90 Degree Camera

Tired of playing FPS styled games with your camera locked at 80 degrees meaning you cant aim straight up or down? Well I have a solution. 90 degree cameras are possible in roblox (well- 89.95 degrees to be exact) so why aren’t we using them?

High quality FPS games such as Arsenal don’t even use 90 degree cameras. If your thinking of making your own FPS engine, consider using my free Custom Camera for a better playing experience.

Not everyone care for such realism, sometimes gameplay is more important than that, but you’re not wrong.

No, wait… You can look down 90º, no? Although your head can’t do it alone, you can curve your back a bit and done, no?

Well, now seriously saying, it’s an interesting mechanic to add, I’m not home to test it out for myself though.
Once I’m home I’ll add it to my game to test it out and edit this with my thoughts on how it works out.
Thanks for the contribution!

Yeahh, that’s the thing a lot of FPS styled games out of the Roblox engine don’t have the camera locked at 80 degrees. Thought creating this will advance the quality of FPS games on the Roblox engine.

Great to hear, no problem! Once you test it out, let me know how it feels as I’d like to improve upon it if I can :slight_smile:

New Update: Version 1.1 is now released!

Version additions:

  1. Commented on most stuff to explain to users how the code works.
  2. Added Camera Styles; set the style to “Smooth” for a smooth moving camera and set it to “Raw” or blank for a default Roblox camera feel.
  3. Fixed bug where player’s face would sometimes obstruct the camera.
  4. Neatened the script up a bit.

Get the camera here:

In reality, you can bend your neck, head, and shoulders beyond 90 degrees to look down, lol.

Made a modification of this script, which you can find here:

Now supports gamepad, hides character particles in first person, and the player’s sensitivity in settings is taken into account.

so you can replace the function in the BaseCamera module in the original PlayerModule and you will be able to keep the original camera control, but you will be able to rotate the camera by 90 degrees. Replace the CalculateNewLookCFrameFromArg function with this one:

function BaseCamera:CalculateNewLookCFrameFromArg(suppliedLookVector: Vector3?, rotateInput: Vector2): CFrame
	local currLookVector: Vector3 = suppliedLookVector or self:GetCameraLookVector()

	local currPitch = math.asin(currLookVector.Y)
	local newPitch = currPitch - rotateInput.Y

	local pitchClamp = 0.999 * math.pi/2
	if newPitch > pitchClamp then
		newPitch = pitchClamp
	elseif newPitch < -pitchClamp then
		newPitch = -pitchClamp
	end

	local yaw = math.atan2(-currLookVector.X, -currLookVector.Z) - rotateInput.X
	return CFrame.Angles(0, yaw, 0) * CFrame.Angles(newPitch, 0, 0)
end
