Turret Rotation

[o1hollow (Tuff_jit)]

So I have a turret and it turns when I want it to but I don’t know how to make it stop when it is facing the target. I have the position of the target I just don’t know how to detect when it is facing the target

Here’s the part of the script:

local target = Vector3.new(targ.X, targ.Y, targ.Z)
repeat wait()
	headRoot.CFrame = headRoot.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(.5), 0)
until --turret is facing target

Since you already have the position, you can use TweenService to tween the CFrame to the target

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local target = Vector3.new(targ.X, targ.Y, targ.Z)
local seconds = 4 -- time takes to reach target
local easingStyle = Enum.EasingStyle.Linear -- play around to find what you like

TweenService:Create(headRoot, TweenInfo.new(seconds, easingStyle), {CFrame = CFrame.new(headRoot.Position, target)}):Play()

local targetPosition = Vector3.new(targ.X, targ.Y, targ.Z)
local toleranceAngle = 1

while true do
    wait()
    local directionToTarget = (targetPosition - headRoot.Position).unit
    local turretForward = headRoot.CFrame.LookVector
    local angleToTarget = math.deg(math.acos(turretForward:Dot(directionToTarget)))
    
    if angleToTarget <= toleranceAngle then
        break
    end
    
    headRoot.CFrame = headRoot.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(.5), 0)
end

Since you already have the target’s position, you can just use raycast. And then add a variable that triggers to stop.

local target = Vector3.new(targ.X, targ.Y, targ.Z)
local isfacingtarget = false

repeat
	headRoot.CFrame = headRoot.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(.5), 0)
	
	local origin = headRoot.Position
	local direction = (target - origin).Unit * 100 -- if how long do you think the raycast should go
	local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent} -- avoid detecting the current assuming script is inside a model

	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, raycastParams)
	isfacingtarget = raycastResult and raycastResult.Instance == modeloftarg -- assuming you have a character model for the target
until isfacingtarget == true

Thank you so much, just tried this and it worked

Ya figured it would. Just following what you had… Actually like that tween more. GL.
