Making a model constantly look the direction of a part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make a script that will constantly update a model (rigged with welds + a primarypart) to constantly look towards another part.


This is what I have gotten so far, and I want the camera to rotate towards the red part.

I have tried numerous other posts answers but couldn’t seem to get it working myself.

I’m pretty sure CFrame.lookAt() will help
Which you can find here

Do you have any examples of using this? I am still a bit confused on CFrames as a whole.

example

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
   local cf = Model:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
   -- this gets the model's CFrame if it has a primary part (required)
   Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.lookAt(cf.Position, Target.Position))
   -- this sets the cframe to look at the part
end)

A CFrame is the Position and Orientation of a part.
