#1

i’m having trouble locating the local player’s camera object. i want to play an animation on it because i’ve animated camera angles with a plug in but i don’t know how to play it on the player’s camera…

also Do i just add an Animation Controller to the camera?

#2

you have to use a local script. You can get the players camera by firing this code in a local script

local playerCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera

Thank you, would i have to apply an animationcontroller to animate the camera?

#4

no you would use tween services and do what is called “Camera Manipulation”. This is a good video on it

thank you, i have found a script that matches my issue but when editing it, it works but the camera just starts to appear everywhere randomly

-- Something to note is that wait() minimum waiting time is 0.0333 meaning if you recorded the camera originally in 60 frames per second and try to wait for 1 out of 60 frames per second(0.016) it will automatically go to 0.03

	-- Basically the highest rate you can go is 30 frames per second unless you use something like RunService.Heartbeat:Wait() that waits based on the current system's framerate but I wouldn't recommend it if you have animations you want sync to the camera movement

	--The speed of each camera frame moves
	-- Its set to 60 frames per second
	local fps = 1/60
	-- This grabs the camera folder that contain the frames and get all children
	local fold = workspace:WaitForChild("MoonAnimatorExport"):WaitForChild("intro_Camera"):WaitForChild("Frames"):GetChildren()
	-- This is how many frames are in this camera movement
	local frames = #fold
	--Replace this with the camera you want to move

	-- This will run for each frame
	for i=1,frames do
		--This grabs the CFrame value from the folder base on what frame we're on
		local cf = fold[i]
		-- Check if the object exists
		if cf then
			--Set the CFrame to the current frame CFrame
			cam.CFrame = cf.Value
			--Wait the fraction of the frames per second(this is the seconds you wait for one 1 out of 60 which is 0.016)
			wait(fps)
		end
	end

do you have any idea of why this could be happening?

note: the camera is set to “Custom” Mode.

i found the script here; How would I use camera animations from moon editor in game? - #2 by dornuthedude

(better depiction, i switched the camera CFrame to a part’s CFrame https://gyazo.com/d043cb390544e76b0a91595f6b08403d)
