Yeah Is basically hard, you want your camera move just like in avatar editor? where you can inspect your items?

#24

He want his camera to be draggable, why are you mentioning viewport?

Making camera draggable is different thing than a viewport frame.

#25

Have you ever played Township or one of those tycoon games on the App Store? The camera movement system like that is what I’m looking for but @dexanddeb says he understands what I’m talking about so I should be ok.

#26

Ohh, understandable.
I can try making it, I am not so familiar with this kind of stuff, but I’ll try.

#27

Do you need to hold left mouse button to move your camera?

#28

Left or right and having it work on mobile would be great too.

Make a part in Workspace named “CamPlace” and then set orientation to “-90, 0, 0”
Uploading: image.png…

then insert a local script in starterplayer scripts doesn’t matter what you name it
image
and insert this into the local script:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") 
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") 

local plr= game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)

local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera 
Camera.CameraType = "Scriptable" 
Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,0,0) 
Camera.CFrame = game.Workspace.CamPlace.CFrame

local W,A,S,D,NotMoving = false,false,false,false,true

local function KeepMoving()
	repeat 
		if 	W then 
			Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame + (Camera.CFrame.UpVector * 0.4)
		end
		if 	S then 
			Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame + (Camera.CFrame.UpVector * -0.4)
		end
		if 	A then 
			Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame + (Camera.CFrame.RightVector * -0.4)
		end
		if 	D then 
			Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame + (Camera.CFrame.RightVector * 0.4)
		end

		RunService.RenderStepped:Wait()
	until NotMoving
end


local function MoveBegan(actionName,inputState,input)

	if  input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then

		if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) then
			W = true
			NotMoving= false
		end
		if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) then
			A = true
			NotMoving= false
		end
		if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.S) then
			S = true
			NotMoving= false
		end
		if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) then
			D = true
			NotMoving= false
		end
	end

	if W and not A and not S and not D then
		KeepMoving()
	elseif not W and not A and not S and  D then
		KeepMoving()
	elseif not W and not A and not S and  D then 
		KeepMoving()
	elseif not W and not A and not S and  D then 
		KeepMoving()
	end

end 




local  function MoveEnded(input, gpe)

	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
		W = false
	elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
		S = false
	elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
		D = false
	elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
		A = false
	end
end

if not W and not S and not D and not A then	
	NotMoving = true
else
	NotMoving = false
end



game:GetService("ContextActionService"):BindAction("MoveCam" , MoveBegan, false,Enum.KeyCode.W, Enum.KeyCode.A, Enum.KeyCode.S, Enum.KeyCode.D)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(MoveEnded)

wait(10)
	print("Script Is Functional")

You can edit this to move using the mouse

#30

oh, if that’s the case, lock the camera, and you can use game.Workspace.currentcamera, something like this, lock the Y to a Y coord, then, you can use user input mouse to detect when mouse is held down, then do math behind the initial press, and the let go, to then move the X and Y coords.

#31

:joy: I actually currently have a WASD camera move script and I’m trying to switch from that to using the mouse for a faster/smoother experience and compatibility. I did try to change it but it didn’t even get close to working thus why I created this topic.

#32

Dont worry im still working on one that doesnt require a part and supports dragging with mouse

Then why didn’t you specifiy that?

#35

Hey so while looking around, I found this dev post which seems to have the solution you are looking for.

I have a video which shows how it should look:

#36

I didn’t realise you were looking for a WASD script. Because at the time it wasn’t relevant.

#37

Dang beat me too it, good work!

#38

The post looks like what I want but in your video you just hold the mouse down and the camera moves by itself.
