Player orientation not saving when moving

[nanom46r (nanom)]

I have been trying to make a tank movement system for my game but I have been stuck on trying to rotate the player when A or D is pressed but the tank modal is not rotating with the HumanoidRootPart and the rotation is reset after the player moves

(A simplified version of my code)
(Also I am using a simple state machine for the held variables)

local MoveSpeed = 0.25
local WIsHeld = false
local AIsHeld = false

local HumanRoot = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

while true do
	if WIsHeld then
		script.Parent:PivotTo(CFrame.new(script.Parent:GetPivot().Position + HumanRoot.CFrame.LookVector * MoveSpeed))
	end
	if AIsHeld then
		
		local NewOrientation = HumanRoot.Orientation + Vector3.new(0,1,0)
		script.Parent.PrimaryPart.Orientation = NewOrientation
	end

	task.wait(0.01)

end

You should try to rotate it by manipulating CFrame property instead of Orientation property I think.

Maybe the PrimaryPart is not the HumanoidRootPart

Do this:

local NewOrientation = HumanRoot.Orientation + Vector3.new(0,1,0)
HumanRoot.Orientation = NewOrientation

The primary part is the HumanoidRootPart of the modal

I tried using the CFrame.Orientation of the part but it gave me a error saying “Orientation cannot be assigned to”

Try this:

local MoveSpeed = 0.25
local WIsHeld = false
local AIsHeld = false

local HumanRoot = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

while true do
	if WIsHeld then
		script.Parent:PivotTo(CFrame.new(script.Parent:GetPivot().Position + HumanRoot.CFrame.LookVector * MoveSpeed))
	end
	if AIsHeld then

		local NewOrientation = HumanRoot.Orientation + Vector3.new(0,1,0)
		script.Parent.PrimaryPart.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(math.rad(NewOrientation.X), math.rad(NewOrientation.Y), math.rad(NewOrientation.Z))
		--script.Parent.PrimaryPart.Orientation = NewOrientation
	end

	task.wait(0.01)

end

The HumanoidRootPart moves with the modal but it still resets the rotation when the W key is pressed

Because you are Pivoting the model to a CFrame with only the positional aspect and ignoring the rotational aspect of the model. Do this instead:

script.Parent:PivotTo(script.Parent:GetPivot() * CFrame.new(0, 0, -MoveSpeed))

[nanom46r (nanom)]

This works but the modal itself is not turning

Try this?

local MoveSpeed = 0.25
local WIsHeld = false
local AIsHeld = false

local HumanRoot = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

while true do
    local cframe = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)
	if WIsHeld then
		cframe *= CFrame.new(0, 0, -MoveSpeed)
	end

	if AIsHeld then
		cframe *= CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(1), 0)
	end

    script.Parent:PivotTo(script.Parent:GetPivot() * cframe)

	task.wait(0.01)

end

I solved the no rotating problem by using this in the

If AIsHeld then
   script.Parent:PivotTo(CFrame.new(script.Parent:GetPivot().Position) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(NewOrientation.X),math.rad(NewOrientation.Y),math.rad(NewOrientation.Z)
end
