How to make camera style similar to Loomian Legacy

I want to make a camera similar to Loomian Legacy where you cannot move the camera but the camera will follow the player as they move, can anyone help me with this?

#2

Just fix your camera to scriptable and fix it like for example 20 studs above the player. Or attach a part 20 studs above the player and make the camera that part

#3

How would I figure out the CFrame? Do you have a formula I could use?

#5

No offense but I don’t think he will be able to use this.

To do a scriptable fixed camera as they are describing you need to use RenderStepped
You should do the following inside the RenderStepped event:

workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = Player.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,20,0)

You also need to set the Camera’s CameraType to Scriptable at the beginning of the LocalScript.

Oh wow, oops! Use what khep said, I was not thinking when I wrote that.

Honestly I don’t know what you’re actually referring to in Loomian Legacy because I just played it and while I walk around it’s the default camera stuff. But when you encounter a Loomian it does a cutscene style camera manipulation.

#8

Just put a part at where you want your camera to be and print out the cframe

#9

I believe they’re talking about when you enter a building. Might be wrong though

#10

I was talking about when you are inside a building or a theater, you are unable to move your camera then.

It’s basically similar to what they do in a live show when they create a house scene. They give it no roof but background walls so you can see inside but in the game you create a part that represents the position and rotation of the Camera. Then do Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable; Camera.CFrame = Model.CameraPart.CFrame

EDIT:
You could create a house scene without a roof and without front walls.
Create a part, name it CameraPart, anchor it, and place it where you want the camera. Then put it all in a Model. Run this code to test the camera:

local model = workspace.Model
local c = workspace.CurrentCamera
local f = Enum.CameraType.Fixed
local s = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
if c.CameraType==s then
  c.CameraType = _G.XCT or f
else
  _G.XCT = c.CameraType
  c.CameraType = s
  c.CFrame = model.CameraPart.CFrame
end
