Changing camera CFrame for crouch system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, process)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl and not process then
		local x, y, z = cam.CFrame:ToOrientation()
		cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(head.Position - Vector3.new(0, 2, 0), Vector3.new(x, y, z))
	end
end)

I tried making a script which moves the player’s camera downwards by 2 studs when they hold control, what’s currently happening is the camera does not move downwards at all, and the camera seems to slowly point to the same spot every time I press control

I’m trying to base the camera’s position off the character’s head’s position, and the orientation off the camera’s current orientation

#2

You can’t set the camera’s CFrame if the mode isn’t scriptable, for this use CameraOffset in the character’s Humanoid

replace these lines with

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(0,-2,0)
#3

I totally forgot that you can just use the CameraOffset property from the Humanoid, that’s a little embarrassing

It works flawlessly, thank you for the help
