My skinned mesh npcs orientation keeps messing up and flinging him

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Since I have to manually orientate my skinned mesh I use look at to make it face the target its walking towards although it has collision issues. I’m not sure how I could implement a fix so any help is appreciated.

local hound = script.Parent
local humanoid = hound:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local houndRootPart = hound.PrimaryPart

local pathFindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local waypointFolder = workspace.Waypoints

local function getPath(destination)
	local pathParams = {
		["AgentHeight"] = 5,
		["AgentRadius"] = 30,
		["AgentCanJump"] = false,
	}
	local path = pathFindingService:CreatePath(pathParams)
	path:ComputeAsync(houndRootPart.Position, destination.Position)
	
	return path
end

local function walkTo(destination)
	local path = getPath(destination)
	
	for i, subWayPoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do
		houndRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(houndRootPart.Position, subWayPoint.Position)
		
		humanoid:MoveTo(subWayPoint.Position)
		humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end
end

local function wandering()
	for i, waypoints in pairs(waypointFolder:GetChildren()) do
		walkTo(waypoints)
	end
	return
end

while task.wait(2) do
	wandering()
end

I know there are probably other ways of fixing this, but have you tried rotating your Mesh 90° to the left in your 3D program and saving it, then loading that file into your MeshPart?

sorry but how would that help the rotation is fine its just the fact it sometimes changes the y rotation?

I thought Humanoid:MoveTo() always faced the direction the Humanoid was walking to anyway? If you update the position before the 8 second maximum time allowed for a MoveTo to finish then the NPC should always face toward you. Check the script(s) in the link I posted.
