I've been able to make a bot face you by setting the CFrame in a while loop, but I don't want to do this because when there's a lot of bots this lags.
I've tried using a BodyGyro but this (unless it's in a loop) doesn't change when you walk around, so the bot only faces the position you started at.
Is there a way I can make the bot face you without a loop?
This is not a request, because I've done lots of work myself.
Have you tried Rocket Propulsion?
or you could use the Changed event.
local t = target --what you want the bot to face at
local b = bot --part of the bot you want facing the target
t.Changed:connect(function(characteristic)
if string.lower(characteristic) == "position" then
b.CFrame = CFrame.new(b.Position,t.Position)
end
end)
No, I don't want any thrust.
It doesn't need thrust, just set the cartoon factor without any force.
Oh, I see. Wouldn't that cause the same problem though, needing to be in a really fast while loop? http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/RocketPropulsion/CartoonFactor
no, it doesn't need to loop. Just set the target to the part you want the bot to face.
I just tried it, and it doesn't work. It doesn't even turn the bot a little. Even when I do it manually, without scripts, for some reason it doesn't turn to face Target.
Maybe it's too weak then. I'll go think of another way.
Maybe you could use the changed event.

That kind of defeats the purpose -- If I'm walking around, it's not gonna be much slower than a while loop. However, I tested it and it doesn't work (the event doesn't fire). I know the changed event doesn't work well with certain properties, maybe position is one of them.
It worked for me, I tested it in studio before I posted it.

Why would doing something very often but not in a loop be any better than in a loop?
It wouldn't be any better.
