Help with Camera manipulation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I Have decided to try some camera manipulation.
I Wanted to try out making an A/D Script of when the character presses a button it will rotate the camera to a specific side.
Heres what I made so far:

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local input = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local h = script.Parent.Humanoid
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
wait(0.1)
CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0),math.rad(0),math.rad(3))
input.InputBegan:Connect(function (key)
	local k = key.KeyCode
	if k == Enum.KeyCode.A then
		camera.CameraSubject = h
		print("A")
		camera.CFrame = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0),math.rad(0),math.rad(10))
	end
end)

input.InputEnded:Connect(function (key)
	local k = key.KeyCode
	if k == Enum.KeyCode.A then
		print("A Stopped")
		camera.CFrame = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0),math.rad(0),math.rad(-10))
	end
end)

but I am having an issue with:

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

If I Switch up the camera type from “Custom” to “Scriptable”, This happens:

When you set CameraType to Scriptable, the camera stops following your character. If you were to set CameraType to scripted, then you would have to make the camera follow the character manually. Instead of setting the CameraType, just let the default roblox camera follow the character and update the rotation.

My solution:

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local input = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local h = script.Parent.Humanoid

local angle = 0
input.InputBegan:Connect(function (key)
	local k = key.KeyCode
	if k == Enum.KeyCode.A then
		print("A")
		angle = 10--set the new angle
	end
end)

input.InputEnded:Connect(function (key)
	local k = key.KeyCode
	if k == Enum.KeyCode.A then
		print("A Stopped")
		angle = 0--set angle back to 0
	end
end)

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	--update camera cframe
	camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(angle))
end)--run on every frame because the camera will constantly update to new character position

Basically what I’ve done is set the angle to 10 when “A” is pressed and have the cframe be updated every frame.
I hope this helped!
