How Do I Make The Camera Follow The Player When An Animation Is Played?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Just like the title says, how does one make the camera follow the player when an animation is played? I have made a vault script and animation but whenever the player vaults the camera stays where the player has vaulted during the animation. Please help me!!!

Script:

local player = game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character
Character:WaitForChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)
local humanoid = Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
if script.DisableJump.Value then
humanoid.JumpPower = 0
end
–warn(“PASSED”) --DEBOUNCE! when true, it is available for move. when false, busy
local debounce = true

–GUIS
local vaultGui = script.Vault.BillboardGui
local vaultEnabled = false

–ANIMS
local vaultAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Vault.anim)

local RS = game:GetService(“RunService”)
local IS = game:GetService(“UserInputService”)
local TS = game:GetService(“TweenService”)

local part = nil

local vaultDetector = Instance.new(“Part”, game.Workspace)
vaultDetector.CanCollide = false
vaultDetector.Transparency = 1 – Change to 0 for debug, but otherwise keep 1
vaultDetector.Size = Vector3.new(2,1,4)
vaultDetector.CFrame = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
vaultDetector.Massless = true

local Weld = Instance.new(“Weld”, vaultDetector)
Weld.Part0 = Character.HumanoidRootPart
Weld.Part1 = vaultDetector
Weld.C1 = CFrame.new(0, -0.25, 2)
Weld.C0 = CFrame.new()

local function vaultGuiUpdate(part)
–print(“part”)
if vaultEnabled then
local cloneGui = vaultGui:Clone()
cloneGui.Parent = part
cloneGui.Enabled = true
else
if part:FindFirstChild(vaultGui.Name) then
part:FindFirstChild(vaultGui.Name):Destroy()
end
end
end

local function GetTouchingParts(part)
local connection = part.Touched:Connect(function() end)
local results = part:GetTouchingParts()
connection:Disconnect()
for index, value in ipairs(results) do
if value:FindFirstChild(“IDENTIFIER”) ~= nil and value.IDENTIFIER.Value == “ParkourPart” and value.Vaultable.Value then
return value
end
end

return nil
end

local function playerInput(key, processed)
if not processed and debounce then

	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		if vaultEnabled then
			debounce = false
			Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
			local xCalc = (prevPart.CFrame.Position.X-Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.X)*2
			local zCalc = (prevPart.CFrame.Position.Z-Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z)*2
			Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.X,Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Y,Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z),Vector3.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.X+xCalc, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Y, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z+zCalc))
			local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(vaultAnim.Length)
			local goal = {}
			goal.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.X+xCalc, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Y, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z+zCalc), Vector3.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.X+xCalc*2, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Y, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z+zCalc*2))
			--vaultAnim:Play()
			local tween = TS:Create(Character.HumanoidRootPart,tweenInfo,goal)
			
			vaultAnim:Play()
			--vaultAnim.Stopped:Wait()
			wait(vaultAnim.Length-0.5)
			--vaultAnim:Stop()
			--tween:Play()
			Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.X+xCalc, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Y, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z+zCalc), Vector3.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.X+xCalc*2, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Y, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z+zCalc*2))
			vaultAnim:Stop()
			Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
			debounce = true
		end
	end
	
end

end

local function heartbeat() --Runs once every server frame
part = GetTouchingParts(vaultDetector)

--print(part)
if part ~= nil then
	prevPart = part
	if vaultEnabled == false then
		vaultEnabled = true
		vaultGuiUpdate(part)
	end
else
	if vaultEnabled == true then
		vaultEnabled = false
		vaultGuiUpdate(prevPart)
	end
end

end

RS.Heartbeat:connect(heartbeat)
IS.InputBegan:connect(playerInput)

From looking at your post, I suggest you post your code and relevant information so people can help you!

Without much information I am left able to only do this; here are some resources relevant to this question:

The camera’s subject is your HumanoidRootPart. The HumanoidRootPart doesn’t change while your animation is playing so I suggest you change the camera’s subject to your player’s Head with a LocalScript. That way, the camera will move according to your head’s position the way you wanted.

When you do this and zoom into first person the character doesn’t turn at all.

The normal CameraSubject is set to the Humanoid of the player, I think you should set it to your player’s Head.
