when camera scrolls in first person, the character appear transparent.
i did tried using camerasubject for it, but it wont apply with the player’s character rotation when in first person.
i did tried use runservice and loop through the character parts and set their transparency to 0 but still same issue.
local Run = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Events = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local MaincamPart = workspace:WaitForChild("Map"):WaitForChild("camPart")
local playercharacter = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Scale = 4500
local mainCam
local function PlayCam(cameraPart)
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
--cam.CameraSubject = playercharacter.Head
mainCam = Run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local center = Vector2.new(cam.ViewportSize.X/2, cam.ViewportSize.Y/2)
local x = mouse.X - center.X / 2
local y = mouse.Y - center.Y / 2
local xOffset = x/Scale
local yOffset = y/Scale
local lookAtPoint = cameraPart.Position+cameraPart.CFrame.LookVector*5
local vector = Vector3.new(lookAtPoint.X - xOffset, lookAtPoint.Y - yOffset, lookAtPoint.Z - xOffset)
local result = CFrame.lookAt(cameraPart.CFrame.Position,vector)
cam.CFrame = result
end)
end
PlayCam(MaincamPart)
local function setPlayerCam()
mainCam:Disconnect()
--cam.CameraSubject = playercharacter.Humanoid
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
cam.CFrame = playercharacter.Head.CFrame
end
Events.LoadMapUi.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(argument, map)
if argument == "loading" then return end
if map and map:FindFirstChild("camPart") then
PlayCam(map.camPart)
else
setPlayerCam()
end
end)
when i tried to use camerasubject or use run to loop through character limbs and set their transparency to zero:
is there any solution on this?
“sorry if i sucked at elaborating.”
It’s happening because when a player is in first-person, their BasePart’s LocalTransparencyModifier is set to 1. To fix this issue, you’ll need to check if the player is in first-person, and set the LocalTransparencyModifier to 0 if so, then set it back to 1 when the cutscene is finished:
local Run = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Events = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local MaincamPart = workspace:WaitForChild("Map"):WaitForChild("camPart")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playercharacter = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local head = playercharacter:WaitForChild("Head")
local Scale = 4500
local mainCam
local isInFirstPerson
local function setLocalTransparency(value)
for _, instance in playercharacter:GetDescendants() do
if instance:IsA("BasePart") and instance ~= playercharacter.PrimaryPart then
instance.LocalTransparencyModifier = value
end
end
end
local function PlayCam(cameraPart)
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
if head.LocalTransparencyModifier == 1 then
isInFirstPerson = true
setLocalTransparency(0)
end
mainCam = Run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local center = Vector2.new(cam.ViewportSize.X/2, cam.ViewportSize.Y/2)
local x = mouse.X - center.X / 2
local y = mouse.Y - center.Y / 2
local xOffset = x/Scale
local yOffset = y/Scale
local lookAtPoint = cameraPart.Position+cameraPart.CFrame.LookVector*5
local vector = Vector3.new(lookAtPoint.X - xOffset, lookAtPoint.Y - yOffset, lookAtPoint.Z - xOffset)
local result = CFrame.lookAt(cameraPart.CFrame.Position,vector)
cam.CFrame = result
end)
end
PlayCam(MaincamPart)
local function setPlayerCam()
mainCam:Disconnect()
if isInFirstPerson then
isInFirstPerson = nil
setLocalTransparency(1)
end
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
cam.CFrame = head.CFrame
end
Events.LoadMapUi.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(a, b)
if a == "loading" then return end
if b and b:FindFirstChild("camPart") then
PlayCam(b.camPart)
else
setPlayerCam()
end
end)
the character is facing in 1 direction, like if you tried to move right or left, or back. it still faces in 1 direction, not rotating at all because he is still in first person.
do i need to script my own custom camera for this?
You can rotate the player’s character while the cutscene is playing by using the :PivotTo method and CFrame.lookAlong, like so:
playercharacter:PivotTo(CFrame.lookAlong(playercharacter:GetPivot().Position, -Vector.zAxis)) -- Replace -Vector.zAxis with your desired direction
Cutscenes do require temporarily taking control of the player’s camera, so technically yes, but your script is already doing so
@anos111 BTW I went ahead and rewrote the script, it should work identical to the current one but in a more efficient and safe way (as in, less likely to error since I made sure to use WaitForChild whenever appropriate), plus the script will now work even if the player dies or resets:
(The new script is quite long so I minimized it so my comment doesn't take up too much space)

Would calling CameraUtils.restoreRotationType() from the PlayerModule be a good idea to solve the rotation issue instead of CFraming? I tested it out and it seems to solve the rotation issue for me when the camera’s CFrame is changed while in first-person.
local CameraUtils = require(player.PlayerScripts.PlayerModule.CameraModule.CameraUtils)
local function restoreRotation()
CameraUtils.restoreRotationType()
end
