when i teleport the part, it doesn’t face the way i want it to

also, how would i weld it so it stays where i want it to but still moves with the player?

local script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local book = game.Workspace.KieranBook
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.KieranBookEvent

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	if string.find(msg:lower(), "summon book") then
		event:FireServer()
	end
end)

server script

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.KieranBookEvent
local book = game.Workspace.KieranBook

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	book.CFrame = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-5) * CFrame.Angles(0, 100000, 0)
end)

i want it to face the way i am facing.

also, the weld just does the thing in the third picture

you’d do something like

local book = -- [[your book model here]]
local function summonBook(player)
     local character = player.Character
     if character and character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
          local summonedBook = book:Clone()
          local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
          weld.Part0 = summonedBook
          weld.Part1 = character.HumanoidRootPart
          weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, -5) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.deg(30))
          weld.Parent = book
          book.Parent = character
     end
end

now you may have to tweak some values around a bit until it works correctly (like C0 might need to be C1 instead, or Part0 may need to be swapped with Part1 instead).
you’ll also need to make sure the book isn’t anchored and that it’s massless. It’d also be a good idea to turn off collision for it.

this is what it looks like when i summon it with your code

its because of the weld, but again the book is still not facing me or in the correct orientation

i’ve fixed it!

i just used a weld constraint instead of a regular weld

local book = game.Workspace.KieranBook -- [[your book model here]]
	game.ReplicatedStorage.KieranBookEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
		local character = player.Character
		if character and character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
		local summonedBook = book:Clone()
		summonedBook.CFrame = character.UpperTorso.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-2)
		local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
		weld.Part0 = summonedBook
		weld.Part1 = character.UpperTorso
		weld.Parent = summonedBook
		summonedBook.Orientation = book.Orientation
		summonedBook.Parent = character
		summonedBook.Anchored = false
	end
end)

bit late on the reply but this bit here

weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, -5) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.deg(30))

is where you’d change the orientation

weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, -5) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.deg(180), math.deg(-60))

may have given you the orientation you were looking for
