Rocket-like projectile rotation

[Uraeust]

I want to make my projectile rotate depending on where it is going like a rocket. If it is going up, its face will be rotated towards air and it will rotate towards ground when it starts to fall down. Like this:

How can I achieve that? I am using fastcast module.

You could make a script that takes the velocity of the rocket and then orient it after doing some calculations. Because having a positive Y value means it points more up, having a negative Y value means it points more down. Same with the other X and Z values but rotated differently for them.

Sorry I for whatever reason didn’t see this question when you originally posted it. For this I would use the velocity equation to get the direction you’re object is going to be facing and then from there you can use CFrame.lookAt or CFrame.fromMatrix. local g, v0, x0 -- define these local function x(t) return 0.5*g*t*t + v0*t + x0 end local function v(t) return g*t + v0 end local t = 0 game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt) t = t + dt local position = x(t) local v…
