CFrame orientation being off

HELP! I want to make an intro cutscene but when I load in the camera’s orientation is wrong.

Here is the script:

local Controls = require(LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.PlayerModule):GetControls()

Controls:Disable()

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(4,6.5,4.5)

camera.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-14.5),math.rad(-40),math.rad(0))

I have printed the math.rad() normally and it seems to work fine, but when i use it here, instead of getting the orientation as -14.5,-40,0 I get -11.058, -40.916, 9.438.

I don’t understand why this is happening, maybe someone who knows how CFrames or radians work better than me can tell me what to do.

I have a question: Should the camera be sideways like this, or straight?

The rotation on the Y axis should be global, and the rotation on the X axis should be local.

camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(4,6.5,4.5)
camera.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-40), 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-14.5), 0, 0)

It might seem like the same thing, but it’s not. When you do camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(4,6.5,4.5), the camera has no rotation yet, so the next rotation you apply (the Y rotation) will be global. After that, any rotations will be local.
You can get the same result by using other transformations, but in this case, this is the simplest way.

you need to use CFrame:ToWorldSpace instead of these unclear shenanigans with ‘Y axis should be global’
