Trouble trying to make a model face a part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Here is my current code

fp1:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.lookAt(fp1.PrimaryPart.Position,victim.HumanoidRootPart.Position))

It literally does nothing without any errors.
How can I make it so the model faces victim.HumanoidRootPart?
All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:

What is the problem with what you have right now?
Do you have this code in a Runservice.Heartbeat connected function so that it constantly looks at the part?

no its only supposed to set once.
The problem is that it does literally nothing and the model does not face the part.

Weird, I can’t see why it would be wrong. Unfortunately I can’t test it myself right now since everything is down, I’ll get back once I’m able to.

Studio is working already, your code is fine. Is fp1 a character model or does it contain a humanoid? Because that could be messing things up

I found out my problem.
the model is a flat cylinder like a plate almost.
the front surface of the part is actually the bottom of the cylinder so it only rotates which is why I did not notice.

Now the problem is how can I compensate for that? I want to use the front of the clyinder (the top of the plate) rather than the bottom / sides

I could try to explain better if needed

Here is a visual of the problem
the front surface of the part is on the bottom where the red line is
I want to use the surface where the blue dot is.

You might just be able to just multiply by a rotated CFrame like so:

fp1:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.lookAt(fp1.PrimaryPart.Position,victim.Position)
    * CFrame.Angles(0,math.pi/2,0))

You will have to play around with where to put the math.pi/2 and whether its negative and such.

Try messing with the angles of the CFrame:

fp1:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.lookAt(
    fp1.PrimaryPart.Position,victim.HumanoidRootPart.Position
) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)) --90 degress converted to radians

Not sure which axis it should be but see if it actually rotates first.
