To help you understand, I have a script that makes your camera look at where you mouse is.

It works really well when the camera is set to default, however if you were to try it with a scriptable camera type, you'll see that the camera will work much more differently than before.

I'll show my script here.


local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local InputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local CameraOffset = Vector3.new(0, 40, 20)

local Aiming = false



InputService.InputBegan:connect(function(Input, Processed)
	
	if not Processed then
		
		if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
			
			Aiming = true
			
		end
		
	end
	
end)

InputService.InputEnded:connect(function(Input, Processed)
	
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		
		Aiming = false
		
	end	
	
end)





RunService.RenderStepped:connect(function()
	
	Camera.CameraType = "Scriptable" -- REMOVE THIS PART IF YOU WANT TO SEE
								  -- HOW IT SHOULD BE WORKING
	
	local Character = Player.Character
	
	local HumanoidRootPart = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	if HumanoidRootPart then
		
		local PlayerPosition = HumanoidRootPart.Position
		
		local MousePosition = Mouse.hit.p
		
		local RelativePosition = CFrame.new(PlayerPosition):toObjectSpace(CFrame.new(MousePosition)).p
		
		local X, Z = RelativePosition.X, RelativePosition.Z
		
		local CameraPosition = PlayerPosition + CameraOffset
	
		if Aiming then
			
			Camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(CameraPosition, PlayerPosition) + Vector3.new(X, 0, Z)
			
		else
			
			Camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(CameraPosition, PlayerPosition)
				
		end
									
	end
	
end)

Simply remove the line that makes the camera type scriptable to see how it was meant to work, then just click away with the left mouse button to see it in action.

Thank you!
