Why doesn't my camera focus toward a part I've set as the target?
Essentially, I want a camera to be at a part named 'point' that is fixed, meaning that the player cannot move it around using right-click, and also having the camera at 'point' facing another part called 'target'.
My current code is as follows:
local cam=workspace.CurrentCamera local point=game.Workspace.point cam.CameraSubject=game.Workspace.point cam.CameraType="Scriptable" cam.Focus=CFrame.new(game.Workspace.target.Position) cam.CoordinateFrame=CFrame.new(point.Position)
Currently, the camera is facing the wrong direction of the 'target' part, which I've set as the focus. Consult with this picture just in case you don't understand: http://i.imgur.com/cAuWsDg.png
The camera should face towards the light that you can kind of see on the left side of the picture, not towards the wall. There is nothing out of the ordinary in the output.
Why doesn't my camera focus towards the part I've set as the target? Everything else seems to be working fine.

The CoordinateFrame property of the camera sets all (Without using the Focus and CameraSubject) you need, the origin and the target. CFrame is a combination of position and rotation. All you need is to use one of it's constructors:
CFrame.new(workspace.Part.Position, workspace.Target.Position)
This will make a CFramewith a position on Part and a lookVector (Or simply target) to Target
CFrame.new(Vector3 position, Vector3 point) : Creates CFrame from position, and looking at point. source: wiki.roblox.com
Now you're ready to see!
Some of these are not needed. You can just use the code as follows.
Make sure this is in a Local Script!
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera local point = game.Workspace.point cam.CameraType = "Scriptable" cam.CoordinateFrame = point.CFrame
If this worked then just accept it as an answer!
