Help with the a custom 360 camera script (Look up and down freely)

#21

I renamed to “Camera” but it didn’t work sadly. But what I’m saying is it’s working but I just don’t know how to make it focuses as a first person perspective view. Maybe for third person too if u can.

#22

Any solutions for making it focus a head for my camera script?

#23

A custom 360 camera script will require extensive CFrame knowledge only achievable through experimentation, the developer reference API and articles. Here is an example custom camera script I modified which does a 360 camera located at the players head through the following CFrame operations:

  1. Create a new CFrame positioned at the head
local headCf = plr.Character.Head.CFrame
local headCFPosOnly = CFrame.new(headCf.Position)
cam.CFrame = headCFPosOnly
  1. Add a CFrame rotation of the previous camera rotation CFrame without the position.
local currentCamRotationOnly = cam.CFrame-cam.CFrame.Position
cam.CFrame = headCFPosOnly*currentCamRotationOnly
  1. Then rotate the current camera along it’s relative axis via the mouse delta
local addRotation = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-y),math.rad(-x),math.rad(0))
cam.CFrame = headCFPosOnly*currentCamRotationOnly*addRotation

By doing these steps you will get a really wonky 360 Camera where you can still see accessories but it works. For the third person, you will probably need very different CFrame operations but I hope this should serve as an example of the CFrame manipulation required for a custom camera script.

Make first person player camera 360*
#24

It’s fine, I can make my character’s CameraMode into LockFirstPerson.

I don’t necessary need for third person camera since but that’s also fine. Thanks anyway.

#25

What changes would be needed for a third person camera? I have this issue and I cant lock the mouse.

Why does my camera won’t rotate? I found something on YT a scripts. It was compatible with mobile except for the Rotation which i cannot rotate Left, Right, Backward, Frontward, Upward, Downward…

Can anybody here help me?
