Help for Camera Manipulation for different rooms

Hey there!

I was wondering how to make a Camera change when you walk in a room like the game NullWork: https://www.roblox.com/games/4486383608/Nullwork

I’m also wondering how to tween the transitions between the Cameras.

If you can help that would be Wonderful! :grinning:

Ask me for any Questions!

Roblox has a cameraType like this already so you could you use it

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Watch
#3

How can I use that Camera type? could you link something?

#4

I corrected it but anyways here is it Camera | Roblox Creator Documentation
also i’m not completely sure if this would work in this case but you could try or else I could look with a solution using CFrame

#5

He’s probably be better off creating different BasePart instances which represent cameras and then setting the “CameraSubject” property of the “Camera” instance to those proxy cameras.

#6

so cameraSubject rotates the camera to the subject without needing the use of cframe?

#7

No, it just focuses the camera on a different part as opposed to the camera focusing on the player’s character’s humanoid.

#8

Do you have a camera script or are you using default camera?

I do

Script 1:

local char = script.Parent
local root = char:WaitForChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Cam2 = workspace.Cam2

local customCameraEnabled = false;

local function enableCustomCamera()
char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(-180),0)
customCameraEnabled = true
game:GetService(“RunService”):BindToRenderStep(“SideCamera”, 201, function()
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(root.Position + Vector3.new(-10,3,0), root.Position)
end)
end

local function disableCustomCamera()
customCameraEnabled = false
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
game:GetService(“RunService”):UnbindFromRenderStep(“SideCamera”)
end

–[[

  • Checks if the player is in a custom room (standing on the custom part)

  • @returns {Part|nil}
    ]]
    local function isPlayerInCustomRoom()
    local params = RaycastParams.new()
    params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist
    params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Cam2}
    local result = workspace:Raycast(root.Position, Vector3.new(0,-10,0), params)
    if (result) then
    return true
    end

    return false
    end

while wait() do
if (isPlayerInCustomRoom()) then
if (not customCameraEnabled) then
enableCustomCamera()
end
else
if (customCameraEnabled) then
disableCustomCamera()
end
end
end

Script 2:
local char = script.Parent
local root = char:WaitForChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local partThatChangesStuff = workspace.cameraChangerPart

local customCameraEnabled = false;

local function enableCustomCamera()
customCameraEnabled = true
game:GetService(“RunService”):BindToRenderStep(“topDownCamera”, 201, function()
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(root.Position + Vector3.new(5,0,0), root.Position)
end)
end

local function disableCustomCamera()
customCameraEnabled = false
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
game:GetService(“RunService”):UnbindFromRenderStep(“topDownCamera”)
end

end
else
if (customCameraEnabled) then

end
end
end

Its a Local script in StarterCharaterScripts

#11

do this cause its kinda confusing

 ```lua
--script
 ``` -without the space
#12

Sorry Here

Script 1:

local char = script.Parent
local root = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local partThatChangesStuff = workspace.cameraChangerPart

local customCameraEnabled = false;

local function enableCustomCamera()
	customCameraEnabled = true
	game:GetService("RunService"):BindToRenderStep("topDownCamera", 201, function()
		cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
		cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(root.Position + Vector3.new(5,0,0), root.Position)
	end)
end

local function disableCustomCamera()
	customCameraEnabled = false
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	game:GetService("RunService"):UnbindFromRenderStep("topDownCamera")
end

I mostly got the Script from here
