  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to make the character aim vertically, like this:

  2. What is the issue?
    Uhhh I’m kinda dumb and I have no clue how to do this. I want to only rotate the arms and head while keeping the animation and I’m using animations with motor6ds. (and no i will not meticulously tween body parts)

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I’ve tried to make an invisible “fake” torso that the arms and head would be connected to and this torso would be rotated. I left the original torso connected to the legs so that the legs dont rotate. This didn’t work very well and the legs didn’t animate anymore.

I’m not asking for scripts or anything, more of a concept or like an explanation as to how something like this would work so that I can try and script it myself and learn something in the process.

I’ve already made a script that rotates the character on the Y axis towards where the camera is pointing but that doesn’t add to the realism enough for me personally.
