Set Origin Orientation of a model

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a model, that randomly has a different origin orientation every time I add a new one with a script. How would I set the Origin Orientation to 0,0,0? There is not a Model:SetPrimaryPartOrientation(). How would I achieve this? I have tried many different ways.

#2

I know you can set the origin position using PivotTo

I think it is possible to set the orintation but I am not sure.

Edit:

Pretty sure it’s this:

part:PivotTo(CFrame.Angles(0,0,0))— may be CFrame.New

Note:

Origin Orientation canNOT be changed by scripts

I tried that, but I don’t want the Model teleporting directly to the center of the part. I would just like to change the orientation, nothing else.

Read about CFrames:

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/datatype/CFrame

Then I think it’s this:


Model:PivotTo( CFrame.new(Model:GetPivot().Position) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,0) )

btw if you teleport a model to the center of the model, it doesnt go anywhere

I figured it out, found the distance between the mouse position and the target position, added a - symbol before the distances of X Y and Z and teleported the model there.

guard:PivotTo(target:GetPivot())-- don't think I need this.
		local MoveByX = target.CFrame.X - hit.X
		local MoveByY = target.CFrame.Y - hit.Y
		local MoveByZ = target.CFrame.Z - hit.Z
		guard:PivotTo(target:GetPivot() + Vector3.new(-MoveByX,-MoveByY,-MoveByZ))

I was going to send this, but the reply button disapeared yesterday.
I was using mouse.position and mouse.hit
