Camera Manipulation Issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to script a cutscene for when you transform in my game. The code isn’t running properly.

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until plr.Character
local c = plr.Character
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

game.ReplicatedStorage.cam.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local P = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
	P.CFrame = c.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,2)
	P.Anchored = true
	P.CanCollide = false
	cam.CameraType = "Fixed"
	cam.Focus = P.CFrame
end)

I am trying to make a part spawn wherever you are so the cutscene works anywhere.

#2

Have you tried manipulating the camera’s CFrame?

#3

I believe you need to enclose your CFrame location inside of the CFrame.new()

P.CFrame = CFrame.new(c.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,2))
#4

Try setting the camera type to Scriptable

#5

I did that earlier didn’t work.

#6

Yes I have tried and it didnt work

#7

Quick question. Would I have to spawn the part on the server then send it to the client? maybe cameras require server sided parts

#8

Wait is this a local script or normal script? And where is it located?

#9

If you wanted to access that part from multiple localscripts then yes (I am unsure if you can access the same locally made part via _G or modulescripts), you would need to spawn it from the server. But I don’t think that’s the problem.

#10

Because if it is a local script please make sure it is in a location where it will run. This Local Script Article on the Developer API will tell you where a local script can run.

#11

Make sure if it is in a localscript and not a script. Localplayer can only be accessed by localscripts.

#12

it works even if it’s server-sided just even tried it

I have a module which moves smoothly or hard move on the player’s cam to the desired position if you wanted too!
