Problem regarding local player CFrame

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello developers!

I have been creating an eerie game and have run into a problem. A pretty major one. My local player’s camera isn’t showing the player’s body when it’s set to a camera! In simpler words, I have a camera that simply just watches the hallway that the player is in. The hallway has toxins that make the player unconcious and then it cuts to a view of that camera in the hallway, and I want the player to be shown in it.

The problem? My game is first person, and in first person the body is not shown. I have experimented with various body transparency altering techniques but it interferes with my viewmodel arms script, for the first person view.

My solution and the help needed: I am trying to zoom out the player’s camera manually and it just doesn’t work. I used this topic Any way to make the camera zoom out and zoom in with script?

How would I fix this?

Any help is appreciated,

What you can do to zoom out the camera, is first make sure LockedInFirstPerson is set to false in the StarterPlayer in Studio.

When a player join set their max distance to 0 so that they have to be zoomed in.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 0
    player.CameraMinZoomDistance = 0
end)

Then on the client or whatever when you need to zoom out the camera, just play around with the distance.

local function ZoomOutCamera()
   player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 6
   player.CameraMinZoomDistance = 6
end

Maybe you’d have to override zooming out in the first place, so you can just use GetPropertyChanged on the client and set it back to zero.

Here’s a video of the problem:

I have this section in my script; do you think this will work?

game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 30
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMinZoomDistance = 30

Just checked- Did not work. It still shows only my arms as shown in the video.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

wait(5)

if character then

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

for _, part in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
if part:IsA(“BasePart”) then
part.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0 – this makes player visible on any view
end
end
end

This works for the body parts; but what about the accessories?

I also changed the code up a bit, to account for the head and what i THOUGHT would be accessories:

for _, part in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:GetChildren()) do
		
		if part:IsA("MeshPart") or part:IsA("SpecialMesh") or part:IsA("BasePart") or part.Name == "Head" or part:IsA("Accessory") then
			
			print(part.Name)
			
			part.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
			
		end
			
	end

it worked; it found the accessory and tried to change it’s transparency modifier but, it errored and say there isn’t one. What is the thing to change for the accessories then?
