Why won't the object get correctly oriented?

Asked 204 views1 answers
local roar = Instance.new("Part")
	roar.Name = "Roar"
	roar.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue")
	roar.Material = "Neon"
	roar.Transparency = 0
	roar.FormFactor = "Custom"
	roar.Size = Vector3.new(2,2,0)
	roar.CanCollide = false
	roar.Anchored = true
	roar.Parent = player.Character.Head
	roar.Shape = "Cylinder"
	roar.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,90,0)
	roar.CFrame = player.Character.Head.CFrame + Vector3.new(3,0,0)

The object just keeps it's orientation no matter what i put in the vector3.new bracket

The problem is that CFrame is rotation and position. You set Orientation but CFrame will override it on the next line.

You can include the rotation in the CFrame

local cf = player.Character.Head.CFrame + Vector3.new(3,0,0) 
-- Angles use radians not degrees so we convert them
roar.CFrame = cf * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)

Hope this helps.
