Need help with rotating turret's barrel like in armored patrol

[ender_dragon7273737]

I need help with making my turret rotate in the like in armored patrol

1. I want to make an armored patrol turret that rotates on mouse click like this

2. I dont know how to make the turret’s barrel rotate in the y axis

3. *I couldn’t make the turret rotate in the y axis

-- Turret Code
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

local BaseModel = game.Workspace.Base
local turret = BaseModel.Turret
local Base = BaseModel.Mount
local weld = Base.Weld


local turretOffset = weld.C0

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local turretCF = Base.CFrame * turretOffset
	local Pos = turretCF:PointToObjectSpace(mouse.Hit.p)
	local Math = math.atan2(-Pos.x, -Pos.z)
    
	weld.C0 = turretOffset * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesYXZ(0, Math, 0)
	
end)

There are many ways to do it, one is like your angle way.

Personally I use CFrame.lookAt then convert it into orientation then constraint and clamp the orientation. This allows me to control the rotation along the Y axis which is yaw left and right (look left and right), and the X axis which controls the pitch (look up and down).

Hello there, it’s me again with a small resource that I see lacking on the forum with many,unsolved, or ones that have the general idea but incomplete scripting support questions. Credits @sleitnick, PID Controller from AeroGameFramework, works great but semi modified to accommodate Vector3 variables. @ThanksRoBama, Great tutorial on PID Controllers which had excellent yet simple explanation along with great examples. Never knew it was possible to just work with P alone. Summary What …

I want ONLY the barrel to rotate in the y axis and i dont know how to set up the module

I believe you meant X Axis rotation.

Because rotation along the y axis refers to this, which is what your turret is already doing:

The rule is known as the right hand rule and is commonly used within physics for stuff like angular velocity and torque. The convention is anticlockwise along the +Y axis when looking down from a birds eye view.

I believe you mean rotation up and down the Y axis, or rotation along the turrets local X axis So it should be something like this.

-- Turret Code
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

local BaseModel = game.Workspace.Base
local turret = BaseModel.Turret
local Base = BaseModel.Mount
local weld = Base.Weld


local turretOffset = weld.C0

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local turretCF = Base.CFrame * turretOffset
	local Pos = turretCF:PointToObjectSpace(mouse.Hit.p)
	local verticalAngle = math.atan2(Pos.Y, -Pos.z)
    
	weld.C0 = turretOffset * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesYXZ(verticalAngle, 0, 0)
	
end)

Similar to this

@ThanksRoBama

	local object_pitch_offset = pitchBase.CFrame:PointToObjectSpace(target.Position)
	local object_pitch_angle = math.atan2(object_pitch_offset.Y, -object_pitch_offset.Z)

BTW, my module also has a place file you can download from the GitHub page so you can play around with it.
