Need help with isometric camera rotating on the x axis

#1

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on this isometric camera system, but it locks the camera in place i cannot rotate it on the X axis only.

here is my code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local cd = 64 
local hos = 2
camera.FieldOfView = 20
local function updcam()
	local chr = player.Character
	if chr then
		local humr = chr:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if humr then
			local humrpos = humr.Position + Vector3.new(0, hos, 0)
			local campos = humrpos + Vector3.new(cd, cd, cd)
			camera.CFrame += CFrame.new(campos, humrpos) 
		end
	end
end

RunService:BindToRenderStep("isocam", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, updcam)

if anyone has any solution or method on how to do this please let me know. I have been stuck on this for hours in the double digits but just cant seem to figure it out.

Do you mean that the X-axis rotation is relative to the camera itself? If so, here is the code:

 local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local cd = 64
local hos = 2
local vertical = 0 


camera.FieldOfView = 20

local function updcam()
	local chr = player.Character
	if chr then
		local humr = chr:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if humr then
			local humrpos = humr.Position + Vector3.new(0, hos, 0)
			local campos = humrpos + Vector3.new(cd, cd, cd)
			camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(campos, humrpos)
			camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame *CFrame.Angles(vertical/10 ,0,0)
		end
	end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		vertical -=1
	elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		vertical +=1
	end
end)

RunService:BindToRenderStep("isocam", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, updcam)

press Q and E

I made another If you wanna make it relative to humanoid

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local cd = 64
local hos = 2
local vertical = 0 
local highest = nil
local lowest = nil
camera.FieldOfView = 20

local function updcam()
	local chr = player.Character
	if chr then
		local humr = chr:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if humr then
			local humrpos = humr.Position + Vector3.new(0, hos, 0)
			local x,y,z = cd,cd,cd
			local humrpos_to_camera =Vector3.new(x,y,z) -- vector3.new(cd,cd,cd) Make the Code easy to fix if you want make x,z different
			local angleY = (math.atan2(z, x)-math.rad(90))
			local angleX = (vertical/10)
			if math.deg(angleX) < -40 then -- make sure camera dont go over the head
				if highest == nil then
					highest = vertical
				end
				vertical = highest
				angleX = math.rad(-40)
			end
			if math.deg(angleX) > 30 then --  keep camera a distance from ground
				if lowest == nil then
					lowest = vertical
				end
				vertical = lowest
				angleX = math.rad(30)
			end
			local first_rotation = CFrame.Angles(0,angleY,0):PointToWorldSpace(humrpos_to_camera) -- here look at z direction
			local second_rontation = CFrame.Angles(angleX,0,0):PointToWorldSpace(first_rotation)
			local third_rotation = CFrame.Angles(0,-angleY,0):PointToWorldSpace(second_rontation) -- turn it back
			local campos = humrpos+third_rotation
			 
			camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(campos,humrpos)		
			
		end
	end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		vertical = vertical+1
	elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		vertical =vertical-1
	end
end)

I probably should’ve been a bit more specific, sorry about that.
Here’s my current camera
https://gyazo.com/98eca3172410adea0638ddc9df013f02
but i wanna be able to rotate it with my mouse like this
https://gyazo.com/3d4b98da64659efd7c3ba2695e5ee9ef
for some reason it’s not allowing me to rotate my camera only along the x axis, like i wanna 360 around the player but from the same angle if you know what i mean

Okay, so update I got it to semi work
I wanna be able to rotate like this all the way around


but it ends up doing this

Here’s the code

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local cd = 64 
local cdx = 64
local hos = 2
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
camera.FieldOfView = 20
local function updcam()
	local chr = player.Character
	if chr then
		local humr = chr:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if humr then
			local delta = uis:GetMouseDelta()
			cdx = cdx + delta.X
			local humrpos = humr.Position + Vector3.new(0, hos, 0)
			local campos = humrpos + Vector3.new(cdx, cd, cd + delta.X)
			camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(campos, humrpos)
		end
	end
end

RunService:BindToRenderStep("isocam", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, updcam)

It seems you wanna rotate y-axis so here the code

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local cd = 64 
local cdx = 64
local hos = 2
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local total_x = 0
camera.FieldOfView = 20
local rotate = 0 


local function updcam()
	local chr = player.Character
	if chr then
		local humr = chr:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if humr then
			local delta = uis:GetMouseDelta()
			rotate = rotate - delta.X
			local rotate_angle = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotate), 0)
			local first_rotation = rotate_angle:VectorToWorldSpace(Vector3.new(cd,cd,cd))
            --cdx = cdx+delta.X
			local humrpos = humr.Position + Vector3.new(0, hos, 0)
			local campos = humrpos + first_rotation
			camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(campos, humrpos)
		end
	end
end
RunService:BindToRenderStep("isocam", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, updcam)
