Making Clash Of Clans' camera system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello everyone, it’s me. CalypsoGames. How will I be able to implement Clash Of Clans’ camera system? If you don’t know what Clash Of Clans’ is. It is a Casual Simulator game, the purpose of the game is to build your own village and attack other online players. Other example of what I’m talking about is SimCity’s Camera System.

I tried this:

game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.Orthographic = true

local initialCameraPosition = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)
local minZoom = 5 -- Minimum zoom level
local maxZoom = 15 -- Maximum zoom level
local currentZoom = 10 -- Initial zoom level
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local zoomSpeed = 0.5
local panSpeed = 5 -- Adjust panning speed

local villageCenter = game.Workspace.VillageCenter

function Start()
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(initialCameraPosition)
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = currentZoom
end

function Update()
	currentZoom = currentZoom - UserInputService.MouseWheel * zoomSpeed -- Adjust zoom speed
	currentZoom = math.clamp(currentZoom, minZoom, maxZoom)
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = currentZoom
end

function Updates()
	local horizontalInput = UserInputService.MouseDelta.x
	local verticalInput = UserInputService.MouseDelta.y
	local panDirection = Vector3.new(horizontalInput, 0, verticalInput)
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame * CFrame.new(panDirection * panSpeed * 0.1)
end

function Updated()
	local currentRotation = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
	local desiredRotation = Vector3.new(math.rad(45), math.rad(45), 0)
	local rotationDiff = desiredRotation - currentRotation
	local rotationSpeed = 2 -- Adjust the rotation speed

	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(rotationSpeed * rotationDiff.x, rotationSpeed * rotationDiff.y, rotationSpeed * rotationDiff.z)
end

function Updating()
	local desiredPosition = Vector3.new(villageCenter.Position.X, game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position.Y, villageCenter.Position.Z)
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(desiredPosition, villageCenter.Position)
end

This code is in a localscript inside a CameraPart I created.

Can you show us how the clash of clans camera system actually is? And how the script plays?

The script doesn’t work, and you can find how clash of clans camera works here
