What is the best way to rotate a player?

Hey

Trying to rotate a character

Here is the code I have so far which sucessfully rotates the player 45 degrees on the y axis

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(ply)
    game.Workspace:WaitForChild(ply.Name)
    local character = game.Workspace[ply.Name]
    character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
    while wait() do
        character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(45),0) + character.Torso.CFrame.p
    end
end)

However, when rotating 45 degrees on the x axis the character is always trying to rotate itself back to standing up

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(ply)
    game.Workspace:WaitForChild(ply.Name)
    local character = game.Workspace[ply.Name]
    character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
    while wait() do
        character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(45),0,0) + character.Torso.CFrame.p
    end
end)

If there were some way to stop the character from trying to auto flip itself back to normal orientation then that would fix the problem. I have tried turning off autorotate but this only fixed the problem on the y axis. I have also tried using bodygyro, but you can't set a particular rotation with that so that is not ideal.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Well you could use BodyGyro, but you'd have to update it's velocity constantly. You could anchor the character temporarily as well. Personally, I've also been looking for a way to make characters walk an angle, haven't found it yet though, so I wish you luck. Tomstah 401 — 6y

I've already turned off auto rotate in the script and it only fixes rotations on the y axis. I will keep posted if I find an answer. 123marble 61 — 6y

Im not a good scripter, but based on my knowledge, while wait() do is a much slower process to loop stuff. Instead, you would need to use Heartbeat, which is faster.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(ply)
    game.Workspace:WaitForChild(ply.Name)
    local character = game.Workspace[ply.Name]
    character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
    game.RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function() 
        character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(45),0,0) + character.Torso.CFrame.p
    end)
end)

I have the same problem as well.

To "temporarily" overcome this problem, I used

humanoid.Sit = true
-- or
humanoid.PlatformStand = true

The major down side to this solution is that humanoids have a "timer" to get up, so it isn't the best solution for me. It can work for your code though,
