(solved) Above view camera movement help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I need a way for the camera to follow the player but with an above-view perspective
the camera has above-view perspective, but it won’t move
here is the script I’m using: (sorry it’s pretty bad)

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")


wait(5) -- haven't replaced with waitforcharacter


while true do
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
local pos = Vector3.new(0, 50, 0)
local lookAt = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(pos, lookAt)
workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = cameraCFrame


UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,GPE)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
			pos = pos + Vector3.new(100,0,0)
			lookAt = pos
		end
	end
end)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,GPE)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
			pos = pos - Vector3.new(100,0,0)
			lookAt = pos
		end
	end
end)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,GPE)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
			pos = pos - Vector3.new(0,0,100)
			lookAt = pos
		end
	end
end)


UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,GPE)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
			pos = pos + Vector3.new(0,0,100)
			lookAt = pos
		end
	end
end)
end
#2 
local Game = game
local Workspace = workspace
local RunService = Game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Camera = Workspace.CurrentCamera

local function OnRenderStep()
	local Pivot = Character:GetPivot().Position
	Camera.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Pivot + Vector3.new(0, 30, 1), Pivot)
end

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(OnRenderStep)

Increase/decrease ‘30’ depending on the camera’s desired height (above the local player’s character).

Thank you! but there is one problem, when you die the camera doesn’t follow you anymore

Did you place the script inside the ‘StarterCharacterScripts’ container?
