how do i make something face where the player faces

[royal umbra]

got a gun that shoots where your facing but i dont know how to set the rotation of the part to the players lookvector

[dusky egret]

If you multiply the CFrame by a Vector, you get the position relative to the CFrame

So try something like hitbox.CFrame = root.CFrame * Vector3.new(0, 0, 3)

[royal umbra]

ill try that

[dusky egret]

Oh sorry you mean rotate the hitbox so it's facing the same way as the player

[royal umbra]

yeah

[dusky egret]

In that case, you need to make a new CFrame with the hitbox's position (which means the angles will be 0) then multiply it by the root's CFrame.Rotation, which is the CFrame with only the rotation

[royal umbra]

ok

wdym make a new cframe?

edit the cframe of the part?

actually i think i get it

multiply parts rotation by the roots rotation

[dusky egret]

Well

CFrame.new(hitbox.CFrame.Position) makes a new CFrame with no rotation.

root.CFrame.Rotation is the root's CFrame with no position, just rotation

So multiplying those makes a CFrame with the hitbox's position, but the root's rotation

[royal umbra]

ok

``lua

    hitbox.Position = root.Position + root.CFrame.lookVector * 1.4
                        CFrame.new(hitbox.CFrame.Position) 
                        print(hitbox.CFrame.Rotation)
                      hitbox.CFrame.Rotation *= root.CFrame.Rotation

[dusky egret]

Not quite

[royal umbra]

ok

[dusky egret]

I'd probably calculate the desired hitbox position, then use that to make a new CFrame, multiplying that by the player's CFrame.Rotation

[royal umbra]

ok

how do i make something face where the player faces

im still struggling

[dusky egret]

What did you try

[tidal parcel]

** You are now Level 23! **

[royal umbra]

nothing so far because i have no experience with making new cframes

[royal umbra]

yeah maybe not

[dusky egret]

Okay well you can also just set the Orientation of the hitbox to the orientation of the root instead of using CFrames

[shadow ocean]

Yeah well youre doomed if not bro.

Just a heads up.

[royal umbra]

dw he just kinda overcomplicated it for me i just set the rotation of the part yesterday to the root

and it worked

didnt have to read all that cframe stuff]

i hate reading i learn through expirimentation

[shadow ocean]

Experiment with reading.
