Why will my player not move and how do I make it follow the mouse?
Hello, I am new to the community here. I have been recently been working on a game where I have a sphere that is the player. I made it so that you could view the player from perfect top down. Unfortunately, when I did this the player stopped moving with WASD keys. I noticed that as soon as I change the Vector3 to not point the CFrame all the way down the character moves again but in a diagonal and inverted way.
Here's my code:
01 | print("Intalized Camera Script") |
03 | local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") |
04 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
06 | local OFFSET = Vector3.new(0, 400, 0) |
09 | local player = Players.LocalPlayer |
10 | local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera |
12 | camera.FieldOfView = FOV |
14 | local function onRenderStep() |
15 | local character = player.Character |
17 | local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") |
18 | if humanoidRootPart then |
19 | local playerPos = humanoidRootPart.Position |
20 | local cameraPos = playerPos + OFFSET |
21 | camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPos, playerPos) |
26 | RunService:BindToRenderStep("Camera", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value, onRenderStep) |
I followed the Roblox Wiki tutorial and modified it to fit my needs. I have been searching for hours for answers. Maybe I am blind and can't read or I am finding nothing.
Basically I need help composing a script that will allow my player to move by following the direction the mouse is pointing on the screen. I am trying to keep my view to be perfectly looking straight down.
Please note that I am new to Lua completely and am not looking to be spoon fed the script. But please be as detailed as possible so I can learn :D.
Thanks!
