Making camera move with mouse

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

So i want from that perspective when i move my mouse the camera also moves slightly with me what do i need to do for it to get it working?

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

local char = script.Parent
local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")


local cas = game:GetService("ContextActionService")


--
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	
	cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(hrp.Position + Vector3.new(0, 20, 15), hrp.Position), 0.1)
end)

Hmm I think you could try using lerp to get like .25 or .5 between the character and the mouse. ill see if I can get something working!

Thank you already mate for trying to help me :smiley:

Maybe you can rotate the Camera’s CFrame with CFrame * CFrame.Angles() by the mouse.X and mouse.Y

Im very new to scripting haha can you explain it for me better or make an example?

Lets go! it looks really good lemmie know if you dont understand something I did.

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = plr:GetMouse()

plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

--local cas = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()

	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	
	-----Positions
	
	local hrp = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	if not hrp then
		return
	end
	
	local mousepos = Mouse.Hit.Position
	local CharacterPosition = hrp.Position
	--------------------------------------
	
	-- You can replace this manually if ya like
	local MaxLength = 2
	
	-- there are a couple thins I should explain here:
	-- .Unit takes a Vector3 and turns it to the length of 1 ( Normalized vector ), .Magnitude is the length of the vector
	-- I wanted to cap the vector so i got the Normalized vector and multiplied it by a Clamped length ( limited )
	-- I then used this vector to lerp the direction from the character to the mouse ( ur camera Lookat position )
	
	local ChartoMouse = (mousepos - CharacterPosition).unit * math.clamp( (mousepos - CharacterPosition).Magnitude , 0, MaxLength)
	
	local Lookat = CharacterPosition:Lerp(CharacterPosition+ChartoMouse,0.75)

	cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(hrp.Position + Vector3.new(0, 20, 15),Lookat),0.1)
	
	-- It looks pretty good :D

So the thing is ive added it but it didn’t work for me. Do i need to add it with the old script or delete the old script and implement the one you send

Well keep your old one just in case I put this new one in Starter player scripts.

Ah yes i see now but the thing is now it rotates a bit but i want to only to move on the X and Y axis you know? let me search for an example

Oh so the camera wont go closer to the camera or further? I think I can make that possible id probably just fix the mouse position vector to keep the players z axis

-- I Changed a few things ( i added this next line underneath local CharacterPosition )
mousepos = Vector3.new(mousepos.X,CharacterPosition.Y,CharacterPosition.Z)

-- I made max length 15
-- Lookat lerp % is 0.2
-- Lerp % is 0.2 for the camera

Wait sorry that was a bad example. Maybe this one is a better example i just want it to move a little bit you know camera dont have to stay on the same posistion but no rotation

Couple changes I don’t remember what I changed though so here’s the entire script:

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = plr:GetMouse()

plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

--local cas = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()

	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

	-----Positions

	local hrp = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

	if not hrp then
		return
	end

	local mousepos = Mouse.Hit.Position
	local CharacterPosition = hrp.Position

	mousepos = Vector3.new(mousepos.X,CharacterPosition.Y,CharacterPosition.Z)
	--------------------------------------
	local Unit = (mousepos-CharacterPosition).Unit
	local distance = math.clamp((mousepos-CharacterPosition).Magnitude,0,10) -- 10 is max side to side
	
	local ChartoMouse = CharacterPosition:Lerp(CharacterPosition+Unit*distance,0.25)

	cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(ChartoMouse + Vector3.new(0, 20, 15),ChartoMouse),0.2)

	-- It looks pretty good :D

Ah sickk!! How can i add the Y axis? that is the only thing that is missing haha

mousepos = Vector3.new(mousepos.X,CharacterPosition.Y,CharacterPosition.Z)
^^^
This line is whats locking the y and z axis
you can change Character Position for mouspos and it will unlock the axis

Yep that worked only i can move it a little bit do i need to add another line that will create the side to side with magnitude etc?
