How to make your camera look towards a certain player/part?

Hey!

So I was wondering, I don’t know that much about camera manipulation. But how do you make the client’s camera look at an exact position? (Not as in Camera.CameraSubject)

#2

You can use CFrame.lookAt()

#3

I’ll try that, I’ll reply with the outcome.

An easy way to replicate this is by changing the CameraType to Enum.CameraType.Watch.

If you wish the player to be unable to right-click and drag their mouse (note this will remove the ability to click on certain parts (ClickDetectors), then you could just make a TextButton appear over the whole screen of the player.

I did this recently, put it in a LocalScript.

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
Part =
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CFrame = Part.CFrame

Alright, import a local script into the starter player scripts and put this in it,

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
cam.Focus = part.CFrame

It doesn’t work, am I missing something?

in local script:

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local ccf = cam.CFrame
local lookingAt = workspace.LookAtPart

cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
cam.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(ccf.p, lookingAt.Position)
