currently i only have this function, it works fine but it only tweens the whole npc. i want only for it to be the head

script.CFrame.Value = model.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame

local function lookAtPlayer(target)
	
	local connection

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)
	local tween = TweenService:Create(
		script.CFrame,
		tweenInfo,
		{Value = CFrame.new(model.PrimaryPart.Position, Vector3.new(target.Position.X, model.PrimaryPart.Position.Y, target.Position.Z))}
	)
	
	tween:Play()
	
	connection = RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
		local old = script.CFrame.Value
		model.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(model.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position) * old - old.Position
		tween.Completed:Connect(function()
			connection:Disconnect()
		end)
	end)
end

if you want to use motor6d to help me achieve this, here is the neck motor

neckMotor = model.Torso.Head

Just replace each mention of the “HumanoidRootPart” instance with the “Head” instance if you only want to manipulate the head of the NPC’s character model.

script.CFrame.Value = model.Head.CFrame

local function lookAtPlayer(target)

	local connection

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)
	local tween = TweenService:Create(
		script.CFrame,
		tweenInfo,
		{Value = CFrame.new(model.Head.Position, Vector3.new(target.Position.X, model.Head.Position.Y, target.Position.Z))}
	)

	tween:Play()

	connection = RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
		local old = script.CFrame.Value
		model.Head.CFrame = CFrame.new(model.Head.CFrame.Position) * old - old.Position
		tween.Completed:Connect(function()
			connection:Disconnect()
		end)
	end)
end
