How would I make a camera change from 3d to 2d?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m new to Roblox development so sorry if this is really obvious.

I’m trying to make it so when the player touches a part it would change the camera from 3d to 2d and back, similar to the system Super Mario Odyssey has.

So far I’ve just tried making a touch function and putting a 2d camera script into it, but that hasn’t worked. I also haven’t seen anything related to this on the DevForum.

Any help is appreciated!

Can you show your current script?

local CameraChanger = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local function PlayerTouched(Part)

	player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

	camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Attach
	camera.FieldOfView = 40

	game:GetService('RunService').Stepped:Connect(function()
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position) * CFrame.new(0,0,30)
	end)
end

CameraChanger.Touched:connect(PlayerTouched)

This probably doesn’t work at all.

Set the camera to only face one direction so the player can’t turn the screen when they are 2d.

Probably? Did you test it? Did it error, or was it something else?

Yeah I tested it and by probably I mean even with readjustments it wouldn’t work.

I think the problem is that Local Scripts don’t run under the workspace (with the exception of characters and tools in the player’s backpack).

So how would I put a local script in a part that’s in workspace?

You don’t. You put the local script in StarterPlayerScripts, and modify the script accordingly. If you want multiple camera changing parts, use CollectionService.

Okay I’ll try making that work. Thank you!
