I think you mean something like in this game here

if so this is done by turning off auto rotate on the humanoid and then setting the Cframe rotation directly or tweening it fast to face the new direction depending on player input

the rotation should be on 1 axis that game the rotation is X axis but depends on how your levels are layed out

easy way to do this is for say Looking left do

CFrame.new(HRP.CFrame.p, Vector3.new(HRP.CFrame.p.X - 10, HRP.CFrame.p.Y, HRP.CFrame.p.Z))

and looking back right

CFrame.new(HRP.CFrame.p, Vector3.new(HRP.CFrame.p.X + 10, HRP.CFrame.p.Y, HRP.CFrame.p.Z))

Yes this is very old code of mine so its not the best

so i added that code but now all thats happening is my back is facing my camera no matter what i do when i move

#4

no matter what i try i cant get it to work

#5

what is your main axis you are going to use like left to right on the screen?

#6

yep, left to right ᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼

#7

what axis though like X or Z axis?

#8

where would i check that? sorry im just getting into stuff like this

#9

in the properties window while dragging your character left to right the way it would move what axis changes on like Origin Position

#10

its on the x axis, moving to the right the x value goes up, going left makes it go down

#11

can you show me the script where it changes direction think you may have them backwards

well in that i don’t see where you are changing the characters rotation but something like this can do it but this is a simple one

Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal('MoveDirection'):Connect(function()
	if Humanoid.MoveDirection.X > .5 then
		HRP.CFrame = CFrame.new(HRP.CFrame.p, Vector3.new(HRP.CFrame.p.X + 2, HRP.CFrame.p.Y, HRP.CFrame.p.Z))
	elseif Humanoid.MoveDirection.X < -.5 then
		HRP.CFrame = CFrame.new(HRP.CFrame.p, Vector3.new(HRP.CFrame.p.X - 2, HRP.CFrame.p.Y, HRP.CFrame.p.Z))
	end 
end)

and the .5 on those are because mobile doesnt go all the way to 1 value sometimes
