MMORPG Top-Down View

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello everyone

I’m currently working on a big project (MMORPG) and I need some help with some sort of
top-down view. I’m not experienced in coding at all but I’m definitely hiring in the future.
I have worked out most of the issues with UI etc. Basically, to put it short I need help for a top-down camera (I have tried youtube and you can still move the camera around but then it snaps back into to top-down and I also can zoom in so I’m asking here because the ones on YT don’t work) If I could get any info on this I would be overjoyed.

Thanks, Regards

Note this is a rough code as I’m not at my computer at the moment:

LocalScript in StarterBackpack or StarterGui.

Local Camera = workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")

Local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

Local YOffSet = 10

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

if Camera then
Camera.CameraType = "Scriptable" 
Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.p + Vector3.new(0, YOffSet, Z), Player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.p)
end

end)

I not working I put it in StarterBackpack, StarterGUI, Starterplayerscript, ETC.
Are you sure you put the right piece of code?

Fixed your code up a bit, it should work now.

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local YOffSet = 10

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if Camera then
		Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
		Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.p + Vector3.new(0, YOffSet, 0), Player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.p)
	end
end)

You probably shouldn’t keep setting the camera to scriptable every frame. You should only do it once at the start of the script.

Thanks Its perfect But is there a slim chance you could make the code so it will stay on its angle but you could spin the camera? If so it would be much appreciated!
