because of the cg properties
Where’s your script located?
fillchars
StarterCharacterScripts
also, i just realized it only rotates the part, how would i make it so it goes into the player too?
i tried
cg.CFrame = root.CFrame
didn’t work
Do you want the part to gradually move towards the player’s facing direction??
Yes
sorry for not actually making it clear in the post 
You could use an AlignPosition constraint. Give me a second I’ll make a quick demo for you
It spins randomly when it gets near to the player
also, im pretty sure the first one doesn’t work and just goes to near spawn sometimes it works
(random spinning)
