Camera Facing Wrong Direction With Scriptable?

Asked 229 views1 answers

The goal of this script is to set the camera to put the "Focuspoint" on the center and have it face the part from straight on.

I currently have:

repeat wait() until game:GetService('ContentProvider').RequestQueueSize == 0

Focuspoint = workspace.Lobbys:WaitForChild(game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer.Name.."'s Lobby").Stage.Focuspoint

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
cam.CameraSubject = Focuspoint
cam.Focus = CFrame.new(Focuspoint.Position)

wait()
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(0,9.2,0)

The camera looks to the right at a 90 degree angle from the center, and using cframe.angles doesnt help with that issue

Just reduce the distance yourself. Instead of Vector3.new(0, 9.2, 0), do Vector3.new(0, 5, 0) or something smaller instead.

If you just want it 5 studs above FocusPoint then CFrame.new( Focuspoint.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0), Focuspoint.Position) would probably do.

Remove lines 05-09. That's going to be ignored by setting the CameraType to Scriptable anyhow.

As for line 11, you can construct a CFrame starting at Vector3.new(0, 9.2, 0) looking at Focuspoint.Position with CFrame.new( Vector3.new(0, 9.2, 0), Focuspoint.Position).
