How can I make the bottom side of the player face a position?
So I'm making the player face the planet that they are on, but I think the facing part is too literal because they are flat down on their face on the ground. How can I make a different side of them face the ground? The bottom side more specifically.
player.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(player.HumanoidRootPart.Position, planet.Position);

Can you give me the context of how I woud use that? I'm pretty sure Y is actually the one rotation that won't be affected by spherical gravity. bludud1234 40 — 5y

Sort of, except that I want the player straight up instead of facedown, the models that you posted were facing in weird directions. https://imgur.com/a/9fXciLT bludud1234 40 — 5y

player.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(player.HumanoidRootPart.Position, planet.Position) * CFrame.fromEulerAngles(math.deg(-90),0,0);
offsetting the rotation should help

Multiplying it by an offset seems to be what I need, but for some reason it's giving this error: attempt to call field 'fromEulerAngles' (a nil value) bludud1234 40 — 5y

fromEulerAngles just needed an XYZ at the end of it. But now the player seems to be somewhat upright but it jittering like crazy. bludud1234 40 — 5y

oh yeah i forgot the "XYZ", maybe its that the player is trying to correct itself back to standing upright? fanofpixels 718 — 5y

Okay, I finally got it working pretty well. Using a BodyGyro instead of directly setting the player's rotation stops the flickering, and deg should have been rad. player.HumanoidRootPart.BodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.new(player.HumanoidRootPart.Position, planet.Position) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(math.rad(90),0,0); bludud1234 40 — 5y

glad you got it working fanofpixels 718 — 5y
