So as you guys know doing CFrame.new(pos,look) will create a CFrame at pos oriented to look.

I was wondering how you could make a CFrame that is offset from another point that can only rotate around said point but still have it’s lookVector face the look position.

If I do,

while wait() do
	part1.CFrame = CFrame.new((part0.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,part0.Size.Y/2,0)).p,target.CFrame.p)
end

I get the problem which is the part is centered on the offset point(which happens to be the top of another part). That looks like this However, I can do

while wait() do
	part1.CFrame = CFrame.new((part0.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,part0.Size.Y/2,0)).p,target.CFrame.p) * CFrame.new(0,part1.Size.Y/2,0)
end

This results in something that looks okay

The problem is because I moved it up the angle is actually off by a little bit

It’s very little but I was wondering if there is a better method for getting an accurate CFrame?

While this is not to help your actual problem, you should not be calling wait() in the conditional portion of the while loop.

yea i know this is just for simple testing of the CFraming element, but thanks for the reminder.

i dont get what you mean by the angle is off by a little bit

So I make the CFrame so that at the position it is looking towards the other point. But I need to move it up so that it appears to be on top, and this makes the angle off because now it pointing above the target rather than on it.
