How do I Create a camera angle so that it is always to the side of the player?

( Like a 2D side scrolling game) Help appreciated , thanks :)

DeviousDeviation created a model that automatically makes the camera side-scrolling. I suggest checking it out. FearMeIAmLag 1161 — 9y

To do this then you can lock the z axis of the camera so that it's always at a certain position, then use Camera Interpolation in a while loop to set the Camera relative to the player.

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local reference = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso
local z = CFrame.new(0,0,0) --Lock z to this point

cam.CameraType = 'Scriptable'

while wait() do
    cam:Interpolate(
        CFrame.new(reference.CFrame.p.X,reference.CFrame.p.Y,z),
        reference.CFrame,
        .3
    )
end

You don't have a variable for the camera therefore you'll need to do this!!!This goes before your script three lines apart!!!

Cam = game.workspace.Camera

Hope it works for you!
