offset is the location of the head cameraPosition is a Vector2 with X being pitch and Y being yaw
The pitch and yaw are moved with the mouse
My issue is that the rotation doesn’t move with the camera making yaw become roll making it feel more like a flight simulator
How do I get the rotation to apply on the right pivot?
Video:
It’s obviously the Z vector but I do not know how to correct it
cameraPosition is a bit of a misnomer and I should probably change it
As I’ve already stated cameraPosition.X is pitch and cameraPosition.Y is yaw. They are both in radians.
Assuming that the first CFrame doesn’t have any added on angles, we’re good with that. Then you add the first and second arguments, which don’t affect the z, it’s 0.
No, however I do in fact see the Z orientation changing in the properties viewer for some reason despite being set to 0 (or -pi sometimes for some reason) in the cframe when I print it (and yes the camera mode is correct)
Theoretically setting the camera type to Scriptable should disable all default behavior and changing the render priority doesn’t do anything
From what I can tell, when facing directly left or right of the starting position of the camera, moving the camera up and down will result in the camera rolling instead of changing pitch and the axis it does it on is the original axis it started with
My guess is that the rotation axis doesn’t update when the camera rotates so what looks like roll is actually pitch on the wrong axis
Here’s a reproduction script (it’s got some weirdness like a wait n stuff that aren’t in the full script)
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local config = UserSettings():GetService("UserGameSettings")
-- The player and their character
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
task.wait(3) -- Let the character properly load (not in original script)
for i,v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then v.Transparency = 1 end
end
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
-- The camera and its settings
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCurrentPosition -- LockCenter doesn't work in studio for some reason
-- The rotation of the camera
local cameraPosition = Vector2.new(0, 0)
-- Function to move the camera
local function moveCamera(dx, dy)
local speed = config.MouseSensitivity/100
local newPosition = cameraPosition + Vector2.new(dy * speed, -dx * speed)
newPosition = Vector2.new(math.clamp(newPosition.X, -math.pi/2, math.pi/2), newPosition.Y)
cameraPosition = newPosition
end
UserInputService.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
if true then -- There is supposed to be a condition here but not necessary for repro
local delta = UserInputService:GetMouseDelta()
moveCamera(delta.X, delta.Y)
end
end
end)
RunService:BindToRenderStep("Camera", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value,function()
if character and head then
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(head.Position)*CFrame.Angles(cameraPosition.X, cameraPosition.Y, 0)
end
end)
Ok, a lot of things interesting about this script. First of all, you’re multiplying the CFrame head position by a CFrame that has it’s parameters as the position, which isn’t going to work, and is going to have buggy behavior.
Not only is that math all wrong (math.clamp(x,0,0)?), I already said it does not work and the Z axis is already 0 on the CFrame but it’s rotating on the wrong pivot
