I want to achieve a simple mechanic to make my tank’s cannon face toward a certain Vector2 point on screen. I’ve tried this:
cannon.CFrame = CFrame.new(Center) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(90, 0, 0) * CFrame.fromAxisAngle(Vector3.FromNormalId(Enum.NormalId.Top), Angle) * CFrame.new(0, -cannon.Size.Y/2, 0) * CFrame.new(0, 0, 1)
and it works for the most part, although when looking closer at the part, you can see it’s not correctly aligned.
Video (notice how when I rotate it the angle of the cannon it kinda rotates to the right) I only want there to be vertical rotations..
Here’s what I tried
Full code:
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Center = workspace.Bot.Model.Pointer.Attachment.WorldPosition
local CenterPos = ConvertToVec2(Camera:WorldToScreenPoint(Center))
local Position = Vector3.new(mouse.Y - frameCenter.Y, mouse.X - frameCenter.X)
local Difference = Position - CenterPos
local Angle = math.atan(Difference.X/Difference.Y)
if Position.Y > CenterPos.Y then
Angle = Angle + math.rad(270)
else
Angle = Angle + math.rad(90)
end
local cannon = local_tank.Model.Cannon
cannon.CFrame = CFrame.new(Center) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(90, 0, 0) * CFrame.fromAxisAngle(Vector3.FromNormalId(Enum.NormalId.Top), Angle) * CFrame.new(0, -cannon.Size.Y/2, 0) * CFrame.new(0, 0, 1)
Any help is appreciated!
