Player Facing Wrong Way

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a script for when the player joins, they are moved to their zone, but face the wrong direction. I use :MoveTo, and I don’t believe it has an orientation property. I believe :PivotTo or CFrame.lookAt could be used, but I am not familiar with either of them. Right now, the player spawns in correctly and at the correct part, but they face to the left.

Here is the code:

local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")

local Manager = require(ServerScriptService.PlayerData.Manager)

local Zones = game:GetService("Workspace").Zones

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		task.wait()
		char:MoveTo(Zones[player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Zone").Value].Position)
		
		print("s")
		
		hum.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			if tonumber(hit.Name) == player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Zone").Value + 1 then
				Manager.IncreaseZone(player)
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Please help. Thanks!

Have you got any screenshots/videos of this occurring? It’ll help identify the issue more clearly.

The player is turnt to the left, but they should be rotated another 90 degrees to the right, facing the wall.

Have you tried rotating the part 90 degrees?

Yes, it doesn’t fix the problem.

Is your game R6 ?

Yes, it is. Is that the problem perhaps?

#9

Not necessarily a problem but it could make this a bit more difficult as I’d planned to help you use :PivotTo

#10

Ah, so are you still able to help?

#11

Yes, I think you’ll need to add an offset to the character but that won’t be too difficult

#12

Perfect, how would I go about it then?

#13

I’m going to do a quick rundown on PivotTo because I’m pretty sure it’ll fix this issue

To use PivotTo you’ll want to start with the PrimaryPart of a model if you don’t have one set by default. The Primary part on R6 characters is the Head so we’ll need to add a vertical offset because I think it might get stuck otherwise.

You can do this with

char:PivotTo(Zones[player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Zone").Value].CFrame * CFrame.new(0,1.5,0))
#14

It turns the player upside down initially, and since it’s on the head, it sometimes turns the right direction, but sometimes the wrong direction. Is there a way to do the rotation with CFrame?

#15

Could you send a screenshot so I can see what’s happening?

Player is upside down.

#17

As a quick test of something could you turn the 1.5 into a -1.5? I’m curious to see what it does.

#18

Same thing happens; the player is stuck upside-down.

#19

Okay, you could do * CFrame.angles(math.rad(180),0,0)) after the CFrame.new(0,1.5,0)

#20 
char:PivotTo(Zones[player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Zone").Value].CFrame * CFrame.new(0,-1.5,0) * CFrame.angles(math.rad(180),0,0))

Attempt to call a nil value.

#21

Oh my bad, it’s CFrame.Angles I forgot to capitalize the “A”
