Setting AutoRotate to my own character on the client does nothing

I’m making a skydive ability that requires my character to completely freeze.

The first thing I do is freeze my character but for some reason when I set AutoRotate to false nothing happens.

I printed everything but it was all normal. I asked the AI assistant and I got something about the UserGameSettings service and checking RotateType property.

function States:toggleFreeze(char,walkSpeed,jumpPower,autoRotate)
    local hum = char.Humanoid
    hum.WalkSpeed = walkSpeed or StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed
    hum.JumpPower = jumpPower or StarterPlayer.CharacterJumpPower
    hum.AutoRotate = autoRotate or true
end
Skydive 
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local modules = ReplicatedStorage.Modules

local Environment = require(modules.Environment)
local States = require(modules.States)

local Skydive = {}


function Skydive:antigravity(char)
    local root = char.HumanoidRootPart

    local total = 0
    local vf = Instance.new("VectorForce")
    vf.Attachment0 = root.RootAttachment    
    vf.Parent = char

    for _,comp in ipairs(char:GetChildren()) do
        if comp:IsA("BasePart") then
            total += comp:GetMass()
        end
    end

    vf.Force = Vector3.yAxis * workspace.Gravity * total
    return vf
end


function Skydive.new(char,ao,direction,lungeTrack)
    local root = char.HumanoidRootPart
    States:toggleFreeze(char,0,0,false)
    local vf = Skydive.antigravity(Skydive,char)
    local lv = Instance.new("LinearVelocity")
    lv.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.Attachment0
    lv.Attachment0 = root.RootAttachment
    lv.Parent = root

    ao.CFrame = CFrame.lookAlong(root.Position,direction)
    lv.VectorVelocity = direction * 1e2

    lungeTrack:Play(0.1,1,0)

    local impactListener

    local params = RaycastParams.new()
    params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
    params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {char}

    impactListener = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
        local result = workspace:Raycast(root.Position,direction * 10,params)
        if result then

            root.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.zero

            lungeTrack:Stop()
            lungeTrack:Play()


            task.delay(0.05,lv.Destroy,lv)
            task.delay(0.05,vf.Destroy,vf)
            task.delay(lungeTrack.Length - 0.1,ao.Destroy,ao)

            impactListener:Disconnect()

            root.Parent.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)
        end
    end)

    repeat task.wait() until not impactListener.Connected

    States:toggleFreeze(char)
end

return Skydive

this will always evaluate to true.

You should instead do something like

autoRotate == nil and true or autoRotate
