How to rotate an accesory?

Hello. I'm trying to make a backpack that should stay behind the player's torso (using R6).

Here's the script:

view source
01game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
02    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
03        local backpack = game.ServerStorage.Backpack
04 
05        backpack:Clone().Parent = char
06        local torso = char.Torso       
07 
08        local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", backpack)
09        weld.Part0 = torso
10        weld.Part1 = backpack.Handle
11    end)
12end)

Problem The backpack won't rotate so that it stays on the player's back, instead it looks like this:

You need to modify the CFrame of the weld. In your case (and I think most cases), you want to modify weld.C0(CFrame0, like Part0). Because your backpack's back-to-front, you want to rotate it 180 degrees on the Y axis. If you're familiar with CFrames, you can probably do this yourself, but in case not, you'll want to use CFrame.Angles like so: weld.C0 = weld.C0 * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0) If you need to reposition it, add a Vector3 value: weld.C0 = weld.C0 + Vector3.new(x, y, z)

EDIT: Sorry - I didn't notice you were using a WeldConstrains as opposed to a regular weld. If it's the same to you, just use a regular weld, as you can set the CFrame for them.
