Hello! I’m trying to make a player-cutscene and the camera is still attached to the player head? Here is the script I use for the camera:

Couldn’t really find and solutions for this problem :confused:

Any help is appreciated :slight_smile:
Thanks!

You can make the camera mode to scriptable !

it is. (char limit goofy ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

	if running then
		updatechar()

		AngleX = AngleX + (TargetAngleX - AngleX) *0.35 
		local dist = TargetAngleY - AngleY 
		dist = math.abs(dist) > 180 and dist - (dist / math.abs(dist)) * 360 or dist 
		AngleY = (AngleY + dist *0.35) %360
        //its right here
		cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
		
		cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(head.Position)

Why don’t you do it at the beginning of the script instead of setting it every image per second ?
Else I don’t really see the error !
But try to print the TargetCamPos, CamPos, AngleX and see if the values change or not !

It stops printing, as expected because of the

if moveThing then return end

and when the cutscene starts it prints yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes (x200) which is expected.
So the Camera CFrame isn’t getting set, but I dont know why. (btw there is no error getting printed its just not functioning correctly)

I believe you need to put a change of the CameraType to Scriptable for the camera CFrame to change. It would explain why you didn’t get any errors

-- THIS IS MY ATTEMPT OF TRYING TO FIX THE THING
local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local moveThing = false
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Local.switchcameratype.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(obj)
	moveThing = not moveThing
	if moveThing then
		print("asdasdasdada")
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = obj.Parent
		cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable --Change to scriptable
		while moveThing == true do
			wait()
			print("yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes")
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = obj.CFrame
		end
	else
		cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom --Change back to roblox default camera systems
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
		print("AHAHAHASHJDAJHDAJSHSJDHDHJADJHHJHJSAHASHAJDSDHJDSAHJAHJDSHJASHJDSAADSJHDAHJSDAJSHJASDH")
	end
end)

it already is set to Scriptable. Doesn’t work sadly :frowning:

#8

forgot to disable a script controlling the camera. Im… dumb.
