How can I change the rotation of this object to face the player?

Asked 197 views1 answers

Alright, so I've got a part with a SurfaceGui that's locally made and positioned right in front of the player (2 studs in front of him) but it's facing away from the player, not towards the player. So, the player can't see the GUI.

local c = script.GUI:Clone()
c.Parent = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
c.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "CREATED!"
repeat
	c.CFrame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head.CFrame + game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head.CFrame.lookVector * 2
	wait()
until (1 == 5) -- 1 will never be equal to 5, so :p

How can I change the rotation of the brick to face towards the player?

Thanks! :)

local run = game:GetService('RunService')
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local head = char:WaitForChild("Head")

run.RenderStepped:connect(function()
	-- Start at your head
	-- Rotate around 180 degrees
	-- Push away from your head 
	c.CFrame = head.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(180),0) +  (head.CFrame.lookVector *2) 
end)
