Spawn part in front of player's head depending on camera's rotation?
Hopefully this should be a quick question, just need some help with CFrame math.
I want to spawn a throwable object in front of the player's head, depending on where the player's camera is looking.

After Googling I've tried:
local throwOffset = CFrame.new(0,0,-5) part.CFrame = head.CFrame * throwOffset
but obviously this only works horizontally, because the player's head isn't rotating up and down.
How do I add the player's camera's look rotation onto this?
Thank you in advance!

Just found a solution!
local throwOffset = 5 --studs in front of head for part to spawn local newPos = head.Position + camera.CFrame.lookVector*throwOffset part.CFrame = CFrame.new(newPos,newPos+camera.CFrame.lookVector)
