Making a HUMANOID MODEL face a PLAYER?

[CaptainTeemukas (TheDarkestSmiler)]

Hello! I’m making sort of an enemy attack where it picks a random player and attacks the player, but for some reason nothing works when i try to rotate the model to the player.

I have been looking for hours and i found nothing so i am making this.

Can anyone help on rotating a humanoid model to face a player?

Just do something like this with CFrame:lookAt:

local hum_model = replace.with.path
local randomplr = path.to.random.plr

hum_model.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame:lookAt(hum_model.PrimaryPart.Position, randomplr.Character.PrimaryPart.Position)

idk whats happening but everytime i use cframe.lookat the humanoid just doesnt appear [btw its a tentacle that uses an animation to go out of the ground and smacks the player]

[CaptainTeemukas (TheDarkestSmiler)]

	local function TentacleSmackAttack(PlayerSelected)
		print("Smack Started")
		local Tentacle = game.ReplicatedStorage.BossFightAttacks.TentacleSlam:Clone()
		game:GetService('RunService').Stepped:Wait()
		CanAttack = false
		Tentacle.Parent = workspace
		Tentacle.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Tentacle.PrimaryPart.Position, PlayerSelected.Character.PrimaryPart.Position)
		wait(0.5)
		local Anim = Tentacle.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.SlamAnim)
		wait(0.5)
		Anim:Play()
		Anim.Ended:Wait()
		print("Attack Finished")
		wait(1)
		CanAttack = true
		Tentacle:Destroy()
	end

this is where i used it. idk whats happening.

there are no errors and it works when i dont have the tentacle look at something

ohh i get it. it doesnt work cuz it tilts the model. so it is on its side and not facing up

[CaptainTeemukas (TheDarkestSmiler)]

this is what happens when it “tries” to face the player

and this is what is supposed to happen [ignore the green thing]

so the model is on its side when its supposed to face up.

also here is the face of everything in the model. im showing the humanoidrootparts face in this image.

[i use decals cuz idk where the old thing went to check the face of a part]

welp i’m stumped. idk what to do.

you can just use CFrame.Angles() to add an offset orientation to a model

just fiddle with

* CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), 0, 0) 

putting new values inside of a math.rad() if it isn’t 0

then just add it to the end of:

Tentacle.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Tentacle.PrimaryPart.Position, PlayerSelected.Character.PrimaryPart.Position) --[[ "* CFrame.Angles()" goes here ]]--

let me know if it works or not!

btw you can just use Tentacle:PivotTo(lookAtCFrame) instead of Tentacle.PrimaryPart.CFrame = lookAtCFrame
