How would I alter a character's orientation using Align Orienation withought breaking the humanoid's AutoRotate feature?

If you put this in StarterCharacterScripts it should turn the character 90 degrees when they spawn, you can probably manipulate it to work for yours pretty easily.

local char = script.Parent
local HRP = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local align = Instance.new("AlignOrientation")
align.Attachment0 = HRP:WaitForChild("RootRigAttachment")
align.PrimaryAxisOnly = true
align.Mode = Enum.OrientationAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
align.Parent = HRP

local goalOrientation = Vector3.new(0,0,math.rad(90))

align.PrimaryAxis = goalOrientation

Doesnt rlly solve my issue, im tryna make my code work withought making the Align Orientation affect the Y axis, because putting torque on y axis breaks Auto Rotate. Basically, i just want align orientaion to rotate X and Z but ignore and dont put any torque on Y.

Wait so, what axis do you want the character to rotate on? I’m not quite following.

I want to be able to manipulate character left and right tilt and forward and back lean withought applying torque to the Y axis, which is left and right turn i believe, so that when i manipulate the tilt and lean, the “Auto-Rotate” feature, which rotates ur character in the direction ur walking, still works.

You could try patching the Motor6D joints in real-time.
Here’s a really bare-bones client-side only example for R15:

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

local function update()
	local player = assert(Players.LocalPlayer)
	local character = player.Character

	local upperTorso = if character
		then character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso")
		else nil

	if upperTorso and upperTorso:IsA("BasePart") then	
		local rootPart = character.PrimaryPart
		local waist = upperTorso:FindFirstChild("Waist")

		if rootPart and waist and waist:IsA("Motor6D") then
			local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
			local cameraCF = camera.CFrame
			
			local camLook = cameraCF.LookVector
			local camRight = cameraCF.RightVector
			local rootLook = rootPart.CFrame.LookVector
			
			local pitch = rootLook:Dot(camRight)
			local yaw = camLook.Y
			
			local waistPos = waist.C0.Position
			waist.C0 = CFrame.Angles(yaw, pitch, 0) + waistPos
		end
	end
end

Nope, forgot to mention we are using custom mesh deformation chars

Try patching the rotation/transform of a bone with a similar strategy?

Is there a way to do this via rotating the HRP rather than a motor6d or bone?

#10

If you try to rotate the HumanoidRootPart directly you’ll be fighting against the Humanoid’s PID controller attempting to keep it up-right. It would be better to rotate some joint or bone that is connected to the HumanoidRootPart instead.
