ViewModel CFrame Problem

[Towphy]

Hey! I’m having trouble getting my view model arm to point at a specific position. I have never really messed around with CFrames too much so I am hoping somebody could point me in the right direction!

My current code consist of imported code that accomplishes this exact thing but for R6 models rather than a ViewModel:

local CN,CA = CFrame.new,CFrame.Angles
local an = math.asin

local armOffset = ViewModel.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame:Inverse() * ViewModel["RightArm"].CFrame

armWeld = Instance.new("Weld")
armWeld.Part0 =  ViewModel.HumanoidRootPart
armWeld.Part1 =  ViewModel["RightArm"]
armWeld.Parent =  ViewModel.HumanoidRootPart
RenderConnection = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(deltaTime)
	local cframe = CN( ViewModel.HumanoidRootPart.Position, workspace.Part.Position) * CA(math.pi/2, 0, 0)
	armWeld.C0 = armOffset * ViewModel.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame:toObjectSpace(cframe) * CN(0,0,-0.5)
end)

I thought that since the ViewModel rig is pretty similar to the r6 rig it would work correctly but it had a few odd problems:

The goal of this is so the arm points in the correct orientation to the grey part’s position^

I’m not too familiar with this type of work~

The rig of the view model looks like this:

Once again if you could help or point me in the right direction it is highly appreciated!

If you need anymore information, examples, feel free to ask

It looks like you’re trying to make the arm of the view model point at a specific position in the world, represented by the grey part. To do this, you can use the CFrame.LookAt function, which creates a transformation that rotates a frame so that its z axis points towards a specific point in space.

I’ve tried a few things but nothing seemed to work, could you possibly provide an example of how CFrame.LookAt would look in my code?
