How do I make a movable camera?
So I've been trying to make a camera that is controllable by the arrow keys (kinda like League of Legends). But in my endeavor to create this glorious camera I have ran into a problem, I don't know how to check when the key isn't being pressed anymore, so I don't know when to break. ( I also plan on copying the function "onRightKeyPress" for Left, up, & Down.)
local cameraPiece = workspace.CameraPart
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CameraSubject = cameraPiece
camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPiece.Position)
* CFrame.Angles(-45, 0, 0)
* CFrame.new(0, 5, 0)
function onRightKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Right then
while inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Right do
print("Right was pressed")
workspace.CameraPart.CFrame = workspace.CameraPart.CFrame+Vector3.new(50,0,0)
camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPiece.Position)
* CFrame.Angles(-45, 0, 0)
wait(0.1)
end
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onRightKeyPress)
I have also tryed the IsKeyDown function, but it says it isn't in my library
thanks to anyone who can help

I've never used UserInputService before - I've always used key press functions from the Mouse object (yes it does more than Mouse movement detection)
Nonetheless, I've figured out a solution by setting up an InputEnded event - here's my modifications to your code (I'm not sure if the camera will work or not, but I did get the input working - you might make some tweaks to the wait(.1):
local cameraPiece = workspace.CameraPart
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CameraSubject = cameraPiece
camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPiece.Position)
* CFrame.Angles(-45, 0, 0)
* CFrame.new(0, 5, 0)
local inputEnded=false
function onRightKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Right and inputEnded==false then
while inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Right and inputEnded==false do
print("Right was pressed")
workspace.CameraPart.CFrame = workspace.CameraPart.CFrame+Vector3.new(50,0,0)
camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPiece.Position) * CFrame.Angles(-45, 0, 0)
wait(0.1)
end
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onRightKeyPress)
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(function()
inputEnded=true -- breaks your while loop
wait(0.1)
inputEnded = false -- reset, and ready to go again...
end)
