Camera focus on Helicopter

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

  1. What do you want to achieve? Hello, i have a proximity prompt on a helicopter where it would make your camera focus on the helicopter. (The helicopter is just a basic model)

  2. What is the issue? The camera dosen’t follow the helicopter.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I tried changing the camera subject and the cameratype but it dosen’t work (when i try manually it works, but not in the script).

a laggy solution is to lock your cam into a part then use CFrame.lookat() to look at the heli or u can use something like this
local lookVector = (partToLookAt.Position - camera.CFrame.Position).Unit camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position,camera.CFrame.Position + lookVector)
remember to set the cam to scriptable

3

Will i still be able to look around just like the default character if i do that?

4

umm no you cannot move your cam around while it’s focusing on the helicopter because the cam is locked to the heli

5

when you changed the camera subject, did you do it from a localscript? As you’re only able to control the camera from the client.

Yeah when i changed the camera subject i did it from a local script

7

Can you send pictures of the code and where the script is located?

Because as far as I know it should work if you successfully execute it from a local script

ok i think you are struggling too much here is the script, it works on my side, just put it under the proxypromt and it should work fine i assume

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent
local LookAtPart = workspace.PartToLookAt

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
    local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local character = player.Character
    if character then
        local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
        if humanoid then
            local playerRoot = humanoid.RootPart
            if playerRoot then
                local camera = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Camera
                if camera then
                    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
                    camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(playerRoot.Position, LookAtPart.Position)
                    
                    local function onCharacterAdded(newCharacter)
                        local newHumanoid = newCharacter:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
                        if newHumanoid then
                            humanoid = newHumanoid
                            playerRoot = newHumanoid.RootPart
                        end
                    end
                    character.ChildAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
                    
                    local function UpdateCamera()
                        if humanoid and playerRoot then
                            camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(playerRoot.Position, LookAtPart.Position)
                        end
                    end
                    game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(UpdateCamera)
                end
            end
        end
    end
