I am trying to create a script that puts the camera in front of the player’s head. I am trying to get the direction the player is facing by using their HumanoidRootPart’s LookVector, however the LookVector is being set to (0, 0, 1) and I don’t know why. Help appreciated, thank you.
local pos = players[1].Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Parent = workspace
part.Position = pos
part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
part.Anchored = true
local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(pos, players[1].Character.Head.Position)
Camera.CFrame = cameraCFrame
LookVector is a direction vector, and direction vectors are generally vectors of magnitude 1 and are centered at the world origin, hence why the LookVector has values such as (0, 0, 1).
To get what you’re looking for, you need both a position and a direction vector. You already have the LookVector as your direction vector, so you just need to supply the position.
local pos = players[1].Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position
local dir = players[1].Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector
--set part position
local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(pos, players[1].Character.Head.Position + dir)
--set cam position
local pos = players[1].Character.Head.CFrame.Position
local dir = players[1].Character.Head.CFrame.LookVector * 5
local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(pos + dir, pos)
Camera.CFrame = cameraCFrame
