How to change the facing of a part to the facing(lookvector) of character?
I have tried everything, but I cannot seem to change the lookVector of a union part to the lookVector of the lower torso, upper torso, etc.
Here is the code so far:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local s = game.ReplicatedStorage.Spaceship
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local p = s:Clone()
p.Parent = game.Workspace
p.Name = player.Character.Name .. "Spaceship"
local info = TweenInfo.new(
1,
Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,
Enum.EasingDirection.Out
)
local debounce = false
while true do
wait(0.1)
local bodyPart = player.Character:FindFirstChild("LowerTorso").CFrame
local goals = {CFrame = CFrame.new(bodyPart.X, 5, bodyPart.Z)}
local tween = ts:Create(p, info, goals)
tween:Play()
end
Thanks for the Help!

Answer
If you want to make partA look at partB while remaining in position of partA then you can use CFrame.new with two Vector3 paramteres.
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/datatype/CFrame
CFrame.new(vector3Position, vector3Direction).
This creates a CFrame whose Position is vector3Position and rotation is pointing towards the vector vector3Direction
Then we would set partA.CFrame to our new CFrame.
partA.CFrame = CFrame.new(partA.Position, partB.Position)
So if you were wanting to make a part face the LowerTorso of a character;
somePart.CFrame = CFrame.new(somePart.Position, lowerTorso.Position)
And if you wanted to make LowerTorso face somePart just reverse the order.
* Make sure to set the y-coordinate of somePart's position to the LowerTorso's y-coordinate or you might see some weird angle issues.
CFrame.new(lowerTorso.Position, Vector3.new(somePart.Position.X, lowerTorso.Position.Y, somePart.Position.Z)
