Why does the camera not focus and stays static?
local lplayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until lplayer.Character
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local target = lplayer.Character.Torso
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
cam.CameraSubject = target
cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(30,30,30)
local angle = 0
for i,v in pairs(lplayer.Character.Torso:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("Part") and v.Name == "Blocky" then
local newtarget = lplayer.Character.Torso.Blocky
while wait() do
cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(newtarget.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, angle, 0) * CFrame.new(0, 0, 5)
angle = angle + math.rad(1)
end
end
end
It doens't focus on "Blocky" which is a 2x2x2 cube that's child of Torso.
** Edit **Blocky is not a valid member of Part ** It's a local script **

Have you tried CFrame.new(0, 0, -5)? XAXA 1569 — 8y

The problem in your script lies at line 16: You're assuming that Blocky is always created before the script runs, when in fact this isn't the case. According to a conversation we had, Blocky is added to the player immediately after spawning, and the script runs also immediately after spawning.
Solution
You don't even have to iterate through the player's Torso. To fix this, use WaitForChild("name"). WaitForChild("name") yields the current thread (pauses the script) until a child with a matching name is found. The child is then returned.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local lplayer = Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until lplayer.Character
local Torso = lplayer.Character:WaitForChild("Torso")
local Blocky = Torso:WaitForChild("Blocky") -- it's good practice (read: necessary) to chain WaitForChild() for each descendant.
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
cam.CameraSubject = Torso
cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
local angle = 0
while wait() do
cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(Blocky.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, angle, 0) * CFrame.new(0, 0, 5)
angle = angle + math.rad(1)
end
