When the tower rotates towards the enemy, the tower’s rotation resets to the rotation it was set to when you placed it, please help me fix that.

Here’s the part in the script that rotates the tower

local targetCFrame = CFrame.lookAt(newTower.HumanoidRootPart.Position, target.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
newTower.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = targetCFrame

If you want to the whole script just tell me.

That’s actually a module script

You set your body gyro CFrame to the humanoid root part CFrame in your spawn function.

In your attack function, you set a new humanoid root part towards the enemy, however, you do NOT set the CFrame for the body gyro towards the enemy. The body gyro responsibility to set the model back to its assigned CFrame, which is the CFrame when you spawned the tower. This is why the tower resets its position.

A solution to this is to also set your body gyro CFrame to point towards the enemy.

Note: In future, please create a better title for your post that roughly explains your problem. “Help fix this please” is not useful information.
