Have first person camera follow player's head, similar to pressure

[allene50]

I am basically trying to get a First Person Camera to follow the head position. Looking up will cause the player’s character to look up physically, same for looking down.

I got it working to the point where I have the character looking up and down physically. (Another issue is the new rotation not updating server side/other players…)

Basically where the head is facing and positioned, i want the camera to be facing and looking there. The issue i have is when I set the camera’s CFrame to the head’s position, the character spins uncontrollably.

Currently each render stepped, I am getting the UpperTorso and it’s Waist (Motor6D) child and setting the rotation of C1 property based on the rotation of the camera. Something like this here:

motor6d.C1 = CFrame.new(motor6d.C1.Position) * CFrame.Angles(-Camera.CFrame.LookVector.Y, 0, 0)

I have tried using things like this to get it working but it causes the player to spin:

Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(head.CFrame.Position) * Camera.CFrame.Rotation

One thing to know is: yes I am using first person camera mode. (set within starter player, under camera section.)

This problem stumpped me for a bit now, and idk what to try next…

[EDIT]: I also forgot to mention but I do want something that can possibly work with platforms such as mobile or even console.

This script may help. I created it(ChatGPT did) when I was trying to recreate the camera effect of Hellmet. It can be switched into first person.

Begin()

Hope this helps.

It will help, but i do wonder…
does it support mobile and/or other platforms such as console?

I don’t know if it works for other platforms.

The camera offset in the script is different for different screen sizes but if the camera offset is set to (0,0,0). it should be fine for different sized monitors.
