Camera view changing doesnt work as intended

[Windy_GP (MisterP)]

I’m trying to make a script that changes player’s camera CFrame then turns back to the original CFrame. But the camera view when resetting back is not like the original.

This is my local script:

local testpart = workspace:WaitForChild("testpart")
local db = false

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

local originalcam = cam.CFrame

testpart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") and not db then
		db = true
		
		cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable		
		cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame * CFrame.new(10000,1000,1000)
		
		task.wait(2)
		
		cam.CFrame = originalcam
		cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

		task.wait(5)
		db = false		
		
	end
end)

In the vid, the view turns back to the side instead of behind the player.

You’re calling cam = workspace.CurrentCamera at the script’s start, so it only runs once as soon as the script begins. (Edit: small clarification, you’re setting the camera’s CFrame equal to originalcam so I slightly misread that. However, the point still applies.)

Instead put it inside the .Touched. Also, be sure to set the CFrame object to originalcam.CFrame and not just originalcam.
