How do I adjust the camera so that it is higher above the character?

[Derfbngg (Derf)]

I’m currently working on a third-person shooter and i want to place the camera above the player and looking slightly down so that the crosshair is over their head.

I’m trying to use the RunService and CurrentCamera to make this work, but I keep getting errors and i really have no idea how this works since there’s not many resources online for this topic.

I could really use some tips here!

Use Humanoid.CameraOffset, it takes in a vector 3 which acts as the offset. Below is a link to the documentation:

heres a script that sets the position of the camera using CFrame.lookAt:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local DEPTH = 10
local HEIGHT = 3


local function updateCamera()
	local character = player.Character
	if character then
		local hrpPosition = character:WaitForChild("Head").Position
		local cameraPosition = Vector3.new(hrpPosition.X, hrpPosition.Y + HEIGHT,hrpPosition.Z + DEPTH)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(cameraPosition, hrpPosition)
	end
end

game:GetService("RunService"):BindToRenderStep("function",201,updateCamera)

you’re probably gonna need to change DEPTH and HEIGHT to get what you want
