I used Camera Manipulation, but my character flips out... Why does it do that and how can I fix it?

Asked 265 views1 answers

So I was learning about Camera Manipulation, and when I tested it out, all of a sudden my character flips out for no reason when I move... Is there a reason why it does that, and how can I fix it?

Here's a link to the video demonstrating my player freaking out.

Link: https://youtu.be/xhN3O9pm9yE

And here's the code for the Camera Manipulation:

local target = game.Workspace.SpawnLocation
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CameraSubject = target
local angle = 0
		 
while wait() do
	camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position)  --Start at the position of the part
		                   * CFrame.Angles(0, angle, 0) --Rotate by the angle
		                   * CFrame.new(0, 10, 30)       --Move the camera backwards 30units, 10 units up
	angle = angle + math.rad(1)
		
	script.Parent.Play.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()				
						
		script.Parent.Play.Visible = false	
						
		game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
		game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = "Custom"	
			
	end)	
end

And if you'd like to check out the place for yourself, here's the link to that, too.

Note: Don't mind the donations thing for my place, I used to have BC, but it expired, so I wanted to use the script at the place of Donations. Also, I learned this information from Roblox Wikipedia... If that helps at all :P

Thank you :)

The camera will not stop rotating after clicking Play. What's worse, you're making multiple connections to the same event every time the loop is run (line 13). I would suggest putting the connection to the MouseButton1Click event above the loop, and making the loop stop after the player clicks play.

local target = game.Workspace.SpawnLocation
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CameraSubject = target
local angle = 0
--if the player clicks the play button, set this value to true
local IsPlaying = false

script.Parent.Play.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()             
        -- sets IsPlaying to true, now we can stop the loop
	IsPlaying = true
	script.Parent.Play.Visible = false  
	-- You may want to set the `Enabled` property to false, too.

        game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
        game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = "Custom"  
end)    

 -- while the player isn't playing, rotate the camera
while not IsPlaying do
        camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position)  --Start at the position of the part
                           * CFrame.Angles(0, angle, 0) --Rotate by the angle
                           * CFrame.new(0, 10, 30)       --Move the camera backwards 30units, 10 units up
        angle = angle + math.rad(1)
	-- move the wait down here
	wait()
end
