Camera rotate to head x,y,z?

Asked 798 views2 answers

I do not know if I worded the title right anyway...

What I'm Trying To Do I'm trying to make the current camera go to the postition of the players head. I have achieved this but It does not rotate to the y z or x of the head. Also for some reason it only follows the player if its on track. Code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local camera = workspace.currentcamera
if not character or not character.Parent then
	character = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
end
camera.CameraType = 'Track'; 
camera.CameraSubject = character.Head;`

So if you could help me that would be very appreicated!

Thanks ~KiHeros

Ah, try setting the camera to be 'Fixed' instead of 'Track'

Drat... You might also try setting the Focus property of the Camera first, before you set the subject, I myself am trying to achieve the same goal as you are... and not getting much luck... :|

lol... I want it for a nice death effect script... so far I can't get it to go to the Head and look where the head is pointing, but are you aiming for a First Person camera?

If you're aiming for a FP camera, then do this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local camera = workspace.currentcamera
if not character or not character.Parent then
    character = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
end
player.CameraMode= 'LockFirstPerson';	--This automatically sets the cam to First Person(Yay...)

Hope that helps!

I do not actually want it to be in first person that is why I'm making my own first person camera I just need the camera to follow the y of the head as in the actual first person mode the camera moves to fast and the head does not keep up with it so I'm trying to get the camera to follow the y position of the head.
