How do I take the player's camera to a part's position?

I want to have the player’s camera move to a part’s position for 5 seconds, then set the camera back to the player.
Here’s what I have so far:

local part = script.Parent
local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
local show = game.Workspace.Show
part.Touched:Connect(function()
	camera.postiton = show.Position
end)

You can change the camera’s CFrame after you set the CameraType to Scriptable.

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

Camera.CFrame = show.CFrame

I’m not quite sure how to reference the change of the camera. Here’s what I did.

part.Touched:Connect(function()
	Camera.CameraType("Scriptable")
	repeat Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable wait() until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

	Camera.CFrame = show.CFrame
end)

Remove line 2, as it does not work.

#5

Nothing happens when the part is touched.

#6

Can you screenshot the Output? (View > Output)

#7

There’s nothing in the output.

#8

Oh, is your Script a normal script, or is it a LocalScript?

#9

Normal script, After you told me to remove line 2 there has been no errors.

#10

Alright.

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
	repeat Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable wait() until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

	Camera.CFrame = show.CFrame
end
end)

Sorry if this is confusing or anything, it just sees if the thing that hit it was actually a Player.

The camera isn’t replicated, you should be using a LocalScript. The best place for it would be StarterPlayerScripts. I may be misreading or misunderstanding, but that’s a major issue if I’m understanding correctly.

Still no results with the output or the game.

#13

I’ll try to see if that will work.

#14

You are correct! It was in the wrong spot.

#15

How do I return the camera back to the player?

#16

Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom should do it, if not, there are other places on the forum in which that question has been answered.

If for some reason this does not work, try:

local Camera = game.Workspace.Camera
 local original_CF = Camera.Cframe
--Code. Once done:
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
Camera.Cframe = original_CF

local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part")

userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, processed)
	if processed then
		return
	end
	
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
		camera.CameraSubject = part
	end
end)

userInput.InputEnded:Connect(function(key, processed)
	if processed then
		return
	end
	
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
		camera.CameraSubject = humanoid
	end
end)

Here’s a simple script which focuses the client’s camera on a BasePart instance in the workspace named “Part” whenever the “F” key is pressed (and held), once the key is released the camera’s focus returns to the player’s character.
