How to make someone's camera follow another person's camera?

Asked by 9 years ago

I'm attempting to make a killcam script. How do I make it so that the player's camera follows the person who killed them when they die?

This is a really common script that you can find in free models. Just search for "killcam script" and you'll find several.

I'll walk you through the basics though:

  1. Detecting what player killed you: Most tools create an ObjectValue named "creator" in your character when they damage you. When your Humanoid's Died Event fires, you check if the "creator" tag exists inside your character. If it does, it gives you a reference to the player who killed you.

Example:

player.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
    local killerTag = player.Character.Humanoid:findFirstChild("creator")
    if killerTag then
        local killerPlayer = killerTag.Value
    end
end)
  1. Making your camera follow another person's character

Just set your camera's CameraSubject property to the other player's character.

Example:

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera -- must call from a localscript
camera.CameraSubject = killerPlayer.Character

local hum =game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid hum.Died:connect(function() if hum:findFirstChild"creator" then workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = hum.creator.Value.Character.Humanoid end end)
