How to make a NPC look at the character?
I want to make a NPC move his body in the direction of the player's character when the player begins a dialog with the NPC. I saw this in a Roblox game called Monster Islands. Can somebody guide me?

Ok so i've thought about it, and i just made it check if the player is close to the selected npc or not, and it turned out to be like this; This is in a Script that is located in the StarterCharacterScripts
First: Getting needed Variables
local char = script.Parent
local npcToFind = workspace:WaitForChild("StoreClerk")
After that we will need to calculate distance in a loop.
Second: Getting distance between player/NPC
spawn(function()
while true do
local TO = char.Torso
local dist = (TO.Position - npcToFind.Torso.Position).magnitude
wait()
end
end
Now that we have the distance we can just do certain events if the player is close or not.
Third: Checking if close or not, and if player is close, make npc look towards the player, if not then continue the loop.
if dist <= 10 then
npcToFind.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(npcToFind.Torso.Position, char.Torso.Position * Vector3.new(1,0,1) + char.Torso.Position * Vector3.new(0,1,0))
end
Full Code: ``` local char = script.Parent local npcToFind = workspace.StoreClerk
spawn(function() while true do local TO = char.Torso local dist = (TO.Position - npcToFind.Torso.Position).magnitude if dist <= 10 then npcToFind.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(npcToFind.Torso.Position, char.Torso.PositionVector3.new(1,0,1) + char.Torso.PositionVector3.new(0, 1, 0)) end wait() end end) ```

And by all of that, the NPC Will directly look at the player if the player is far away from the npc by 10 Studs you can always change that number, and if you want it to be a lot of npcs, you can just put the npcs in a list and constantly looping through that list.
Hope This Helped.
