I am having trouble trying to attach the camera to the player’s head. What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix it?

module script:

-- CameraSwitchModule

local CameraSwitchModule = {}

-- Constants
local FIRST_PERSON = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
local THIRD_PERSON = Enum.CameraType.Custom

-- Variables
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local currentCameraType = FIRST_PERSON

-- Functions
local function updateFirstPersonCamera()
	-- Get the player's character and camera
	local character = player.Character
	local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

	-- Check if the character and camera exist
	if character and camera then
		-- Get the character's head
		local head = character:FindFirstChild("Head")

		-- Check if the head exists
		if head then
			-- Set the camera as a descendant of the head
			camera.CFrame = head.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -5) -- Adjust camera offset as needed
		end
	end
end

local function updateThirdPersonCamera()
	-- Get the player's character and camera
	local character = player.Character
	local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

	-- Check if the character and camera exist
	if character and camera then
		-- Set the camera as a descendant of the character's humanoid root part
		local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if humanoidRootPart then
			camera.CFrame = humanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 5, -10) -- Adjust camera offset as needed
		end
	end
end

function CameraSwitchModule.SetFirstPersonWithMouse()
	-- Set the camera to first person
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = FIRST_PERSON
	currentCameraType = FIRST_PERSON

	-- Set the camera as a descendant of the head
	updateFirstPersonCamera()
end

function CameraSwitchModule.SetThirdPerson()
	-- Set the camera to third person
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = THIRD_PERSON
	currentCameraType = THIRD_PERSON

	-- Set the camera as a descendant of the humanoid root part
	updateThirdPersonCamera()
end

function CameraSwitchModule.ToggleCamera()
	-- Toggle between first and third person
	if currentCameraType == FIRST_PERSON then
		CameraSwitchModule.SetThirdPerson()
	else
		CameraSwitchModule.SetFirstPersonWithMouse()
	end
end

return CameraSwitchModule

I’d recommend you to not set CameraType of the current camera if you want to change person view because it’s created for other purposes.

You can simply set the CFrame of the current camera to the Head’s CFrame (local script e.g.):

local Player = game.Player.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Head = Character.Head

workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = Head.CFrame
