I want to make something that when a play touches a part or clicks a button , their camera moves to an exact position, and they can't move it, and when they press a button their camera reverts to normal.

01wait() --Waits for player to load
02 
03function MoveCamera(cframe, button)
04    local prevCFrame = game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CFrame
05    local camType = game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CameraType
06 
07    game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable --Disables player moving camera
08 
09    game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CFrame = cframe --Set camera position
10 
11    buttonEvent = button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() --Change 'MouseButton1Click' to 'MouseClick' if using ClickDetector
12        game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CameraType = camType
13        game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CFrame = prevCFrame
14        pcall(function() --Incase of error
15            buttonEvent:Disconnect() --Disconnects event from function so it only runs once
16        end)
17    end)
18end

20--e.g. MoveCamera(CFrame.new(0, 10, 0), GuiButton)

edit:

`1`	`local` `prevCFrame` `=` `game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CFrame`

`2`	`local` `camType` `=` `game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CameraType`

Stores the players camera data.

`1`	`game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CameraType` `=` `Enum.CameraType.Scriptable`

Removes the ability for the player to move the camera.

`1`	`game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CFrame` `=` `cframe`

Sets the camera cframe to the one used in the function.

`1`	`game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CameraType` `=` `camType`

`2`	`game:GetService("Workspace").Camera.CFrame` `=` `prevCFrame`

Sets the camera data back to before it was changed, fixes the camera.

`1`	`buttonEvent:Disconnect()`

Disconnects the event so it cannot run again.

Hopefully the edit helps.
