So, I have this module script which is called by another to script to shoot at an enemy tank. It gets the angle to rotate to to point at the enemy tank and then sets the weld of the turret to that rotation so as to point at the enemy. The problem is its rotation is relative to the part it is welded to. I tried to fix this by subtracting the rotation of the tank, from the rotation which is used to point towards the other tank, but it doesn't seem to work.
local Move = {}
local Tank = script.Parent.Parent
local TurretPart = Tank.Turret
local Stats = Tank.Stats
function Move:Shoot(target)
TurretPart.Shoot:Play()
spawn(function()
local Particle = Tank.TurretAttachments.Muzzle.Shoot
Particle.Enabled = true
wait(.2)
Particle.Enabled = false
end)
print(target.Engine.Position)
local Difference = Tank.Engine.Position - target.Engine.Position
local look = Tank.Engine.CFrame.lookVector
local EngineRot = math.atan(look.x,look.z)
local rot = math.atan(Difference.x,Difference.z)
print(math.deg(rot))
TurretPart.Weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0,.2,.2)
TurretPart.Weld.C1 = CFrame.new(0,0,0) * CFrame.Angles(0,rot - EngineRot,0)
end
return Move
Also the rotation is only about the about the y axis. And the area where the rotation stuff happens is between line 15 and line 22

Try looking up math.rad and the CFrame properties. I've forgotten them but they're useful. Also, if they're a group, try setting the CFrame
of the PrimaryPart
Thats not the problem here. I know how to do all that. I need to get a the rotation of weld for a part to point to a rotation that is non relative.
