How should I go about making first-person-like controls while the camera is not actually first-person?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I am trying to make a game where you can see your character from a different angle but I want them to be able to turn by moving the mouse, as it does in first-person mode.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I cannot find a way to go about making this a feature.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have tried locking camera in first-person mode while making the body visible again but it does not accomplish what I want, as the mouse still moves around the screen rather than turning the character, I have also tried locking the mouse in the center and that hasn’t seemed to work. When I used a script to do so the mouse was never locked.

EDIT: accidentally posted before I wanted to, attached image showing my game.

when you locked the mouse you used MouseBehavior correct? if not, then maybe you should try to use it and place the camera in a set position and change the orientatation of the camera using runservice every frame

Yeah, I’m currently using MouseBehavior. Here’s the script I tried to use.
For some context, it’s bound to clicking a teleport which will teleport you into the main game.
