How to make player face a part [SOLVED]

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

So, this test script here makes my character look at a block:
image

local MyPart = script.Parent

local player

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

player = plr

end)

repeat wait() until player ~= nil

local char = player.Character

local root = char.HumanoidRootPart

while wait() do

root.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(root.Position, Vector3.new(MyPart.Position.X, root.Position.Y, MyPart.Position.Z))

end

IT WORKS. but my character keeps teleporting back to their spot, so i cant move.
any advice?

Just do

CFrame.LookAt(MyPart.Position , MyPart.Position)
#3

When I do that, it just insta-kills me and stops working.

the Position of the HumanoidRootPart never changes, only the CFrame does. Also, in a server script, this wouldn’t be smooth at all. Use a local script inside of StarterGui.

local lookpart = --reference part
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

RS.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    if plr.Character and plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
        plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position, lookpart.Position)
    end
end)
