Basically, I’m making a bow that shoots an arrow towards the direction of the mouse when activated. I was able to accomplish this. However, the orientation of the arrow is based on the character’s HumanoidRootPart orientation, which makes it strange when shooting. The question is, how do I make the arrow rotate based on the destined point (mouse.hit.p)?

Make sure the arrow is using the HumanoidRootPart Cframe when it is shot. Iirc the HumanoidRootPart does not have a fixed orientation and rotates depending where the player is facing.
Yea, it uses the humanoidrootpart cframe when shot. I don’t think I was specific enough sorry. Heres the issue:

Oh now I understood your question. Hm, are you creating a ray when shooting the arrow?
Im not sure but this thread might help : Wrote up a short script to get 3D mouse hit from UserInputService
From what I read from the post, It seems like it only returns the position of the mouse? I’m looking for orientation wise.
If the front face of the object is actually the intended direction when your using it then you could use the CFrame constructor: CFrame.new(vec3 eye, vec3 lookAt). You would do this before moving the object. Your lookAt would be the Mouse position and your eye would be the objects position.

Do you know how I would make the projectile rotate 180 degrees. It shooting the right direction but the part is backward.
Here a clip:

Script:
NFX.CFrame = Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0.5,-7) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0),math.rad(180),math.rad(0))
NFX.CFrame = CFrame.new(NFX.Position, Mousepos)
