How to make a boxing game camera?

I’m currently working on a boxing game camera, similar to EA’s UFC Boxing, and I want the camera to rotate with the player and enemy.

I’ve gotten close, with the camera following the point between both players, but the camera ends up rotating on its axis rather than rotating based on the midpoint of both players.

I’ve tried a few possible solutions, but I’m pretty new to camera manipulation and CFrames and couldn’t get it working well enough.

Here’s my camera code so far:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local cameraOffset = Vector3.new(0, 1.5, 15)
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local folder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FightingEvents")

local AddGyro = folder:WaitForChild("AddGyro")
local RotatePlayer = folder:WaitForChild("RotatePlayer")

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)

	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	humanoid.AutoRotate = false
	AddGyro:FireServer()
	
	local enemy = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Enemy")
	local enemyRootPart = enemy:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	camera.FieldOfView = 55

	RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		if camera.CameraType ~= Enum.CameraType.Scriptable then
			camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
		end
		RotatePlayer:FireServer(enemy)
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new((rootPart.Position + enemyRootPart.Position)/2+ cameraOffset) * CFrame.Angles(0, (math.rad(character.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation.Y)+1.5), 0)
	end)
end)

local function focusControl(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	-- Lock and hide mouse icon on input began
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
		UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = false
		ContextActionService:UnbindAction("FocusControl", focusControl, false, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1, Enum.UserInputType.Touch, Enum.UserInputType.Focus)
	end
end
ContextActionService:BindAction("FocusControl", focusControl, false, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1, Enum.UserInputType.Touch, Enum.UserInputType.Focus)

Any help would be appreciated!

Bump, still looking for some help here.

Hey!
I did find something which is different to your script… I couldnt use yours as I had no idea where AddGyro event was used

local Character = script.Parent
local Root = Character.HumanoidRootPart
local Dummy = workspace.Enemy
local DummyRoot = Dummy.HumanoidRootPart
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local midpoint = (Root.Position + DummyRoot.Position) / 2
	local direction = (DummyRoot.Position - Root.Position).unit
	local distance = (DummyRoot.Position - Root.Position).magnitude


	local cameraOffset = Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)
	local cameraPosition = midpoint + cameraOffset - direction * (distance / 2)

	camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPosition, midpoint)
end)

(Use ShiftLock while using this code)
