Is there any way to "attach" the camera to a moving part?

I have a spaceship that will move towards the mouse position when pressing W. When you control it, you have to constantly readjust the camera to face the direction you would like to go. Is there a way to make the camera act as if it was moving with the ship?

Also it would be good to mention that the ship is controlled in 3rd person.

I have tried to set the CFrame of the camera to be behind the ship but it is very jittery and doesn't rotate.

You could continuously in a loop change Camera.Focus Vulkarin 581 — 5y

So in a LocalScript you can do this.

local Part = game.Workspace.Part -- Change this to the part
game.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = Part

yes, I have already done this (sorry, should have been more specific). I want to lock the camera to rotate with the ship XXXlawsonXXX 52 — 5y

I cannot figure that out, camera is not my expertise. Shadrz 40 — 5y

Sounds like you want to change the CameraType of the camera to either Follow or Attach.

workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Follow
-- or
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Attach

Well, it's simple. You just have to loop around the line of code so it keeps changing. and i do recommend changing the camera's cframe instead of its subject

local camerapart = script.Parent --put the attached part here
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

while true do
    wait(0.01) --make this lower if it's not keeping up
    camera.CFrame = camerapart.CFrame
end

this script might not work cuz i suck or i might not understanded what you said. and idk if theres another efficent way
