How do i fix this script that makes the camera move to a part?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

when i use the script it just makes my camera look at the part, but i dont want it to do that. i want it to be looking from the part.
specifically looking straight down

local cam = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")

repeat cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable wait() until cam.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

local Focal = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Focal")

while task.wait() do

	local Cal1 = Focal.Position.X + .1
	local Cal2 = Focal.Position.z - .1

	Focal.Position = Vector3.new(Cal1, 135, Cal2)

	cam.CFrame = Focal.CFrame
end

just to clarify, the part moving DOES work, its just the part of the script that moves the camera to the moving part does not work

#4

still does the same thing
char limit

#5

Okay, I’ll write a script that puts the camera at Focal looking down (you must be making a top-down game)

local cam = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")

repeat cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable wait() until cam.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

local Focal = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Focal")

while task.wait() do
        cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(Focal.Position, Focal.Position - Vector3.yAxis)
end

Try this

not a topdown game lol… its for a loading screen background

its litrally just a bunch of randomly generated patterns

kinda works, but it locks my camera down amd doesnt move it to the part

#8

Yes, you wanted the camera to be looking down, right?

#9

yeah but its not following the part

#10

Set your camera type to scriptable.

#11

it is
char limitttttttttttttttttttttttt

#12

Try this code, tell me if it works :smile: (i just removed the line where you made camera custom)

#13

i already tried that, im sorry.

#14

Try it again, also is the focal point actually moving? Just a question.

#15

yes it is moving
char limitttt

#16

yeah this is just matching my cameras rotation to the part, not moving it to the part

#17 
local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

repeat cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable wait() until cam.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local Focal = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Focal")

while task.wait() do
	cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(Focal.Position, Focal.Position - Vector3.yAxis)
end

Try this.

#18

you already told me to try that and it didnt work

#19

Try everything together. Try this script out, I changed it to .CurrentCamera.

#20

its till just locking my camera to look down, still not moving it to the part

#21

When you play test it in studio, and check the camera properties, does it say scriptable?

Also, are you sure the part is just not moving?
