Hi! I wrote this camera script, and nothiing happened, the camera was normal, whats wrong with it? I put it in ServerScriptService btw. I’d really appreciate if you explain it, rather than just dumping code onto here. Thanks :slight_smile:

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
Camera:GetRenderCFrame()
local pos = Vector3.new(1,10,1)
local lookAt = Vector3.new(1,1,2)
local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(pos, lookAt)
Camera.CFrame = cameraCFrame
Camera.HeadLocked = true

A camera should only be manipulated from a local script. Because each player has his own camera object, that’s different from another player’s camera. It might seem like all workspaves have a single Camera object, but no each local workspace for each local player has a seperate table.

ServerScriptService is a place for server scripts, only server scripts are supposed to run their.

I assume you used a server script, so change it to a local script and put it inside of StarterGui, you might actually be using a local script, but it’s in serverscriptservice, where it wouldn’t run, so switch to StarteeGui (another possibility might be StarterPlayerScripts)

It didn’t work, camera is still the same. I’ll try StarterPlayerScripts. Nah, neither worked.

Did you switch to a local script?
Also you seem to be requiring Camera:GetRenderCFrame() without setting it to a variable, which is uselss. You’re also not using it. Do

local cf = Camera:GetRenderCFrame()

Camera Manipulation
As the camera is part of the client and isn’t replicated, it must be manipulated in a LocalScript in a client area (i.e StarterPlayerScripts or PlayerScripts).

Take a look at this:
