How do I get the camera to rotate 180° around the player?

[Maelstorm_1973]

Hello,

I’m trying to get the camera to rotate around the player 180° around the player. I got the player to rotate using some fancy CFrame manipulation, but I can’t seem to get the camera to follow suit. Here’s the code that I have so far:

-- When triggered from the server, causes the camera to
-- rotate 180° about the player.
event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
	local ctype = camera.CameraType
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi, 0)
	camera.CameraType = ctype
end)

I’m going to continue to play with this code.

I think you could maybe do something like this:

local offset = camera.CFrame.Position - player.Character.Head.Position
camera.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(player.Character.Head.Position + Vector3.new(-offset.X, offset.Y, -offset.Z), player.Character.Head.Position)

Basically, in this approach, you just move the camera to the opposite side across the player, then you point the camera at the player.
