How do I rotate with a CFrame?
I'm using a script to summon a wall. The wall is offset because it's a union, so it can't just spawn in with 0, 0, 0 orientation. I've been trying to set it to spawn with the orientation of "Vector3.new(54.71, sok, -30.81)" but it doesn't work.
wallsource = script.Brick:Clone() wallsource.Parent = character wallp = script.IceWall:Clone() wallp.Parent = character wallsource.CanCollide = false wallsource.CFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame - Vector3.new(0, 2, 0) sok = character.Brick.Orientation.Y + 70 print(wallsource.CFrame.lookVector) wallp.CFrame = wallsource.CFrame wallp.CFrame = CFrame.new(wallsource.Position, Vector3.new(54.71, sok, -30.81))
wallsource puts a brick in that's facing the same direction as the torso but on the ground, it sets the general location that the wallp should be at.
However, wallp seems to just want to be whatever rotation it deems fit. It needs to be 54.71, sok, -30.81 otherwise it gets weird. The 54.71 and -30.81 make sure that it's sitting flat on the ground and the sok is what makes it face forwards relative to your character.

using the following syntax: CFrame.new(Vector3, Vector3) makes a cframe where the first vector3 is the position and the second is another position that defines what position the cframe looks at
try this instead:
CFrame.new(wallsource.Position)*CFrame.FromEulerAnglesXYZ(math.rad(54.71), math.rad(sok), math.rad(-30.81)
the reason all axis are within a math.rad is because CFrame.FromEulerAnglesXYZ is in radians, and i assume that you were using degrees
