45 degrees camera/Cframe

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a 45 degrees Camera for my game I want to make the game have levels so each level has its own camera that DOSENT follow the player so each level you pass the game changes the camera

#2

Or if you can just tell me how to make a camera that follows the player but it’s a 45 degrees camera

Make a part, facing in the direction you want your camera to face, and parent it to the Workspace. Make sure it’s anchored, CanCollide is false, and it’s Transparency is 1

In a LocalScript, inside of StarterGui, do this:

local camera = workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part") -- or the name you gave to that part
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = part.CFrame

This is a very basic script, let me know if you have any more questions.

Thank you I will try that soon

Square triangles add up to 180 = 90 + 45 + 45 degrees. We can use this to determine the distances, and then use the CFrame look at function to push the angles for us.

local Player	= game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Camera	= game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local CAMERA_DISTANCE = 5

local function isAlive(Player)
	-- Function to check if our player is dead/alive
	local char = Player.Character
	if not char or not char:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace) or not char:FindFirstChild "Humanoid" or char.Humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead then
		return
	end
	return true
end

game:GetService('RunService').RenderStepped:connect(function (delta)
	if isAlive(Player) then
		local Character = Player.Character
		-- If you look at the picture I posted, it'll show that x/y is equidistance, thus both distances are equal...
		-- Then we can make the camera look at the head via CFrame.new(Offset, Head Position)
		Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(CFrame.new(Character.Head.Position) * CFrame.new(0, CAMERA_DISTANCE, CAMERA_DISTANCE)).p, Character.Head.Position)
	end
end)

Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function ()
	-- Reset the camera to scriptable with each new character (as this resets on death)
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
end)

p.s. you didn’t state in what world axis you wanted the perspective from, so I set it to worldspace axis. You can change this as you desire. Similarly, change the CAMERA_DISTANCE variable to whatever distance you wish.

Yes thanks I will try both of the ways to see witch one works better also what if I want the camera to change position on touch of a block?

#7

So by that, you mean change its perspective in a rotational sense? If you note, I mentioned I told you that I set it as the worldspace axis. So, when a touched event occurs, change the axis of the offset from y, z to x, y etc, or use CFrame.Angles(x, y, z) to change the rotation.

#8

I meant like the camera changing from one level to another dosent matter witch way sideways or any direction

#9

I’m not entirely sure what you mean by that? You’ll need to include a graphic to explain it, or describe it a little more

#10

Ok I’ll send some kind of explanation as soon as possible
