Orienting Welded Part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to get a welded part to look at a certain location however the tween I use does nothing to the orientation of the welded part. This is the current tween I am using to do so.

local info1 = TweenInfo.new(dt,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local weld1 = turret.Base.BasePart.Pivot
local part1 = weld1.Part1
ts:Create(part1, info1, {CFrame = CFrame.new(weld1.Part1.CFrame.Position,location)}):Play()

You can’t change a welded part’s orientation like this, however you can tween weld1 object and also use C1 property in the goals table, not CFrame.

I tried to change the code to this and the result is a little strange

local info1 = TweenInfo.new(dt,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local weld1 = turret.Base.BasePart.Pivot
ts:Create(weld1, info1, {C1 = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,0),location)}):Play()

I don’t understand what is strange about it?

#5

the turret should be aiming toward the center of the larger gui but acts like it is inversed.

#6

Did you use the turret gui position to world position or the mouse position?

#7

the location is the mouse hit position

#8

You should be setting the turret gui position to the mouse position.
