You should look into these articles:

This might do you the trick though:

local npc = script.Parent

local function TurnToPlayer(player)
    local character = player.Character
    local primary = character.PrimaryPart
    local piv = npc:GetPivot().Position
    local designated = Vector3.new(primary.Position.X, piv.Y, primary.Position.Z)
    npc:PivotTo(CFrame.new(npc:GetPivot, designated))
end

to make the NPC smoothly look at the player, implement roblox’s TweenService!
