Camera movement not moving repeatedly when holding down a certain arrow key

[imnotaguest1121 (Diabolical_Subspace)]

Hello Developers!

I’ve created a Local-Script under StarterCharacter called “2DCameraMovment”. The script function is to replicate those games where rather than the camera following your character, it allows you to simply move your camera freely, such as Lobotomy Corporation. The issue? It has to do with the camera move functions, it does move the camera, although it doesn’t repeatedly move while it’s corresponding arrow key is pressed. (For example, if I press the Left Arrow Key, the camera moves left but after a brief moment, it won’t move despite me holding the Left Arrow Key.)

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
Camera.FieldOfView = 80

local char = script.Parent

You need to create a loop that runs while the key is down, currently it moves the camera once and it doesn’t know it has to move it again while the key is down

This is pretty simple to fix, just use UserInputService:IsKeyDown in a repeat loop to check if the key is still being held (and use task.wait, we dont want infinite loops here)

repeat
  -- camera code
  task.wait()
until not UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A)

In all honesty I would just be moving the camera to the parts position on render stepped. I’m working on a game with code like this and that’s my method.

Thanks! It actually works.
