Don't write a script for me. I need you to tell me what I need to know and possibly a bit more to build the script I want.


My goal is to make one face of a brick always face the player.

Reading parts of the wiki and looking at already working scripts (and playing around with them a bit) is a great way to learn to script. That's how I started.

If you already have a basic scripting knowledge, this little bit of the wiki would probably be the most helpful for what you want to do.

Also, thanks, SCARFACIAL. That helps, as I have very limited experience with CFrames.

No, you were being a smart-alec and linking me to something that everyone who goes on this forum has read.

DrHaximus, how am I being ungrateful? He linked me to a sticky, as if I'm stupid. I thanked the people who linked me to useful things and helped out.

It would be SOMETHING like this, although you would have to play around with the values and such, as I have not tested it and have limited experience with it.

part = workspace.Part

torso = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
while wait() do
part.CFrame = torso.CFrame * (torso.CFrame.lookVector * -10)
end
end))
