Problem with align orientation max torque

[targetframed (target)]

so im setting max torque to math.huge to get my npc to rotate faster. only problem is he spawns on his side when i join the game instead of upright.

when i set the maxtorque to something between 4000-12000 or something its fine and he’s upright but the rotation isn’t really fast and i want it to be more responsive.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
	p.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(c)
		-- Variables
		local hrp = c:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local plrHum:Humanoid = c:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local runanim = npc.run
		local runAnimTrack = catHumanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(runanim)
		local connection = nil
		local playing = false
		
		-- Create alignorientation to handle rotation
		alignOrientation.MaxTorque = math.huge -- Only rotate along the Y axis
		alignOrientation.PrimaryAxis = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
		alignOrientation.Responsiveness = 200
		alignOrientation.Parent = catHRP
		alignOrientation.Attachment0 = att
		alignOrientation.Mode = Enum.OrientationAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
		
		-- Function to smoothly rotate and move backward
		local function moveAway()
			local distance = (catHRP.Position - hrp.Position).Magnitude

			-- If player is close enough
			if distance < 15 then
				-- Smoothly rotate the NPC towards the player using BodyGyro
				alignOrientation.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(catHRP.Position, Vector3.new(hrp.Position.X, catHRP.Position.Y, hrp.Position.Z))

				-- Calculate a point 10 studs backwards and move there
				local backwardDirection = (catHRP.Position - hrp.Position).Unit * 10
				local targetPosition = catHRP.Position + backwardDirection
				catHumanoid.WalkToPoint = targetPosition
				catHumanoid.AutoRotate = false
				if not playing then
					runAnimTrack:Play()
					playing = true
					print("playing!")
				end
			else
				-- Stop the NPC if player is far
				catHumanoid.WalkToPoint = catHRP.Position
				--catHumanoid.AutoRotate = true
				runAnimTrack:Stop()
				playing = false
			end
		end

		-- Connect to RunService to check player's position every frame
		connection = rs.Stepped:Connect(moveAway)
		plrHum.Died:Connect(function()
			connection:Disconnect()
		end)
	end)
end)

oh mb i just had to put these into the stepped event scope

		alignOrientation.MaxTorque = math.huge
		alignOrientation.Responsiveness = 200

solution:

local npc = workspace:FindFirstChild("catr6") -- Replace with your NPC
local catHumanoid = npc:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local rs = game:GetService("RunService")
local catHRP = npc:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local alignOrientation = Instance.new("AlignOrientation", catHRP)
local att = Instance.new("Attachment", catHRP)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
	p.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(c)
		-- Variables
		local hrp = c:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local plrHum:Humanoid = c:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local runanim = npc.run
		local runAnimTrack = catHumanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(runanim)
		local connection = nil
		local playing = false
		
		-- Create alignorientation to handle rotation
		alignOrientation.MaxTorque = 0 -- Only rotate along the Y axis
		alignOrientation.PrimaryAxis = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
		alignOrientation.Responsiveness = 0
		alignOrientation.Attachment0 = att
		alignOrientation.Mode = Enum.OrientationAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
		
		-- Function to smoothly rotate and move backward
		local function moveAway()
			local distance = (catHRP.Position - hrp.Position).Magnitude

			-- If player is close enough
			if distance < 15 then
				-- Smoothly rotate the NPC towards the player using BodyGyro
				alignOrientation.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(catHRP.Position, Vector3.new(hrp.Position.X, catHRP.Position.Y, hrp.Position.Z))

				-- Calculate a point 10 studs backwards and move there
				local backwardDirection = (catHRP.Position - hrp.Position).Unit * 10
				local targetPosition = catHRP.Position + backwardDirection
				alignOrientation.Responsiveness = 200
				alignOrientation.MaxTorque = math.huge
				catHumanoid.WalkToPoint = targetPosition
				catHumanoid.AutoRotate = false
				if not playing then
					runAnimTrack:Play()
					playing = true
					print("playing!")
				end
			else
				-- Stop the NPC if player is far
				catHumanoid.WalkToPoint = catHRP.Position
				catHumanoid.AutoRotate = true
				runAnimTrack:Stop()
				alignOrientation.MaxTorque = 0
				alignOrientation.Responsiveness = 0
				playing = false
			end
		end

		-- Connect to RunService to check player's position every frame
		connection = rs.Stepped:Connect(moveAway)
		plrHum.Died:Connect(function()
			connection:Disconnect()
		end)
	end)
