so you mean you want to force a player to shiftlock?

#3

No, I want to angle the Camera where every I want, Like shiftlock dose. Meaning the players’ camera will move more right.

#4

maybe this will help? (How can I force shift lock?)

#5

No, What I’m meaning is not to force shiftlock, I’m trying to change the position of the Camera.

#6

then use Camera.CFrame you can know more about CFrame at the Developer Hub

I tried but the camera glitches:

local ERROR_MESSAGE = "There was an error trying to use "..script:GetFullName()
repeat wait() 
	
until workspace.CurrentCamera

workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(1, 1, 1, -5)

This is how you can make a player look at a part:

-- ClientScript

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera -- Cam

local localplayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer -- Player

local char = localplayer.Character

local PartToLookAt = game.Workspace.Part -- Link to the part you want the player to look at!

pcall(function()

    camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position, PartToLookAt.Position)

end)

if you want them to keep looking:
– ClientScript

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera -- Cam

local localplayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer -- Player

local char = localplayer.Character

local PartToLookAt = game.Workspace.Part -- Link to the part you want the player to look at!

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()

    pcall(function()

        camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position, PartToLookAt.Position)

    end)

end)

Hope this helped :smiley:

Ya but what if I want to make it look somewhere else ?

#10

Do you want to make that Shoulder style that Shiftlock gives you? If so, just use the CameraOffset property of the Character’s humanoid

#11

Ok, it works :smiley: but what about the mouse?

#12

You want it to lock in the center?

#13

Yes, lock in the center or anywhere else

#14

I think you can just use UserInputService’s MouseBehavior property and set it to LockCenter, try adding this line

game:GetService("UserInputService").MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter

Somewhere in your localscript

It seems to not be working…

game:GetService('UserInputService').MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter

The mouse dosent lock…

#16

Try setting it every frame

local userinputservice = game:GetService("UserInputService")

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
    userinputservice.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter 
end)

Found this from this solution

Like on a position, not a part?

#18

Yup! Yeah, in a position not partt

#19

How about this:

-- ClientScript

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera -- Cam
local localplayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer -- Player
local char = localplayer.Character

local Position = Vector3.new(10,10,10) -- Link to the part you want the player to look at!



game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	pcall(function()
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position, Position)
	end)
end)
