I asked a similar question about 4-5 days back, but there was widespread confusion on many elements of the question.

I'm nearly done with making a fully custom combat system, but am stuck on one last error -- making a spear, for instance, rotate its model in order to point at the mouse location.

I've already made the inner-workings of the tool a model (other than handle, which is invisible anyways) which sets its primary part to the part which would need rotation. After this, I can assume that raycasting would be my best bet, though I've not yet had a remotely working prototype.

If this would be more easily possible by rotating the arm instead of the tool, I can assume it'd be around the same code as stated in the paragraph above (since the raycasting is my only issue).

I'm not requesting a full code be made, just general tips and ideas on how I could make this system a reality (since I have no idea what I'm doing with raycasting).

Thanks for reading, and I hope to find a solution!

EDIT: I've tried this code from MastaJames to no avail --

local model = game.Workspace.Model
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

mouse.Move:connect(function()
    if mouse.Hit then
        model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(model:GetPrimaryPartCFrame().p, mouse.Hit.p))
    end
end)

Also, as a slight mini question, the weapon now becomes invisible with the player when in first person mode. Is this because the inner parts are a model rather than just separate parts?

I would first try playing with the CFrame.new(Vector3 startPosition, Vector3 lookAt) constructor.

That's the first place I went to as well. It was then suggested to me again in my previous thread, however the code never worked out (even with mouse.Hit.p as the lookAt).

The reason it's invisible when you zoom in is because it is located inside of the player model.

Strange, it didn't do that about a week ago, nor did any of my other tools. Must have been an update recently then.
