Where is the part? Do you mean its somewhere in the distance looking at the camera or it is at the same position as the camera just rotated so that the top surface of the part is facing the same direction?

I work with scripting a lot more than u think look at this game I scripted all of it http://www.roblox.com/games/282763164/Clash-of-Bloxians-Beta and btw this part is just an example I really made a character that has joints like elbows and knees and stuff i can Get it to face the camera but i only want it to face on the cameras X axis because the character goes in the direction of its look Vector so if I am looking up in the sky it will go flying into the sky I dont want its body to face up I only want it to turn on its Y axis

Ok well that makes it a lot more complicated because im assuming the part is the head and is welded to the rest of the body. You will need to do something along the lines of convert the position of where the camera is facing to ObjectCoordinates of the Torso. Then change the C0 and C1 values of the neck joint. And by the way congrats on your game! Heres mine i did all by myself:

Its not that simple because the part is welded to another part (Assuming its the torso). This page should be able to help you:

I'm not trying to make the head face the camera I want the entire body to face the camera but I only want the Y axis to change so that way the body will not be facing straight up btw I'm using a bodygyro to change the rotation

--local script in backpack/startergui

game:GetService("RunService"):BindToRenderStep("HeadRotate",1,function()
if player.Character then
local torso,head = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso"),player.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
if torso and head then
local neck = torso:FindFirstChild("Neck")
local targget = (Workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-100)).p --mouse.Hit.p
local dir = (targget-torso.Position-Vector3.new(0,0.5,0)).unit
local angle = math.asin(-dir.y)
if neck then
neck.C0 = CFrame.new(0,1.5,0)
neck.C1 = CFrame.Angles(angle,0,0)
end
end
end
end)
