Help on Camera Manipulation: Why does this happen?
My Script:
local gui = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local cam = game.Workspace.Camera
local distance = 10
local p = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local check = false
script.Parent.Menu2.Training.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
p.LowerTorso.CFrame = CFrame.new(0, 1066.35+5, 31.286)
p.LowerTorso.Anchored = false
focushere = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name).focus
cam.CameraSubject = focushere
p.Humanoid.Jump = true
p.LeftFoot.Touched:Connect(function()
if check == false then
cam.CameraType = "Fixed"
script.parent.Menu2.Visible = false
script.parent.Background.Visible = false
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMaxZoomDistance = distance
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMinZoomDistance = distance
cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(9.9973382949829,focushere.CFrame.Y,focushere.CFrame.Z) -- z = 27.442066192627 y =
--cam.CoordinateFrame = focushere.CFrame * CFrame.new(8,0,0) --* CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(2))
check = true
p.Check.Value = true
else
return
end
end)
end)
repeat
wait()
until gui.Startgame.Visible == false and gui.Menu.Visible == false and gui.Menu2.Visible == false
function rotate()
local root_part_one = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name).HumanoidRootPart
local root_part_two = game.Workspace.StarterCharacter.HumanoidRootPart
-- Face player 1 towards player 2
root_part_one.CFrame = CFrame.new(root_part_one.Position, root_part_two.Position)
-- Face player 2 towards player 1
root_part_two.CFrame = CFrame.new(root_part_two.Position, root_part_one.Position)
end
function follow()
--cam.CoordinateFrame = cam.CoordinateFrame * CFrame.new(1,0,0)-- * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(2))
cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(9.9973382949829,focushere.CFrame.Y,focushere.CFrame.Z)
end
check3 = true
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
p.Humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function()
check3 = false
end)
if(check3 == true) then
if(p.Humanoid.Health > 0) then
--rotate();
follow()
end
else
check3 = true
end
end)
Problem: Why is it that when I try setting Y and Z values of the Camera's CFrame to the Y and Z values of focus, the camera just faces forward? What I hope to happen is for the camera to face the right side of my player similar to that of a 2D game. Anyone have any clue what I did wrong or have a better solution to this? If so please help!
Clarification: focus and focushere is the same thing, Its just a part I place in front of my player's head to be the Camera's focus.

Well, if you want the camera to just face to the side of the player, you can use the following in a LocalScript
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = "Fixed"
local character = player.Character or workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
function cameraUpdate()
local root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(root.CFrame.X, root.CFrame.Y + 4, 12)
end
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(cameraUpdate)
The Z-Output is the offset from the character to the side, and the "Fixed" style is meant to make sure the camera cannot change angles (the render stepped will automatically move the camera anyway)
However, in relation to fixing your script, on lines 28 and 56, you have the following line of code (i rounded the 9.997...)
cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(10, focus.CFrame.Y, focus.CFrame.Z)
You cannot call the Y and Z positions of a CFrame, so you need to call them with the Position Vector as shown below.
cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(10, focus.Position.Y, focus.Position.Z)
