Trying to make part always face the same direction the camera facing except the Z orientation. Is this correct approach?

Help and Feedback Code Review

Im making a dash movement using LinearVelocity RelativeTo Attachment1, and i want to make the dash direction related to player direction moving and Camera direction. But since i have little to no experience and is absolutely horrible at math, i rarely tinker with Camera and CFrame.

So i did research and as a first step, im making Part that hover above player head that always rotate facing the same way the camera face but remain stationary at its Z axis (Up and down)

Here’s the code :

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local Character = script.Parent

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
part.Position = Character:WaitForChild("Head").Position + Vector3.new(0,2,0)
part.Parent = Character

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	part.CFrame = CFrame.new(Character.Head.Position + Vector3.new(0,3,0),Vector3.new(Camera.CFrame.X,part.Position.Y,Camera.CFrame.Z))
end)

Is this the correct way, i mean it does work perfectly since part does facing the same way camera face without Z axis as i mentioned stuff.

But, like, is there a better way to approach or my method are okay?

it’s very unredable in the line with RunService, to change part’s CFrame on each axis, except Z you need to calculate angle X and Y from CFrame or Math (CFrame may be better for you), also you should think about using while loop with low frequency like 1/10 and lerp your part’s CFrame to new camera cframe in those 1/12 seconds in between
