How could I make a Scriptable camera still be able to be rotated?

[kh_834 (sisyphus)]

I’m currently creating a shoulder camera right now and so far I think I’m doing pretty good. The only problem I’m having is I don’t know how I could make the camera rotatable whilst the camera is Scriptable.

I have already tried doing mouse positions but that just makes the camera go out of control or just not work at all.

My script is located in StarterGui as a LocalScript

local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
cam.FieldOfView = 100
local rs = game:GetService("RunService")

rs.RenderStepped:Connect(function(deltaTime)
	if cam.CameraType ~= Enum.CameraType.Scriptable then
		cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	end

	local chr = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
	local torso = chr:WaitForChild("Torso")

	local posOff = Vector3.new(2.3, 2.35, 3.5)
	local newPos = CFrame.new(torso.CFrame.p) + posOff

	cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame:Lerp(newPos * cam.CFrame.Rotation, 0.1)
end)

If anymore info is needed please ask!

You’ll have to build the camera CFrame out of two parts, the Position, which I assume is the part you want scripted, and the rotation provided by the player. Since you want a shoulder camera you’ll also have the offset be separate:
cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(scriptedPosition) * rotationCFrame * CFrame.new(positionOffset)
rotationCFrame would then be a CFrame with only rotation, calculated from a yaw and pitch which is in turn controlled by the player.

would rotationCFrame have to be obtained via the mouse or is this without making the camera Scriptable?

Hello, I think your code needs a little modification. Please understand that this code is not debugged or optimized.I think this is what you want to do:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
cam.FieldOfView = 100
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local cameraRotation = Vector2.new()
local rotationSpeed = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5)

UserInputService.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
        cameraRotation = cameraRotation + Vector2.new(input.Delta.x, input.Delta.y) * rotationSpeed
    end
end)

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(deltaTime)
    local character = player.Character
    if character then
        local torso = character:WaitForChild("Torso")

        local yOffset = 2.35
        local distance = 3.5
        local horizontalAngle = math.rad(cameraRotation.x)
        local verticalAngle = math.rad(cameraRotation.y)

        local x = distance * math.cos(verticalAngle) * math.sin(horizontalAngle)
        local y = distance * math.sin(verticalAngle) + yOffset
        local z = distance * math.cos(verticalAngle) * math.cos(horizontalAngle)

        local cameraPosition = torso.CFrame.p + Vector3.new(x, y, z)
        cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPosition, torso.CFrame.p + Vector3.new(0, yOffset, 0))
    end
end)

This is what I was trying to do! Thank you! I’ll have to refine it as it’s not perfect but other than that this is what I was trying to do, thank you!
