How to make the HumanoidRootPart point towards the camera?

I’m making my custom POV mechanic for the player, so I turned ‘AutoRotate’ off.

I would like to know how I could get the HumanoidRootPart to point in the direction of the mouse. I’m not the best with CFrames.

Anyone have any ideas?

The easiest way would be to use the (pos, lookAt)-constructor

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local plr = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()


local function onRenderStep()
    local char = plr.Character
    if not char then
        return
    end
    local hrp = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    if not hrp then
        return
    end
    local hrpPos = hrp.Position
    local dir = mouse.Hit.Position-hrpPos
    dir = Vector3.new(dir.X, 0, dir.Z)
    hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(hrpPos, hrpPos+dir)
end

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(onRenderStep)

That code only makes it rotate horizontally. If you want it to be able to rotate on any axis, remove this line:

dir = Vector3.new(dir.X, 0, dir.Z)
