How would you make the camera of a player inside of their head instead of the HRP?

Hello!

In my game (where the camera is locked to first person), I made the player have the ability to crouch, but the camera isn’t staying in the character’s head when the animation plays. Is there any way to move the camera into the head instead of the humanoid root part somehow? I have tried changing the player’s camera subject to their head, but that ends up making the player unable to turn their character and makes all of their accessories block their camera.

Here’s my code if you need it:

local Camera = workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
Player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson
local Head = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")
Camera.CameraSubject = Head

Use Humanoid.CameraOffset

Here is a way to do it, it can be more efficient for sure and also could use a lerp to make it smooth.

local Camera = workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
Player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson


local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		local keyPressed = input.KeyCode
		if keyPressed == Enum.KeyCode.C then -- Crouch key
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.CameraOffset=Vector3.new(0,-2,0)
		end
	end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		local keyPressed = input.KeyCode
		if keyPressed == Enum.KeyCode.C then -- Crouch key
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.CameraOffset=Vector3.new(0,0,0)
		end
	end
end)
