how to make a character look in the direction of a Vector3

[slate agate]

im trying to make the player look in the direction of a raycast result, but i tried to use CFrame.lookAt() but it didnt work cuz the raycast result is a Vector3 so is there any other way i could do this?

CFrame.Angles() maybe

[fiery dagger]

CFrame.lookAt(rayResult.CFrame) or sum idk how lookat works

[dim valve]

it does work with a vector3, just give it the origin and the target

[dim valve]

but character pivot with a cframe from the position of the hrp to a flattened y vector for the raycast result ( if u want it to stay upright ) will also work

[fiery dagger]

if that's the case, then wouldnt CFrame.lookAt(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame, rayResult.CFrame) work?

[dim valve]

dont pass cfram's, it wants vector 3 positions

like .position

[fiery dagger]

oh

[dim valve]

CFrame.lookAt(hrp.Position, Vector3.new(hit.X, hrp.Position.Y, hit.Z))```

im assuming he wants yaw only

for what he is asking

but as u can see

[slate agate]

what does hit have to do with the raycast

oh is it the thihg the raycast hit

[dim valve]

Yes

Kind of obv lol

[coarse shard]

CFrame.lookAlong()

[slate agate]

Ok it’s late but I will try this tomorrow when i get up

its better to look this stuff up in the docs and learn how they work and how to use them http://wiki.roblox.com

wait does lookalong work for an entire character or is it just for parts

[slate agate]

ok i figured it out, time to explain

here is the code for anyone else who wants to do this:

RootPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAlong(RootPart.Position, rayresult.Normal * -1)
