Bring camera back to player view?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a camera pointing at a part, however, I can’t get it back to player view:

repeat
    wait();
    Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;
until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;

Camera.CFrame = workspace.Part.CFrame;

And in my function to stop the camera (go back to normal view):

repeat
    wait();
    Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom;
until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Custom;

Couldn’t you just reset the CameraType back to Custom:

Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

That’s what I did? Check the second chunk of code. O_o

Oop sorry, Didn’t notice that!

Maybe you could try setting the CFrame, CameraSubject, and CameraFocus too

local CameraCFrame = Camera.CFrame -- This variable needs to be set before changing the CFrame

Camera.CameraSubject = Humanoid -- Define the Player's Humanoid
Camera.Focus = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame -- Define the Player's HumanoidRootPart
Camera.CFrame = CameraCFrame

Hello, ILikeTurtlesUwU. The functions you provided could work, but we need to see where and how you are calling them to fully resolve your issue.

Those two functions are the only places I’m calling the Camera. :confused:

I believe you misunderstood my question. Functions can be called throughout the code. For example:

function enableCustomCam()
	repeat
		wait();
		Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;
	until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;

	Camera.CFrame = workspace.Part.CFrame;
end

function disableCustomCam()
	repeat
		wait();
		Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom;
	until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Custom;
end

while wait() do
	if menuCam then
		enableCustomCam()
	else
		disableCustomCam()
	end
end

It could be because you’re using a server script to change the camera back to the player. Each player has their own camera, so you can’t edit it from a server script.

Consider defining functions locally and using task.wait() (1/60th of a frame delay) instead of wait() (1/30th of a frame delay). Alternatively you can use RunService.RenderStepped:Wait() (which also yields for 1/60th of a frame) which is purposed for camera-related scripting.
