Issues - player head bow look down

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I would like to do something like that, that when the player looks down the head tilts (as seen in the video) any idea how to get it?

when I try to rotate the player’s torso he dies :frowning:

What are you using to rotate it? I presume you should use CFrames.

I don’t personally know how to do it, but I know if you’re doing it via the Rotation property, it will kill them

Exactly, I tried it that way and the player died … could it be an animation?

I’m not exactly sure. It could be possibly modifying the Motor6D’s properties:
Motor6d API
(possibly the Transform property?)

What do you think about this? it could work? if I want to play an animation when the minimum limit is reached

-- Camera limitations function
local function limitCameraUpDown(minVal, maxVal, isTrue)
	if isTrue == true then
		RunService:BindToRenderStep("UpdateLoop", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value, function()
			local minCameraVal = minVal -- -34
			local maxCameraVal = maxVal -- 150
			local rX, rY, rZ = camera.CFrame:ToOrientation()
			local limX = math.clamp(math.deg(rX), minCameraVal, maxCameraVal)
			camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.p) * CFrame.fromOrientation(math.rad(limX), rY, rZ)
			
			if minCameraVal then
				-- Play bow animation
			end
		end)
	else
		warn('limitCameraUpDown is off')
	end
end

I don’t have access to my development computer right now, sorry.

Calm down, there’s no problem :smiley:

By any chance, do you know how I can evaluate if the CFrame of the camera is equal to the minimum value that I have in the function?

local normalCamera = camera.CFrame:ToOrientation()

-- Camera limitations function
local function limitCameraUpDown(minVal, maxVal, isTrue)
	if isTrue == true then
		RunService:BindToRenderStep("UpdateLoop", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value, function()
			local minCameraVal = minVal -- -34
			local maxCameraVal = maxVal -- 150
			local rX, rY, rZ = camera.CFrame:ToOrientation()
			local limX = math.clamp(math.deg(rX), minCameraVal, maxCameraVal)
			camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.p) * CFrame.fromOrientation(math.rad(limX), rY, rZ)
			
			if camera.CFrame == minCameraVal then
				-- Play bow animation
				print('playing anim')
			else
				print('not playing anim')
			end
		end)
	else
		warn('limitCameraUpDown is off')
	end
end

Try reading this: Making a player's head face a part using a Motor6D
As you’ve experienced when you break the Motor6D weld between the head and the torso the player dies.

but how can I do it if what I want is to do something like:

if camera.CFrame == minCameraVal then -- min val is -34 check script up
   -- Play bow animation
   print('playing anim')
else
   -- Play idle animation
   print('not playing anim')
end

I would like to condition between two values, in such a way that it reproduces an animation and in the else to return to idle

The issue here is an animation can’t be controlled to change to look at a certain Part.
