LookVector is being inaccurate for some reason

#1

So I have a lock on system in my game, when I’m not locked onto a humanoid, the velocity works fine, it goes wherever I’m facing, I set my velocity to this:

HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector*200

But it just does this when I’m locked on and move in any direction that Isn’t forward or idle:

Can anyone help me?

Instead of setting it to the lookVector of the player’s Character, why not align the projectile directly to the target? If it’s locked on, then won’t the target always be the center of the screen?

local vec = CFrame.new(projectile.Position, target.Position).lookVector
projectile.Velocity = vec*speed
#3

unfortunately still doesnt work, unless im being dummy and i messed it up

	local vel = Instance.new('BodyVelocity',sslash)
	vel.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
	if p.Backpack.LockON.Target.Value ~= nil then
		local vec = CFrame.new(sslash.Position, workspace:FindFirstChild(p.Backpack.LockON.Target.Value.Name).Torso.Position).lookVector
		vel.Velocity = vec*200
	elseif p.Backpack.LockON.Target.Value == nil then
		vel.Velocity = hrp.CFrame.LookVector*200
	end

Is it still behaving the same way or does it do something different?

It’s behaving the same way, I dont think it changed anything

The only other suggestion I can offer is using CFrame:lerp() to make sure it does go directly to the target position.

--define your variables here
local projectile
local target

local hasTouched = false
projectile.Touched:connect(function(hit)
hasTouched = true
end)

local scale = 0
local speed = 200 -- Studs per second
local refreshSpeed = 0.1  --* 1 second
local spin = 0
local spinSpeed = 90 -- degrees per second
local startCF = projectile.CFrame
local distance = (target.Position - projectile.Position).Magnitude

projectile.CFrame = CFrame.new(projectile.Position, target.Position)  -- update rotation to face the target

while scale < 1 and hasTouched == false do
projectile.Anchored = true

scale = scale + ((1/distance)*speed)*refreshSpeed -- Calculate the rate of change, multiply by refresh rate

spin = spin + (spinSpeed*refreshRate) -- increase rotation


projectile.CFrame =  startCF:Lerp(target.CFrame, scale)-- move closer to the target
projectile.Orientation = projectile.Orientation - Vector3.new(projectile.Orientation.X, 0, 0) -- return orientation on X Axis to 0
projetile.CFrame = projectile.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(spin),0,0) -- rotate X axis accordingly

wait(refreshSpeed)
end

projectile.Touched:Disconnect()

This might not be the effect you’re going for though so imma leave it up to you.

alright thanks for the help, i appreciate it
