**Deprecated:** This object is deprecated and should not be used for new work. Use [`AlignOrientation`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/AlignOrientation.md) instead, and see the [legacy conversion notes](https://create.roblox.com/docs/physics/mover-constraints#legacy-mover-conversion).

Applies a torque to maintain a constant orientation.

## Properties

### CFrame

```luau
BodyGyro.CFrame: CFrame = CFrame.identity
```

- Tags: Read capabilities: Physics

Determines the target orientation (translational component ignored).

### D

```luau
BodyGyro.D: number = 500
```

- Tags: Read capabilities: Physics

Determines the amount of dampening to use in reaching the goal [`CFrame`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/index/types/CFrame.md).

### MaxTorque

```luau
BodyGyro.MaxTorque: Vector3 = Vector3.new(400000, 0, 400000)
```

- Tags: Read capabilities: Physics

Determines the limit on how much torque that may be applied to each axis.

### P

```luau
BodyGyro.P: number = 3000
```

- Tags: Read capabilities: Physics

Determines how aggressive of a torque is applied in reaching the goal orientation.

### cframe

```luau
BodyGyro.cframe: CFrame = CFrame.identity
```

- Use instead: [`BodyGyro.CFrame`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/BodyGyro.md)

**Deprecated:** This property is a deprecated variant of [`BodyGyro.CFrame`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/BodyGyro.md) which should be used instead.

### maxTorque

```luau
BodyGyro.maxTorque: Vector3 = Vector3.new(400000, 0, 400000)
```

- Tags: Deprecated, Not replicated, Read capabilities: Physics, Load only
- Use instead: [`BodyGyro.MaxTorque`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/BodyGyro.md)

**Deprecated:** This property is a deprecated variant of [`BodyGyro.MaxTorque`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/BodyGyro.md) which should be used instead.
