Lock camera at a 2.5D angle

[Jippie2008 (KILLA_Host)]

Hey! My goal is to lock the camera at a 2.5D-ish perspective, kinda like these images.

I’ve tried locking the camera and making it LookAt() something in front of the player, but I wasn’t able to get the tilt to work, nor did the Camera actually lock.

I think you want to make this little script:

-- Services
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

-- Variables
local Player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer

local CurrentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local Angle = -32

-- Initialize CameraType
CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

-- Connections
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if Player.Character then
		local humRootPart = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if humRootPart then
			CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(humRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 11, 20)) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(Angle), 0, 0)
		end
	end
end)

Put the code on a LocalScript.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me!

local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

-- Variables
local Player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer

local CurrentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local Angle = -32

-- Initialize CameraType
CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

-- Connections
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if Player.Character then
		local humRootPart = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if humRootPart then
			CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(humRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 11, 20)) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(Angle), 0, 0)
		end
	end
end)

Yes!!! Thank you!!! I altered it a little bit, I don’t know how to send videos, but this is amazing.

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

-- Variables
local Player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer
local CurrentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Angle = -50

-- Cause Camera Lag :3
local lagFactor = 0.04 -- change to adjust lag!!!! (1=No Lag, 0 = Broken, 0.01 = Lot of lag)

local lastPosition = Vector3.new()
local lastRotation = CFrame.new()

CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(deltaTime)
	if Player.Character then
		local humRootPart = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if humRootPart then
			local targetPosition = humRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 20, 15)
			local targetRotation = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(Angle), 0, 0)


			lastPosition = lastPosition:Lerp(targetPosition, lagFactor)
			lastRotation = lastRotation:Lerp(targetRotation, lagFactor)


			CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(lastPosition) * lastRotation
		end
	end
end)```
