What do you want to achieve?
MainMissilePartVar(Which is a variable in my script) to face the front face of its self, in other words the only way it can face is wherever the front face of MainMissilePartVar is pointing.
What is the issue?
Their is no problem I just simply do not know how to do it.
*NOTE: I AM NOT TRYING TO FIX A SCRIPT I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS
Their is more code but that is pretty much all you need to know
local MainMissilePartVar = script.Parent.MainMissilePart
The issue with making a Part face wherever it is facing is that if anything causes it to go âoff courseâ or rotate it will just continue to travel off course.
How are you making the missile move? CFraming? Velocity? We need more information in order to help you with your issue.
Well it moves with velocity but I used CFrame to make it look the way I want to cause its a guided missile.
I am not sure but you can probably use Rocket.CFrame.LookVector
CFrame.lookAt() will do what you want to accomplish, alternatively CFrame.new()
So your script would look like this:
local part = game.Workspace.Part
local target = game.Workspace.Target
part.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(part.Position, target.Position)
However, such a system is probably not ideal for a missile system because the part would have no physics, youâd have to repeatedly update the position and lookAt CFrame and it would clip through parts.
The more realistic approach is to use bodymovers. Something known as a RocketPropulsion bodymover. So add it into the part, and do the following:
local part = game.Workspace.Part
local target = game.Workspace.Target
part.RocketPropulsion.Target = target
part.RocketPropulsion:Fire()
Hey thanks for trying to help but unfortunetly this isnât what I need, what I need is for when the game starts, it gets the front face of a position, and then only travel in that kind of line.
use heartbeat to change the cframe of a body gyro. After the missile hits, disconnect the heartbeat.
Then this is what youâd want. Itâll move in the front direction of the part.
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local part = game.Workspace.Part
local speed = 2
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
part.Position = part.Position + part.CFrame.LookVector * speed
end)
That wonât work because iâm pretty sure its not anchored. If it is it would look very choppy
Hey probably should of explained this better my fault but I dont want to move the part as I already have a tween to move the part, I just dont want the part to wobble everywhere while its going straight up, without having to anchor parts.
use a body gyro 
It is smooth and doesnt not require anchors
Could you tell me the settings for it? cause I have tired it and it hasnt worked
That wonât work because iâm pretty sure its not anchored. If it is it would look very choppy
It works as I have tested it, and if you read my previous post I suggested the use of bodymovers to combat choppiness.
well u do bodygyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(missile.Position, target.Position) and use a heartbeat to make it change every frame.

Do you know what VectorForce is?
No I do not -------------------
Hello there.
I have read your post and the comments listed here. But I still donât fully understand what you are trying to do.
There is a plugin for this:
If you want to use this in a script you could look in the source code and see how they find the front of the part and make it for a script!
Why use a plugin when itâs built into Studio?
