Fixing a Security Camera Script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I am currently writing a script using a combination of different videos/tutorials to have the players POV go to a security camera when they press E. Currently, I have it working so that when they press E, their POV goes to the security camera. My question is how would I go about making it so when they press E again, their view returns to normal? My code for what I have working is below and I’ve tried to solve my issue using what I currently know but have been unable to. Thanks!

local HumanoidRootPart = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local button = game.Workspace.button


--Camera Script when E is pressed with 7 studs of button
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(keyCode)
	if keyCode.keyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then 
		if(button.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude < 7 then
			local myCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera
			myCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
			
			local cameraPart = workspace.CameraPart
			
			
			local xTilt = 0
			local xMaxTilt = 2 
			local tiltSpeed = 0.05
			
			while wait() do
				
				myCamera.CFrame = cameraPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(xTilt),0)
				
				xTilt = xTilt + tiltSpeed
				if (math.abs(xTilt) > math.abs(xMaxTilt)) then
					tiltSpeed = tiltSpeed * -1
					xMaxTilt = xMaxTilt * -1
					
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Use an if statement.

local switch = false
if switch then
    switch = false
    — your code of putting view back to normal.
else
    switch = true
    — your code of putting view to cams.
end

Hope it works!

Thanks! I’ll try that out and see what results it gives me. I am having a little trouble figuring out how to return the camera to normal in general though :sweat_smile:

Oh and try to use a remote event, since this is happening locally. But try my previous code first before trying to use remote event.

you can use an if statement

also to make it go back to normal you can use : Enum.CameraType.Custom (I think you already know this)
