Is it possible to keep the cameras position/orientation after :LoadCharacter()?

#1

i am attempting to create a character changer script that seems smooth to the point where it doesnt seem like you “respawned”. ive gotten the teleporting the player back to original position down but i cant seem to keep the camera position

CODE:

	local ogposition = plr.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
	local newskin = skin:Clone()
	newskin.Name = ("StarterCharacter")
	newskin.Parent = game.StarterPlayer
	newskin.PrimaryPart = newskin.HumanoidRootPart
	local newanimate = script:WaitForChild("SkinAnimate"):Clone()
	newanimate.Name = ("Animate")
	newanimate.Parent = plr.Character
	plr:LoadCharacter(newskin)
	
	task.defer(workspace.PivotTo, plr.Character, ogposition)


heres a video example of what i dont want the camera to do, i want it to stay in the same position it was before reloading my character

Is this code on the server or on the client?

#3

Just save the camera cframe just like the player position.
For example:

local OldCF = workspace.CurrentCamera.Cframe
...
workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = OldCF
#4

it is on the server thats the problem

#5

Which means it’s possible to get the player camera directly from the workspace.

#6

i meant to put server that was an accident

#7

Oh, so, in that case, use a remote function/event to get the player’s camera cframe.

I had this problem, and I tried many different solutions, such as connecting to the camera subject changing, and checking the orientation of the camera.

However, I eventually created a custom camera module because there were too many edge cases, but I guess you could try forking the Roblox camera control scripts, since those are the only things that control the camera ingame.

i found a solution by setting the cameratype to scriptable, reloading the character, then changing the cameratype back to custom
