Is there a more efficient way to make a part look at the player?

Help and Feedback Code Review

I recently made a script that makes it so that a part’s front face constantly looks at the player. It works, but I was wondering if there was any other way that is more efficent and smoother than constantly changing the CFrame in a loop.

-- "Part" is the part that turns towards the player
-- "Head" is the player's head.

while true do
	Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(Part.Position, Head.Position)
	wait()
end

Well you should use lerp which uses CFrame

you can try something like

while true do
task.wait()
Part:Lerp(Part.Position, Head.Position
end

I’ll send a working example.

edit, I believe your way is good but tween is also a good choice

Instead of while loop use RunService.RenderStepped

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(Part.Position, Head.Position)
end)

Thanks. I was hoping there would be something less awkward then a while loop

You could also use TweenService its what I use for smooth draggable objects/ui.

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local newCFrame = CFrame.new(Part.Position, Head.Position)
	TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo.new(0.2), {CFrame = newCFrame}):Play()
end)
