How to make character face other character?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey there! I’m Nepzerox, and I’m trying to create an admin system with a ‘to’ command. While I’m able to teleport the player to the other play, I need the teleported player to face the player, which I don’t currently know how to do. I know it involves CFrame.angles(), however I’m not very good with CFrame and need help.

My code:

	['Name'] = 'To',
	['Alias'] = nil,
	['Description'] = 'Teleports you to a player',
	['Arguments'] = {'[player]'},
	['PlayerRequired'] = true,
       -- ignore above, its just a table w/ information about the command
	['Script'] = function(args, players, config, mod)
		for i, v in pairs(players) do
			if v.Character and mod.Character then
				local char = v.Character
				
				mod.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -5)  
			end
		end
	end
}

use CFrame.lookAt.

quick demonstration:

character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(DESTINATION,POSITION_TO_LOOK_AT)

for you, it would be

mod.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.lookAt(char.HumanoidRootPart.Position,mod.Character.HumanoidRootPart)) -- 2nd argument is position to look at! (vector3)

I would just do something like

mod.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(char.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 0, -5), char.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

The second argument of a CFrame can be its ‘lookAt’ position.
Also, I think it’s better to use mod.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(). I’ve had really annoying problems with not using that in the past.

(I only just realised that someone replied, but I’ll add something anyway)

While this works, it doesn’t face the correct way.

That’s because the thing Kinesis is doing is “deprecated” and CFrame.LookAt has replaced it.
