Why isn't my camera manipulation script working?

Asked 203 views1 answers

this is my script:

print('Scipt has started')

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local FocusPart = game.Workspace.FocusPoint
local EndPart = game.Workspace.EndPart


cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
local pos = Vector3.new(85, 4, -13)
local lookAt = Vector3.new(80.75, 5.25, -14.25)
local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(pos, lookAt)
cam.CFrame = cameraCFrame

it is a local script in starter player scripts and its for manipulating the camera to be to "pos" and then look at "lookAt" please help.

you did local FocusPart = game.Workspace.FocusPoint, but there's no part in workspace named FocusPoint

therefore, you need to make sure there's a part named FocusPoint directly in workspace and do game.Workspace:WaitForChild("FocusPoint")

The problem is the code runs sooner than when the default camera scripts load.. therefore, when they load, they overwrite any changes you made to the camera.. so to combat this, you need to add a wait statement on top of the script to allow the default camera scripts to load first..

wait(4)
print('Scipt has started')
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local FocusPart = game.Workspace.FocusPoint
local EndPart = game.Workspace.EndPart


cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
local pos = Vector3.new(85, 4, -13)
local lookAt = Vector3.new(80.75, 5.25, -14.25)
local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(pos, lookAt)
cam.CFrame = cameraCFrame
