How to make a character temporarily face one way

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello developers, I’m once again asking for you help.

—// Problem \—
So there’s an issue I’ve just encountered today, I’ve made a move where a player stomps on the victim’s head (it might sound pretty disturbing but I assure you, it’s not as horrifying as it sounds), the problem is that when a player uses shiftlock, the character faces the direction the camera is pointing at instead of just facing forward.

This is how I want the character to look like when the move is used:
https://gyazo.com/5a578601f01a130c25593f7865620426

Please ignore the move, the one I’m talking about is how the character is just temporarily facing forward and faces the direction you move after the attack finishes.
I apologise for the vague amount of information

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Do you have a script which you could provide?

The script is really messy, I’m planning on making it more neat in the future.

killerHrp.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(killerHrp.Position, victimHrp.Position)

Here’s a general gist of what you need to implement, this will face the killer’s character in the direction of the victim’s character.

This is the grab script:

	local creator_tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
	creator_tag.Value = player
	creator_tag.Name = "creator"
	creator_tag.Parent = humanoid
end

function untagHumanoid(humanoid)
	if humanoid ~= nil then
		local tag = humanoid:findFirstChild("creator")
		if tag ~= nil then

	end
end

Apologies, I didn’t mean “victimHrp.CFrame”, I meant “victimHrp.Position” instead.

It still does not seem to work

I’m not sure what you mean, the killer’s character appears to be facing the victim’s character.

If you need this to occur for some length of time then you’ll need to do it within a loop until the move has ended.

Again, it was just an example of what you should be doing, assuming you want the killer’s character to face the victim’s character.

Yes, but the character faces a difference direction when I use shiftlock.

#10

Then you could perform the operation within a loop to circumvent that, and then close the loop once the move has finished.

#11

Sorry if this is already solved but try Humanoid.AutoRotate?
