Setting a locked on camera back to its original state

So I have a lock on camera script.


How can I get the camera back to following the player. I’ve tried setting the Target = nil
but that caused an issue where i couldn’t move the camera at all.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until Player.Character
local c = Player.Character

local mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")

local Target = nil
local CamBlock = Instance.new("Part", workspace.CurrentCamera)
CamBlock.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
CamBlock.Transparency = 1
CamBlock.CanCollide = false
local BP = Instance.new("BodyPosition", CamBlock)
BP.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
BP.D = 500

local BUI = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
BUI.Size = UDim2.new(6,0,6,0)
BUI.AlwaysOnTop = true
local IL = Instance.new("ImageLabel", BUI)
IL.Image = "rbxassetid://4569894478"
IL.BackgroundTransparency = 1
IL.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)






UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input,typing)
	if typing then return end
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if mouse.Target and mouse.Target.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and mouse.Target ~= Player.Name then
			Target = mouse.Target.Parent
			CamBlock.Position = CFrame.new(c.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Target.PrimaryPart.Position)*CFrame.new(0,4,9).p
			BP.Position = CFrame.new(c.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Target.PrimaryPart.Position)*CFrame.new(0,4,9).p
			BUI.Parent = Target.PrimaryPart
		else
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = "Fixed"
		end
	end
end)

RS.RenderStepped:connect(function()
	if Target and (c.HumanoidRootPart.Position-Target.PrimaryPart.Position).magnitude < 80 and Target.Humanoid ~= nil and Target.Humanoid.Health > 0 and c.Humanoid ~= nil and c.Humanoid.Health > 0 then 
		local CamPos = CFrame.new(c.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Target.PrimaryPart.Position)*CFrame.new(0,4,9).p
		BP.Position = CamPos
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(CamBlock.Position,Target.PrimaryPart.Position)
		local Dist = (c.HumanoidRootPart.Position-Target.PrimaryPart.Position).magnitude
		IL.ImageTransparency = 1-(Dist/80)
	else
		BUI.Parent = nil
		Target = nil
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(CamBlock.Position,Target.PrimaryPart.Position)

		workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
	end
end)

Mayby try putting camera back to default I am not a pro in camrea and cframe stuff so I might be wrong

#3

Yeah i’ve tried that. Did not work. Got the same issue as the NIL solution

#4

Not sure what your using as your camera variable but something like this can work,

local currentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera

currentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

Thank you. It was because i was setting it to fixed.
