I’m working on an obby and when the player respawns, I want their camera to face forward to the next stage. When the player respawns, their character faces the right way, but my issue is that their camera faces the other direction.
I’ve tried to fix this using a RemoteEvent that fires to the client to manipulate the camera, but the code below causes the camera to position downwards.
local SetCamera = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SetCamera")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
SetCamera.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position, player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector)
end)
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
Camera.CFrame = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
* CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-15),0,0)
You can use the Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded event on the client instead of using a remote as well.
Thanks, it worked. Do you mind giving a brief explanation of your solution? I’m very new to CFrames and Roblox Studio in general so any information helps.
Well, its a little weird because of how the camera core scripts seem to work. The rotation of the camera is changeable, while the distance from the character to the camera is maintained.
The CFrame we set uses the rotation portion of the humanoid root part (the core scripts discard the positional part), which sets the camera’s rotation to be that of the root part. Then, using CFrame.Angles(), we are decreasing the X axis of rotation by 15 degrees, which pitches the cameras rotation downward a little bit (to see over your character). Then, the core scripts kick in, and set the distance offset based on our current rotation, that offset being the current offset of your camera relative to the character.
Hi, I’m wondering where this might go? does it depend whether or not I have checkpoint saving setup already? Could I adapt the camera orientation into this?
