Camera not tracking

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I want the camera just to look at the players Y and Z position with a constant X value. The script works if I do not have a constant x value.

	local lookAt = Vector3.new(-35.375,game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position.Y, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position.Z) 
    camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(workspace.townCenterLeftExit.Position.X + 20,25,game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position.Z + 15), lookAt)
``` This updates every frame
```lua
    local lookAt  = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
    camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(workspace.townCenterLeftExit.Position.X + 20,25,game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position.Z + 15), lookAt)

This one works, but is not what I am looking for

if you want the camera to stay in the same position, you could do something like

local humanoidRootPartPosition = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
local newCameraPosition = Vector3.new(workspace.townCenterLeftExit.Position.X + 20, 25, humanoidRootPartPosition.Z + 15)
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(newCameraPosition)
camera.LookAt(newCameraPosition, Vector3.new(-35.375, humanoidRootPartPosition.Y, humanoidRootPartPosition.Z))

which I think should work. Tell me if it doesn’t work

Oh my bad i did not read the bottom text. Try

local xValue = math.rad(271) -- whatever fixed value you want
local _, playerYDirection, playerZDirection = camera.CFrame:ToOrientation()
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.Position) * CFrame.fromOrientation(xValue, playerYDirection, playerZDirection)

which will definitely work

This one does move the camera, but it spins at 10000 mph. Makes it unplayable. Here what I’m trying to make is a “2d” game where the camera follows the player, but if the player gets too close to the side of the map the camera will stop moving

Here is my code base

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local lookAt = Vector3.new()
local beAt = Vector3.new()
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local humanoidRootPartPosition = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
	--if (humanoidRootPartPosition-workspace.townCenterLeftExit.Position).Magnitude <= 20 then

		lookAt =  game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
		beAt = Vector3.new(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position.X,25,game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position.Z + 15)
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(beAt, lookAt)
	

end)

ah in that case this should work

local xValue = math.rad(271) -- whatever fixed value you want
local _, playerYDirection, playerZDirection = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame:ToOrientation()
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.Position) * CFrame.fromOrientation(xValue, playerYDirection, playerZDirection)
