Changing Camera Rotation without Changing Position

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to remake the roblox studio camera for a game that I’m making, I have the movement working and the camera sorta working, when I use the camera it’s not right I cant really explain it but it looks very realistic and not like roblox studio’s camera. I can get the camera working normally but then the movement gets messed up because it changes the CFrame’s position and not just the rotation.

Try using the code and put the camera type to scriptable to see what I’m talking about.

If you can help with this issue that would be amazing,

#2

Try using

CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ

Method, not really intelligible on this matter, but try and give CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ a shot.

#3

I still run into the same problem, Have you tried re making the script in studio to see that problem?

#4

Send the full code if you can.

Put this in starter player scripts

#6

Can you give the module script for CameraSettings?

#7

I’m just useing a local script not a module script

#8

It says require, so that means there is a module script.

#9

oh that would be the camera settings but sure

#10

This actually a problem I tackled while making my Studio camera, since CFrame.Angles is local, your camera gets rotated with the current rotation. You need to count out the current rotation from the equation.

Something like this:

local rx, ry, rz = Cam.CFrame:ToEulerAnglesYXZ()
		
local Angles: CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesYXZ(rx + LookAt.X,ry + LookAt.Y, rz)

Cam.CFrame *= Angles

EDIT: Realized this might not have been what you where looking for.

I fixed everything.

local CameraSettings = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.CameraSettings)



local CAMERASPEED = CameraSettings.CameraMoveSpeed



Cam.CameraType = CameraSettings.CameraType
Cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,0,0)
Cam.CFrame = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame



local W,A,S,D,NotMoving = false,false,false,false,true

local function KeepMoving()

	repeat
		if W then
			Cam.CFrame = Cam.CFrame + (Cam.CFrame.ZVector * -CAMERASPEED)

		end
		if 	S then 
			Cam.CFrame = Cam.CFrame + (Cam.CFrame.ZVector * CAMERASPEED)

		end
		if 	A then 
			Cam.CFrame = Cam.CFrame + (Cam.CFrame.RightVector * -CAMERASPEED) 

		end
		if 	D then 


			Cam.CFrame = Cam.CFrame + (Cam.CFrame.RightVector * CAMERASPEED) 
		end



		Char.CFrame = Cam.CFrame

		Run.RenderStepped:Wait()
	until NotMoving

end

	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then

#13

well, I did not work, I fixed it because there is no humanoid or humanoidrootpart so I just change that to the character cframe, but there was nothing really wrong with all of that. It is just the camera

#14

Do you see a lot of errors in the script? Try to fix those errors.

#15

I could not tell if it was fixed because when I moved the camera it was way to fast to see anything, and I tried diving the look at by more then 300 but that did not change anything

#16

I’ll send a video of it on my screen.

#17

There is not errors, it’s fixed its just the camera is not like roblox studio’s camera

#18

Is this how you intended it to work?

#19

thats not how I wanted it to work. you can see how when you move the camera it gets tilted I just want it to stay flat if you know what I mean.

#20

I know what you mean, but right now, I have no knowledge on how to fix this.
