How would one get a brick to point to another moving one?
My objective is to make a tracking part that swivels, following the movements of a projectile. This is my current failure of a script:
Stop = false
game.Workspace.ProjectilePhysicsTest.Projectile.Touched:connect(function (touched)
if touched.Name == "Baseplate" then
Stop = true
end
end)
repeat
wait()
script.Parent.Rotation = (script.Parent.Position - game.Workspace.ProjectilePhysicsTest.Projectile.Position).magnitude * game.Workspace.ProjectilePhysicsTest.Projectile.Position
until Stop == true
Any help would be appreciated.

There is a CFrame constructor that does precisely what you want. The syntax for it is this;
CFrame.new( Vector3 origin, Vector3 look)
origin being the position of the part, and look being where the part is looking at.
Stop = false
game.Workspace.ProjectilePhysicsTest.Projectile.Touched:connect(function(touched)
if touched.Name == "Baseplate" then
Stop = true
end
end)
repeat
wait()
script.Parent.CFrame = CFrame.new(
script.Parent.CFrame.p,
workspace.ProjectilePhysicsTest.Projectile.CFrame.p
)
until
Stop
Note: This CFrame constructor always points the FrontSurface or the part to the look argument

Goulstem am I allowed to overcomplicate things and use BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(pos,point) instead? DragonODeath 50 — 8y

I'm not sure a BodyGyro would have the same effect but feel free to test. Goulstem 8144 — 8y

It does work with BodyGyro, in fact that's exactly how you use BodyGyro. funyun 958 — 8y
