-what i want:

-what happens

If you are using Roblox physics then you can use AlignOrientation to rotate the object using this formula:

local rotation = CFrame.new(LastPosition,NewPosition)
LastPosition = NewPosition

hi!
what do you mean with (LastPosition,NewPosition)?

[iicloudsforeveriii (cloudy)]

NewPosition is the current position of your rocket. So:

local rocket = Your_Rocket
local LastPosition = rocket.Position
while rocket do
     local NewPosition = rocket.Position
     local Rotation = CFrame.new(LastPosition,NewPosition)
     LastPosition = NewPosition
     rocket.AlignOrientation.CFrame = Rotation
     task.wait()
end

this is the script i used
i know its not the best

local rocket = script.Parent
local click = rocket.ClickDetector
local thrust = rocket.VectorForce

click.MouseClick:Connect(function()

rocket.WeldConstraint:Destroy()

thrust.Enabled = true
wait(1)
thrust.Enabled = false


end)

Okay, so what you can do is insert an attachment instance in your rocket with an AlignOrientation instance with it. You can then set it’s Mode to OneAttachment and set the Attachment0 property to the attachment you just created and then use the code i provided.

it keeps disappearing
idk why i think i did a mistake with Attachment0

Is it possible for you to send me the place file?

Yes, now I recommend marking my post as the solution to let others know.

there is a small problem
The rocket flies backward

(The rocket automatically fires so please remove line 38 and 40.)

Works, thanks.
I’ll edit the script a bit, there’s a noticeable delay between launch and the gyro working.
