Camera lock rotation to mouse, like in shift lock mode?
The title sounds odd I know.
I have a camera script and I am trying to make a custom 3rd person camera script. Like the one roblox has when you enable shift lock but I am making my own because theres is a little... Well lets say limiting.
I am trying to figure out how to make the camera rotate with the mouse like in shift lock mode.
Heres my script so far.
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat
wait()
until player.Character
local character = player.Character
local player_Torso = character.Torso
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CameraSubject = player_Torso
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(player_Torso.CFrame.X + 2, player_Torso.CFrame.Y + 2, player_Torso.CFrame.Z + 4)
camera.FieldOfView = 90
end)
Thank you for your time. :)

CFrame can have two arguments, which are its position and the lookAt facing direction. If you set the facing direction to the lookVector of the torso after it is offsetted from the position, it should point in the same direction that the torso is.
local cameraPosition = Vector3.new(player_Torso.Position.X + 2, player_Torso.Position.Y + 2, player_Torso.Position.Z + 4) camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPosition, cameraPosition + player_Torso.CFrame.lookVector)

I mean like, you know how ROBLOX has a shift lock mode. I wanted to lock the characteres lookvector and the cameras look vector the the mouse or center of the screen GottaHaveAFunTime 218 — 6y

Then you could use game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Hit.p as the lookAt argument. mattscy 3725 — 6y
