Need help with R6 body movement thing

[placid nest]

Mk so, you know how TPS games the upper body of the player points to where the camera is facing? I've seen a lot of examples on the forum of this, which are either outdated or r15, and dont replicate to the server.

Ive seen a lot of games have this so I thought I could find it online instead of having to script it myself. So if anyone has a post or resource I could use, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, how would I got about making this? The torso is connected to everything so I cant really move it without also moving the legs..?

one of many ways is to use inverse kinematics, another is to set cframes. both should work on the client. changing motor offsets won't work on client from what i've seen.

and yes, moving the torso also moves the legs. that's not really a problem if you do it right.

when you cframe the torso, the legs move in worldspace https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/CFrame#PointToObjectSpace but they do not move in objectspace https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/CFrame#PointToWorldSpace

this also applies to rotations which i think is what these are for https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/CFrame#VectorToWorldSpace https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/CFrame#VectorToObjectSpace

oh thanks

il see what i can do

really it's just a matter of learning cframe math https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/CFrame#math-operations good luck
