How to enable and disable Camera movement for a player

Resources Community Tutorials

This tutorial is going to be pretty simple, I searched forever for a post discussing this because I couldn’t figure it out so I’m sure this will come in handy at some point.

There’s a function under the CameraInput module which allows us to enable or disable camera input. The function in question is “setInputEnabled”.

To disable camera input enabled via a boolean, it’s relatively simple.

local cameraInput = require(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerModule.CameraModule.CameraInput)
local enabled = false

cameraInput.setInputEnabled(enabled)

Enabling it would also be pretty much the same.

cameraInput.setInputEnabled(true)

Remember, this will only work on a LocalScript.

What is wrong with setting the camera’s CameraType to Fixed or Scriptable?

workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Fixed

Setting it to Fixed just locks the zoom level of the camera.

Setting it to Scriptable freezes the camera in its current position, which we don’t want. The point is to disable camera movement while keeping it locked to the character.
