How would I make a model rotate slowly to align with another part?

As the title says, I want to rotate a model slowly so the model will be facing the part itself
Here’s a little drawing of what I mean

I know lookAt() exists but it’s not smooth at all, it more like teleports constantly to the location instead of rotating slowly.

Thank you for reading or even helping :slight_smile:

You could use TweenService or AlignOrientation

Lerping the CFrame could do it, but I’d recommend TweenService

You could still use lookAt(), but instead of immediately setting that to the model’s CFrame, lerp it every frame. I presume you already have some code ready to move the model. If so, you can just make a variable that contains the lookAt() and set the CFrame of the model via lerping.

So in your code that runs every frame, you could do this

local primaryPart = model.PrimaryPart.CFrame
local lookAt = CFrame.lookAt(primaryPart.CFrame, (part to look at).CFrame)
local lerped = primaryPart.CFrame:Lerp(lookAt,0.1)
model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(lerped)

With some changes to suit your needs

There are probably some other methods, but this is what I thought of, it’s going to move it linearly so if taht’s not what you want, then use something else like TweenService
