Settings BodyGyro CFrame to Camera LookVector

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey, Im trying to orient the player to face where ever the camera is facing, and this script should be working but I have no clue why, I also have it in a loop

Note I only want it to orient on the X, Z axises

Code:

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
while using do
	BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.LookVector.X,0,camera.CFrame.LookVector.Z)
	game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait()
end

Is it seriously that hard? :man_shrugging:

First off, the first 3 values of a cframe are positional values. A lookvector is a unit vector and has a magnitude of one. The CFrame you constructed will always be near thr center of the world.

One way to solve this problem is to use the CFrame.lookAt constructor roblox which takes a positional compenent as its first argument and then a target position for it to rotate too.

BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt( BodyGyro.CFrame.Position, BodyGyro.CFrame.Position + Vector3.new(1,0,1) * camera.CFrame.LookVector)

I’ve done this already so ez

this is a local script inside starter character

local Gyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro",player.Character.HumanoidRootPart)
player.Character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false



game["Run Service"].RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    if using then
		local Root = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
		Gyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
		Gyro.D = 100
		Gyro.P = 10000
		Gyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(Root.Position, Root.Position + Vector3.new(cammer.CFrame.LookVector.X,0,cammer.CFrame.LookVector.Z))
		wait()
	end
end)
