Pseudo-Invisicam methods?

[rxnwei (Wei)]

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I want a camera that makes them see-through (e.g. transparent) when they’re between the character and the camera. Although, I’m not sure where to start…

2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

I’m not able to use the usual invisicam method.

3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Creator Hub?

I’ve tried to use Invisicam by enabling it in starterplayer, which did not work. I suspect that it’s because I’m using a custom camera script:

--// Services
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

--// Variables
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local root = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local cameraPart = Instance.new("Part")

--// Settings
local zoomDistance = 30
local zoomMin = 15
local zoomMax = 60
local zoomStep = 5

--// Setup
cameraPart.Anchored = true
cameraPart.CanTouch = false
cameraPart.CanCollide = false
cameraPart.Transparency = 1
cameraPart.Parent = workspace

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local baseOffset = Vector3.new(30, 22, 30)
local baseCFrame = CFrame.lookAt(root.Position + baseOffset, root.Position)
local baseDirection = (baseCFrame.Position - root.Position).Unit
local baseRotation = baseCFrame - baseCFrame.Position

--// Zoom
UserInputService.InputChanged:Connect(function(input, gp)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseWheel then
		zoomDistance = math.clamp(zoomDistance - input.Position.Z * zoomStep, zoomMin, zoomMax)
	end
end)

--// Camera Lerp
RunService.PostSimulation:Connect(function(dt)
	local targetPos = root.Position + baseDirection * zoomDistance
	cameraPart.Position = cameraPart.Position:Lerp(targetPos, dt * 4)
	cameraPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPart.Position) * baseRotation
	camera.CFrame = cameraPart.CFrame
end)

just use raycast to check parts between the camera and the character

Ah, right… I’ve just come back to roblox studio and completely forgot about raycasts! Thank you.
