How to make parts in the camera follow the player?
I am trying to make a sort of 'fog' in my game by using an inverted sphere and having it attached to the players camera so i don't have to use any physics.
The problem I am running into is that the parts after they are made no longer update their position, so they are just in one spot. How do i make it so they are always attached to the player's position?
Here is the code:
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
wait() hrp = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
--creating the fog
fogholder = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace.CurrentCamera)
fog = Instance.new("SpecialMesh", fogholder)
fogholder.Anchored = true
fogholder.CanCollide = false
fogholder.Size = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
fogholder.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(255,255,255)
fogholder.CFrame = CFrame.new(hrp.Position.X, hrp.Position.Y, hrp.Position.Z)
fog.MeshId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1185246"
fog.MeshType = "FileMesh"
fog.Scale = Vector3.new(-250,-250,-250)
Also, I don't want the fog to rotate at all.

This one would be quite simple, just use a loop! For example, you could do...
--...
while hrp.Parent do --stop once character (or just HRP) despawns
--update position
fogholder.CFrame = CFrame.new(hrp.Position.X, hrp.Position.Y, hrp.Position.Z)
--wait for next 2 frames (default)
wait()
end
Although it's by no means the only way to do it, you could bind it to RenderStepped or the like, go wild.
--EDIT: Here's how you could do just that, although it involves a tad more lines.
--NOTE: Untested.
local RS=game:GetService"RunService" --get RunService
local updateFog=function()
if not hrp.Parent then --Char is gone! OH NO!
RS:UnbindFromRenderStep("UpdateFog")
return
end
fogholder.CFrame = CFrame.new(hrp.Position.X, hrp.Position.Y, hrp.Position.Z)
end
--Call the function right before the camera updates, for example
RS:BindToRenderStep("UpdateFog", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value - 1, updateFog)
