How do I find the place in front of someone? [closed]
So im trying to make a flying cloud, and when a player clicks W, I want the cloud to go forward. Im using body velocity for this. So how would I find the place in front of someone and set the body velocity to that?

In order to move the object in the direction the player is facing, you can use the lookVector property of CFrames.
One Local Script example would be:
1 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 |
3 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent) |
4 | if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then |
5 | workspace.Cloud.BodyVelocity.Velocity = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
If you want this event to occur on the server, you would need to use Remote Events
Note that the above function takes into account the direction the player was facing when key "w" was pressed and doesn't follow the player's change in direction.
In order to make sure the block was facing the player at all times until "w" was not pressed, you could use:
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local prevent = false |
03 |
04 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent) |
05 | if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then |
06 | repeat |
07 | workspace.Cloud.BodyVelocity.Velocity = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector) * 1 -- Determines speed at which the block moves |
08 | wait() |
09 | until prevent == true |
10 | end |
11 | end) |
12 |
13 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent) |
14 | if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then |
15 | prevent = true |
16 | workspace.Cloud.BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) -- Remove this line if you want the cloud to continue moving |
17 | wait() |
18 | prevent = false |
19 | end |
20 | end) |

Back at it again are you? I simply answered a question with an example, of all people you should know the lookVector of the CFrame is what is required SerpentineKing 3885 — 6y

Im trying to use this script on a local script and its not working? CaptainD_veloper 290 — 6y

where is your cloud located? This example is determinant on the fact that the cloud is in the workspace. If you are using the second example, make sure you have a boolvalue under the script named "Prevent" as well. In both cases the cloud needs to be unanchored for the bodyvelocity to work SerpentineKing 3885 — 6y
