How to make my pet stay behind me at all times?

[CoolJohnnyboy (John)]

I have a pet system I am currently working on, and it’s going well currently, except for one small detail.

Depending on which axis my character is facing, the pet will float either slightly in front or slightly behind me, as seen below.

I want it to be slightly behind me at all times. How would I do this? Attached is my code:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local clone = game.ServerStorage.Duck:Clone()
	local posHolder = Instance.new("AlignPosition",clone.PrimaryPart)
	
	posHolder.MaxForce = math.huge
	posHolder.Mode = Enum.PositionAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
	posHolder.Attachment0 = clone.PrimaryPart.Attachment
	
	local gyro = Instance.new("AlignOrientation",clone.PrimaryPart)
	gyro.Mode = Enum.OrientationAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
	gyro.Attachment0 = clone.PrimaryPart.Attachment
	
	gyro.MaxTorque = math.huge
	
	clone.Parent = char
	
	while wait() do
		posHolder.Position = char.PrimaryPart.Position + Vector3.new(0,1,2)
		gyro.CFrame = char.PrimaryPart.CFrame
	end

Code isn’t the best right now, currently in the very early stages of this system and I’m more focused on getting the basics down

Try this

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local clone = game.ServerStorage.Duck:Clone()
local posHolder = Instance.new("AlignPosition",clone.PrimaryPart)

posHolder.MaxForce = math.huge
posHolder.Mode = Enum.PositionAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
posHolder.Attachment0 = clone.PrimaryPart.Attachment

local gyro = Instance.new("AlignOrientation",clone.PrimaryPart)
gyro.Mode = Enum.OrientationAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
gyro.Attachment0 = clone.PrimaryPart.Attachment

gyro.MaxTorque = math.huge

clone.Parent = char

while task.wait() do
   posHolder.Position = char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position + char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.LookVector * -2 + char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.UpVector * 1
   gyro.CFrame = char.PrimaryPart.CFrame
end

Yep, this works! Thank you so much for such a fast reply!

Also I can explain why it works aswell its because before you were using world space coordinates which are relative to the world, but I changed to be relative to the axis the player is facing which will make it always be behind, your welcome!
