LookVector the same regardless of part orientation

but the functions used are, for Example:

I’m not using the functions, so I don’t see why this matters.

@DasKairo

So It doesnt really make sense to why you are using two Ray’s instead of one, and why you are using a older system for a newer one.

@FloofyNezzled

(I make the rays separate to pass them into a function to convert them into parts)

I am stumped… I made a simpler script to test yours and it works fine:

It rotates 90 degrees each time then places a red brick at the end of the ray:

(this is after its gone around 360 degrees already)

the print statement is showing the cframe look vector updated as well:

Im very confused to why yours isnt working

Yeah, same. When I looked it up, my script was always what people used.

Then for the Ray, you dont need to raycast, you only need to worry about workspace:Raycast depending on what youre using it for, all you can do this just this:

local origin, dir = part.Position, part.CFrame.LookVector*5
local cast = workspace:Raycast(origin, dir, params)

Nothing changes

So just 1 more time, you say that this print statement print("NEW RAYS", part.CFrame.LookVector) is printing the same vector each time, regardless of how the brick is rotated? could it at all be possible that the turn function is referencing a different part than the heartbeat function is? That print is probably the most surefire test to see if the part is actually being changed… if its not printing different values than i can only conclude that your turn function is rotating a different part than what you are taking the position and lookvector from in the heartbeat function.

Try adding a part parameter to turn just to be sure:

local function turn(part, direction)
		turning = true
		local mult = if direction == "left" then 1 else -1
		for i=0, 90 * mult, mult do
			task.wait()
         part.Orientation += Vector3.new(0, mult, 0)
		end
		turning = false
	end

and then call it in the heartbeat:

if --[[math.random(1, 3) == 1 or]] frontCast and frontCast.Instance then
				print("turning left")
				turn(part, "left")
				turned = true
			end

if --[[math.random(1, 3) == 1 or]] frontCast and frontCast.Instance then
				print("turning right")
				turn(part, "right")
			end

Yeah, nothing changes. I don’t see the point in changing it.

Try adding a part parameter to turn just to be sure:

Part is defined only once, and it’s also literally the only part not in a folder, but I’ll test this.

This somehow is the solution. No idea why this works, but it does. Thank you so much for your help!
