I need help on this Character LookVector

[varjoy (variable)]

Hello, I am trying to change Character LookVectors withing Mouse Position to make something like this: Screenshot by Lightshot or something a little bit different but kinda similar to Roblox Shift Lock. How do I make it? I would use RunService.RenderStepped for camera and well, I can’t find any article to change Character LookVectors and Mouse Position, may I get some help Screenshot by Lightshot how it should look

In a RenderStepped call do this:

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
--RenderStepped
local offset = CFrame.new(0, 5, -10) --how far away from the character?
local origin = (HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * offset).Position
local target = Mouse.Hit.Position
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(origin, target)

i am not entirely sure what you mean by changing the characters’ look vector, as it can not be changed directly, but rather by manipulating the characters’ CFrame and or orientation. It seems like what you are trying to do, is to make a 3rd person camera (for shooter games), so there are a few things on the Devfourm you can look into, this or even This one

Well, How would I make like, a Shift lock, like, how can I force a player to shift lock just that?

How can I force shift lock?

For a while now I’ve been meaning to force shift lock for my 3rd person game.Though I did find some ways to do this, they weren’t very efficient because I can’t find any methods to force it and stop forcing it if I(or the player) ever wanted to interact with the menu UI by pressing M.I know it’s possible to force shift lock in your game because I’ve seen it done in a few games before (Dragon Ball Final Stand by @SnakeWorl for example) , I just don’t know how exactly to go about it or where to s…

Forcing Shift-Lock help

Hi everyone! I’m struggling to bypass a system that is essentially implemented for next to no reason. There is currently no way to actually force a shift lock when it was disabled. However, there are games that do show it’s possible to toggle it on and off. And now I’m attempting to figure that out on my own. I wasn’t able to figure it out, but I was close. Here are my findings(to anyone who knows the camera well these may be fairly basic, but they were what I was able to understand with about…

Use a localscript to access the humanoid in the player character, then in “CameraOffset” set the value of X to 1 or 2, that will have it on the shoulder instead of centered, sorry I was on a trip for a day and couldn’t answer back.So How would I change cameraoffset? I dont know srry

[Jaycbee05 (Jaycbee)]

i’m not exactly sure what you mean. To change the offset, you would change the associated vector position(you would add or subtract the camera position, if that makes sense), with most of the resources i linked above there should be a way to do that.

Well, I guess i’m not good with this, I’m just going to make something, add a part and change camera subject ;p

it also might be a good idea to check out those posts i linked in my first post, if you haven’t already (in this topic), nonetheless good luck on your project/game!
