Hello, is there a way i can make it where the player cant turn there camera at all?

Probaly will need to script it.

I would suggest creating a Custom Camera instead of modifying the Camera to disable turning around.

I took advice from an old scripting helpers post here, made some modifications to match your use case:

--LocalScript inside StarterCharacterScripts
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local character = script.Parent 
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head", 5)

--converts degrees to rads, useful for CFrame.Angles
local r = math.rad 

--camera fixed rotation and offset
local rotation = CFrame.Angles(r(0), r(-60), r(0))
local offset = CFrame.new(12, 20, 0)

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local position = head.Position
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if character and position then
		position = head.Position
		-- Rotate CFrame by rotation value
		local startCFrame = CFrame.new(position)*rotation 
		--Offset CFrame by defined offset
		local cameraPos = startCFrame:ToWorldSpace(offset).Position
		--Set camera properties
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPos, position)
		camera.Focus = CFrame.new(position)
		camera.CameraSubject = head
	end
end)

Help Disabling camera movement
#5

im a little confused, where would i put this in my script?

current script


local Attachment = game.Workspace.ToolAttachments.Bed
local Humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local PlayerModule = require(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("PlayerModule"))
local Controls = PlayerModule:GetControls()

local CurrentCam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

game.ReplicatedStorage.PickUpTools.Tool1.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()	
	Humanoid:MoveTo(Attachment.WorldPosition)
	CurrentCam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	Controls:Disable()
	Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 7
	local connection
	connection = Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function()
		wait(2)
		Controls:Enable()
		Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	end)
end)

It’s an entire script by itself, simply create a LocalScript in PlayerScripts.StarterCharacterScripts and paste the code in(also temporary disable your own to test it).

Sorry for reviving an old post but I just want to say that you don’t need the rotation aspect because the camera automatically rotates when you set its subject. I really like your code and just slightly modified it here:

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local head = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")
local cameraOffset = Vector3.new(-10, 20, 0)

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local headPosition = head.Position
	local cameraPositionCFrame = CFrame.new(headPosition) + cameraOffset
	camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPositionCFrame.Position, headPosition)
	camera.Focus = CFrame.new(headPosition)
	camera.CameraSubject = head
end)

You can edit the offset however you like. There’s no need for a rotation as it will get overwritten anyways. To prove this to yourself you can run the same code but modify the camera.CFrame with a given rotation (example below)

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local head = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")
local cameraOffset = Vector3.new(-10, 20, 0)
local cameraRotation = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-60), 0)

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local headPosition = head.Position
	local cameraPositionCFrame = (CFrame.new(headPosition) + cameraOffset) * cameraRotation
	camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPositionCFrame.Position, headPosition)
	camera.Focus = CFrame.new(headPosition)
	camera.CameraSubject = head
end)

This code block gives you the exact same result as the first code block.
