Custom Camera turn acting weird

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey there, I am trying to make a custom character and I have made the script but whenever I play the game the camera on the client is REALLY weird and starts freaking out. I was trying to make a gun game and add real animations by the way but the player just wouldn’t turn. Here is the script:

wait(2)

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

script.TurnPlayer.Mouse.Value = Mouse

local MouseX = 0
local MouseY = 0

local CamPart = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function()
	
	game.Workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	game.Workspace.Camera.CFrame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head.CFrame or game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Head").CFrame
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Body.Transparency = 1
	
	game.Workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

	MouseX = Mouse.X * script.Index.Value
	MouseY = Mouse.Y * script.Index.Value
	
	script.MouseX.Value = MouseX
	script.MouseY.Value = MouseY

    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,MouseX,0)
	
end)

also here is the simplified version if you want. Here is the Player turning Code:

that turns the player. Without it, the player can’t turn using the mouse.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Root = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Head = Character:WaitForChild("Head")
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local camHeight = 4

script.TurnPlayer.Mouse.Value = Mouse

local MouseX = 0
local MouseY = 0

game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function()
	
	Camera.CFrame = (Root.CFrame + Root.CFrame.UpVector) * camHeight

	MouseX = Mouse.X * script.Index.Value
	MouseY = Mouse.Y * script.Index.Value
	
	script.MouseX.Value = MouseX
	script.MouseY.Value = MouseY
        
        Root.CFrame = Root.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(MouseY, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, MouseX, 0)
	
end)

there is a few other issues to worry about. (like not waiting for your assets properly and indexing too much)

another thing is that you dont want to place your camera relative to your head position. (the head moves with certain animations and it can be terrible.) HOWEVER, the HumanoidRootPart doesn’t move at all with animations, so use that instead and then add a offset on the Y axis (camera height) to target the heads location.

but here is what you want

local camHeight = 4

Camera.CFrame = (Root.CFrame + Root.CFrame.UpVector) * camHeight

Root.CFrame = Root.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(MouseY), 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(MouseX), 0)

CFrame is better to use for this sort of thing. (And you can use math.rad() to target proper radians, and get a full circle rather than unpredicted angles)

I also used .Angles twice to prevent tilting

You may also want to learn how math.clamp(n, min, max) works so you can set min/max angles for your turns. (if needed)

yes I know but I want the camera to move with the head, a sort of “realistic head” moving first-person
