Rotating character toward mouse on clicked

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hello. I’m building a wand system simply put. And i’m having a little trouble with the math of how i would rotate the player in the general direction of the mouse target, whether up, or down, or wherever, but without causing the body to suddenly be positioned up or down if you click in a higher direction or lower direction. I hope that made sense. But if I just change the primarypartcframe of the player’s character, with the mousetargets cframe, it causes the character to face EXACTLY in the direction of the mouse target, instead of just in the general direction. I don’t want the character to fall over.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

If you are trying to prevent it from being exact, you could just throw in a little bit of randomness, via math.random() or the Random object.

You need a BasePart that welded on torso by Motor6D and the arms should be welded on that basepart, then you can modify the CFrame of Motor6D of the BasePart using Mouse CFrame C0/C1 stuffs.

Moving arms up and down, you can mix the torso facing towards the mouse.

--Mouse is obviously the mouse. HRP is HumanoidRootPart.
--Try to make it like "LookAtMouse(Mouse.Hit.p, Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart)"

function LookAtMouse(MouseHit, HRP)
    local Gyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro", HRP)
    Gyro.P = 100000
    Gyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(0, math.huge, 0)
    Gyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(HRP.Position, MouseHit)
end

like that?

I just tested out this. This is local script btw.

function LookAtMouse(MouseHit, HRP)
	local Gyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro", HRP)
	Gyro.P = 10000
	Gyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(0, math.huge, 0)
	Gyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(HRP.Position, MouseHit)
	
	game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(Gyro, .1)
end

spawn(function()
	wait(.1)
	local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
	
	game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		LookAtMouse(Mouse.Hit.p, Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart)
	end)
end)
