Camera is not positioned in the intended position

#1

I’m trying to achieve a goal which is positioning a part (Camera) depending on the Player’s head position, this is what it looks:


My current Part positioning:

local SecondCamera = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head
FakeCamera.Position = Vector3.new(SecondCamera.Position.X+8,SecondCamera.Position.Y,SecondCamera.Position.Z)
FakeCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(FakeCamera.Position,SecondCamera.Position)

Any suggestions are appreciated!

It looks like you’re succesfully doing that. You’ll need to be more specific about what your issue is.

#3

It must face the head’s front, it is not doing that. Well, it isn’t in front of the head.

#4 
FakeCamera.CFrame = SecondCamera.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -8) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi, 0)

Like that?

Yeah, exactly what I did when I changed from Position to CFrame, instead of math.pi I used the SecondCamera Orientation’s Y

Could you please explain what you’re doing with the CFrames here?

#7 
FakeCamera.CFrame =

-- we start at the same position + rotation as the head...
SecondCamera.CFrame 

-- nudge it forward (-Z axis) by 8 studs (the * operator is relative to the rotation)
* CFrame.new(0, 0, -8) 

-- and spin it around 180 degrees on the Y-axis.
-- math.pi is 180 degrees in radians (i.e. math.rad(180))
* CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi, 0)
