Help With Shoulder Camera

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey there, I’m just looking for the best way to offset the camera by a few studs when my bound function is fired but you know… being able to move around with the camera after. Currently how I have my script -

This is my code, if you can provide resources or help me by explaining how I should do this I would be very appreciative.

local function handleAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	-- Aiming
	if actionName == Action_Aim and Status ~= "Reloading" and Equipped then
		-- Input Began
		if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
			Aim_Animation:Play()
			Status = "Aiming"
			
			local function CamOffset()
				while Cam.CameraType ~= Enum.CameraType.Scriptable do
					Cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
					wait()
				end
				
				Cam.CFrame = Cam.CFrame * (CFrame.new(2,0,0) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,0))
			end
			
			RunService:BindToRenderStep("TempBinding", 201, CamOffset)
			wait()
			RunService:UnbindFromRenderStep("TempBinding")
			
		-- Input Ended
		elseif inputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
			EndAnimations()

			Idle_Animation:Play()
			Status = "Idle"
			
			Cam.CFrame = Cam.CFrame * (CFrame.new(-2,0,0) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,0))
		end
    end
end

(Obviously isn’t my entire script, just the relevant piece)

You won’t be able to do this by changing the camera cframe like that since the camera script will just set it back. What you want to do is change Humanoid.CameraOffset.

I tried doing that but it didn’t seem to affect anything. Is there something I need to do first in order for it to work or? Edit: oh well clearly I’m just stupid… Thanks for the help…
