How Do I Rotate A Character Without A Turning Movement?

Asked 1,928 views1 answers

Hello, I'm a bit new to scripting and I only know the basics. So basically, I'm making a 2D and I want it so when you press A you look to the left instantly, if you press D you you look to the right instantly, and when you press W, you look away from the camera instantly. I've already disabled AutoRotate, so my character doesn't rotate around anymore, but I still want it to face the direction I'm moving, can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

 local plyr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
plyr.Character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false

What you should use is a BodyMover. What BodyMovers do is pushing, pulling, rotating, etc. parts. The BodyMover you need is BodyGyro. What BodyGyro does is rotate the part to what you choose.

local BodyGyro = Instance.new('BodyGyro', player.HumanoidRootPart) 
-- Every BodyMover has 'P' and 'D' properties. 
BodyGyro.P = 10000 -- This is how quick the part would rotate.
BodyGyro.D = 1000 -- This is how fast the part would stop.
BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,-90,0) -- This would point the character away from the camera if the default direction is 0, 0, 0
BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,90,0) -- This would point the character towards the camera.
