Add an offset to a CFrame

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

trying to make something look at a character, but it has an offset that isn’t working well. I’m trying to make it automatic cause this one script is running all towers.

Code:

local Cframe = CFrame.lookAt(Tower.Model.Head.Position,Target.HumanoidRootPart.Position * Vector3.new(1,0,1))
				Tower:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model").Head.CFrame = Cframe
				TweenService:Create(Tower:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model").Head,TweenInfo.new(.2),{CFrame = Cframe * CFrame.Angles(Tower:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model").Head.Orientation.X,Tower:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model").Head.Orientation.Y,Tower:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model").Head.Orientation.Z)}):Play()

Are there any errors in the output window? This code is really confusing.

#3

Do you want the offset to be in world space or in local space/object space

#4

no errors its just rotated sideways. im trying to make it have an offset so it doesnt rotate sideways

#5

Well looks like your adding an offset to the X and Z axis from the target position

But maybe showing a screenshot of what it looks like instead of just showing the code so we can help you properly :thinking:

#6

I’m making it so it doesn’t point up. The tower defense is going to have air troops that only some can hit.

#7

maybe define something like this?
local rotationOffset = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(urnumber), 0)

on “urnumber” position it to what angle you want?

#8

Could you send a screenshot of what the offset looks like currently?

@envykillie the reason why I don’t have that is because this is the script for all towers meaning if I put offset for it all will be offsetted.

Also you should deconstruct the CFrame using ToEulerAngles instead of grabbing the Orientation

local TowerHead = Tower:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model").Head
local x,y,z = TowerHead.CFrame:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
#11

pardon can you explain that better? (I have smooth brain)

#12

when you use the method ToEulerAngles what it does is it returns the approximate angles of that CFrame in that order, also you couldve just done Cframe * Head.CFrame.Rotation

It’s a method on a CFrame not on the object itself

Maybe you could define another variable for urnumber and change it when you want it to look at the character. I think it would be a longer code though

local rotationOffset = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(urnumber), 0)

@RocketSlither

I’m guessing the cannon head is a model right, maybe try playing around with its pivot position

that work because of this is the script for ALL towers.

Fixed:

Tower:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model").Head.CFrame = Cframe * Tower.Model.Head.PivotOffset.Rotation
