First Person Y-Restricted Camera Issues

[SamFieryCreeper (Dripmeister)]

sorry if the title is awful, this is one of my first posts on the DevForum

Greetings,

I am a trying to script a first person camera that can not move along the y-axis. I set the CameraMaxZoomDistance in StarterPlayer to 0.5 (the minimum value). Then, using a LocalScript, I set the camera type to orbital. These changes put the camera in first person and successfully stopped the camera from moving up and and down. But, there were two issues that I couldn’t seem to fix:

1. You could NOT move the camera from side to side unless you were holding right click. I think this might have to do with orbital camera.

2. The Camera was pointed down at a weird angle. Illustrated in the below image:

The script I wrote is below:

local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local Camera = Workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character

Camera.CameraSubject = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Orbital

Anyone know how to fix this?

I found this post:

How can I make the camera rotate in a fixed axis (First Person Mode)?

Well, as the title said, I want to make the player camera only rotate on the X-axis while Y-axis is locked. This type of camera was used in some games like Doom (old retroversion) and other games using ray casting. Sure I could try to use key binds but I want to make the camera moves using the mouse, how can I do this?

and I couldn’t make sense of it. But I think that they were trying to achieve the same thing as me.
