Set orientation by character position

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

What I’m currently doing is creating some parts at the Mouse.Hit position, but I want the parts to be oriented by the character position, not the camera. Video:


How do I fix it?

#2 
Part.Position = mouse.Hit.Position
Part.Orientation = Character.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation
#3

No, as that would rotate the part by the HumanoidRootPart. I want to rotate the part by the character position. (Part’s back should face the character)

#4

Can you give a more detailed explanation on what you’re trying to achieve?

#5

Do CFrame.lookat(mouse.Hit.Position,char.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

#6

part.CFrame = CFrame.new(Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Mouse.Hit.Position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -part.Size.Z/2)

try that

#7

That doesn’t create the part where my mouse 3D position is.

#8

Part.CFrame = CFrame.lookat(mouse.Hit.Position,char.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

#9

hmm maybe this tho first one was made for big parts tho part.CFrame = CFrame.new(Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Mouse.Hit.Position)

The part is facing the camera;

The part should face the character.

#11

That does the same behavior.

#12

To the torso or the head of the player?

#13

HumanoidRootPart. Neither animateable parts.

#14

the one i sent is working pretty well for me i used it for a kamehameha skill

The orientation is perfect, the position, isn’t.

#16

Then you are trying to do this

CFrame.lookat(mouse.Hit.Position,char.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

try to use this.

#17

Getting the error attempt to call a nil value.

TargetPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookat(MouseHit.Position,Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
#18 
TargetPart.CFrame = TargetPart.CFrame * CFrame.lookAt(MouseHit.Position,Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

maybe this ?

#19

I get the same error.

#20

maybe try add a position line after make it facing with character ?
