Hello!
Lately I've been making a top down game with a custom camera. I've been having a problem with the camera though, I can't seem to get it to raycast correctly and move correctly up or down (depending on ceiling height). I'm not sure what the problem is but heres the code.
local cameraray = Ray.new(humanoidroot.CFrame.p,humanoidroot.CFrame.p + Vector3.new(0,maxY+1,0))
local part,pos = workspace:FindPartOnRay(cameraray, playercharacter,true,true)
if part then
maxY = (pos - humanoidroot.CFrame.p).unit.magnitude + (part.Size.Y/4)
end
addY = minY + humanoidroot.Velocity.magnitude/10
if maxY < 0 then
maxY = maxY * -1
end
if addY >= maxY then
addY = maxY
end
if addY < playeropacitydistance then
for i,v in pairs(limbs) do
if v then
v.Transparency = v.Transparency + 0.05
if v.Transparency > playeropacity then
v.Transparency = playeropacity
end
end
end
else
for i,v in pairs(limbs) do
if v then
v.Transparency = v.Transparency - 0.05
if v.Transparency < 0 then
v.Transparency = 0
end
end
end
end

How exactly are you setting the CFrame of the camera? I figured that CFrame.new(rayHit, HumanoidRootPart) would have been enough, assuming that the camera already tracks your Character's position "horizontally".
Also, and I know that this is a design choice, but instead of moving the camera, why not just make the parts in-between the camera and the character semi-transparent? That's less jarring that whatever you're planning on doing, in my opinion.
Im using lerping with the end cframe of ; CFrame.new(humanoidroot.Position.X,humanoidroot.Position.Y + addY,humanoidroot.Position.Z). Secondly I'd perfer if the camera moved BUT I should probably try using part transparency
Mind trying CFrame.new(humanoidroot.Position, Vector3.new(humanoidroot.Position.X, pos.Y,humanoidroot.Position.Z)), where pos is where the ray hit? If your camera has a maximum height, then just use math.min(hit.Y, MAX_HEIGHT) as the y instead.
Sure
