How do you make the character point to a certain direction with userinputservice?

I'm making a 2d game where when you press "s" the player points towards the camera without moving.

Well, it's actually quite simple, and you don't need BodyGyro at all. Just change the CFrame of the Character's HumanoidRootPart to the same position, and change the angle to The Camera's CFrame position. Here's an example with what you want to do.

Note: I changed the button you press from S to F so I could make sure it worked. S makes you walk backwards if your game isn't 2D :P. If you want to change it back, change Enum.KeyCode.F at line 5 to Enum.KeyCode.S.

01local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
02local usi = game:GetService("UserInputService")
03 
04usi.InputBegan:connect(function(obj)
05    if obj.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
06        local character = workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
07        local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
08        character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p, camera.CFrame.p * -1)
09    end
10end)
