How do i make a camera that follows the player?

Asked 317 views1 answers

I am trying to make a camping game on roblox and I am trying to make a gui that shows the player because the camera is following the player and this is all i got for a camera block

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- which is the camera
local realcamera = workspace.Camerablock -- which is the camera block

repeat wait()
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = realcamera.CFrame

But i need help because i don't know what i do to make it go in front of the player pls help me smart people

THis here will help you but make sure to be in R15 setting or it wont work

and make sure to add a HumanoidRootPart or this also wont work so add it to the script

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local runService = game:GetService('RunService')

local pre, curr, diff

local function setupCamera()
    wait()
    pre = player.Character:WaitForChild("UpperTorso").Position
    camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(pre+Vector3.new(0, 5, 10), pre)
end

local function onUpdate()
    if pre and player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso") then
        curr = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position
        diff = curr - pre
        pre = curr
        camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame + diff
    end
end

player.CharacterAdded:connect(setupCamera)
runService:BindToRenderStep("Camera",Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value,onUpdate)

you know, you can make it work with R15 and R6 (or any rig type) just by using "HumanoidRootPart" instead of "UpperTorso", and reposition if it's too low.

If it's for a GUI or it's client sided, it's a local script, if it's a server sided script it's a normal script
