Why does this not face the part?

Asked by

local target = workspace.THEPARTINEED
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CameraSubject = target
while wait() do
    camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position)  --Start at the position of the part

end

The camera is still but is not looking at the part?

Any ideas?

Scriptable camera will ignore both CameraSubject and Focus. It's whole purpose is to be fully controlled by your own code. This should work:

local target = workspace.THEPARTINEED
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

while wait() do
    camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position, target.Position + target.CFrame.lookVector) 
end

Right now it will face same direction the part is oriented at, since I wasn't sure where exactly the camera should be located and where it should look.

Also consider using RenderStepped, since wait() is only 1/24 of a second, while roblox renders more often than that. Check these out:

I'd personally use runService:BindToRenderStep(), otherwise do runService.RenderStepped:wait().

Thank you very much but it doesn't work :/ It just locks the camera on the player. jjwood1600 215 — 8y

Hm, I guess you set the target to player's head? Well, that is what it should do, look at the part. At least that's what I understood from your post. ZarsBranchkin 885 — 8y

Yeah, although I copied it exactly and it locked it to the players head and not the part :/ I will carry on trying to figure it out.. jjwood1600 215 — 8y
