Make the default Camera Controller use a camera not indicated by workspace.CurrentCamera

What do I want to achieve?
I want to force the default camera controller into using a camera not defined by workspace.CurrentCamera, this is to further modify the behaviour of the camera without forking the default controller. I will only fork as a last resort.

What issue am I facing?
The default camera controller always uses the workspace.CurrentCamera property for the camera being controlled. I want to bypass this behaviour by having one camera be used for scripting / rendering (using the workspace.CurrentCamera property), and another camera for the default camera controller to use (not through the workspace.CurrentCamera property).

What have I tried so far?
I have tried to change the workspace.CurrentCamera property, force re-parent different cameras, etc… I am not willing to create my own controller / fork the default controller unless necessary.

Am I sure this is what I want?
This is absolutely what I want. It’s necessary for the effects I want to work. There must be one camera used by the default camera controller and another camera used by the rendering engine.

I feel like this is a really bad case of the XY problem. Why do you want to make the default controller use a different camera from workspace.CurrentCamera instead of setting CameraType?

#4

Because changing the CameraType does not solve my problem.

This isn’t a case of the XY problem at all. I am not trying to overcomplicate things and you do not understand my problem as of right now.

Please, post answers relevant to what I have posted.

In that case, @Scallium is correct, you can’t and you’ll have to fork the controller.

Okay, thank you. I was only hoping to do this as a last resort.

Sorry if I seemed a bit rude, it’s just a bit of a frustrating problem and I have done well to think about how and why I need to do this.
