Hey there so basically im making a beatdown for a game and for the barrage I added a weld with the hit box but instead of the dummy looking at me it looks away so im tryna figure out how to use this look vector on humrp with a weld but i cant. Can anyone help me?

local Weld2 = Instance.new("Weld")
				Weld2.Part0 = HumRP
				Weld2.Part1 = enemyrp
				Weld2.C1 = CFrame.new(0,0,7) * HumRP.CFrame.LookVector * 1
				Weld2.Parent = HumRP

Have you tried using a WeldConstraint?

Try doing

Weld2.C1 = CFrame.new(0,0,7) * HumRP.CFrame.LookVector * -1

Basically, LookVectors describe the direction of the Front faces, you can use these to move a part forward in your forward direction. For example,

enemyrp.CFrame.Position + enemyrp.CFrame.LookVector * 5

If you’re trying to change the enemy’s orientation based on the player, I would use CFrame.Angles, but I’m not sure what other ways you could do this.

Weld2.C1 = CFrame.new(enemyrp.Position - Vector3.new(6.412, 3,-7)) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(enemyrp.Orientation.Y + 180),0)

This is how I did it, you can mess around with it or change it up to experiment. I recommend reading these topics below as this could get pretty confusing.
