Standard Camera is broken

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I was working peacefully in my code when suddenly i tried running the game and the standard camera for the player is completely broken. I can move my character around but the camera stays in place, I can’t rotate or zoom in. I have no clue what could cause this since I haven’t even touched the camera with my code. I also get no warnings or errors indicating that something’s wrong.

Check what the CameraType is. If its Scriptable then you have to change it to Fixed

#3

Can you send us the coode? We can’t help you without your code.

#4

Weird. Have you tried stopping and replaying the game? Are you absolutely sure you haven’t changed any of the camera settings like CameraMode and Camera.CFrame? If yes, I think it’s a bug, so you can post a new topic in the appropriate channel.

#5

The code is 682 rows long but I’ll include some old code that handles the scriptable part of the camera. I have not touched this particular piece of code for 3 weeks.

function UISTable.InputBegan(input)
if nVec[input.KeyCode] then
	Vec[input.KeyCode] = nVec[input.KeyCode]
elseif input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
	UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCurrentPosition
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
	speed = 0.1
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
	rotateItem()
end
end

function UISTable.InputChanged(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
	x = (x - math.rad(input.Delta.X))%(2*math.pi)
	y = math.clamp(y - math.rad(input.Delta.Y), math.rad(-89), math.rad(89))
	TweenService:Create(
		angle,
		TweenInfo.new(
			0.1,
			Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,
			Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
			0,
			false,
			0
		),
		{Value = CFrame.Angles(0, x, 0) * CFrame.Angles(y, 0, 0)}
	):Play()
end
end

function UISTable.InputEnded(input)
if nVec[input.KeyCode] then
	Vec[input.KeyCode] = nil
elseif input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
	UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
	speed = 1.5
end
end

for k, fn in pairs(UISTable) do
UserInputService[k]:Connect(fn)
end

function DefaultCam(dt)
local move = Vector3.new()
for _, v in pairs(Vec) do
	move = move + v
end
camera.CFrame = angle.Value + position
position = position + angle.Value * (move * speed)
end

No, I haven’t touched anything regarding the camera. I was working on some stuff with the mouse.

#7

It’s in Fixed.
(30 char 30 char)

#8

Could it be that roblox dropped an update that broke it? I’m registered to the Beta program.
I just noticed that the camera works perfectly fine when joining the place through my profile but in studio it’s broken.

#9

I’m not sure about this. A new Beta programme was released 3 days ago. That might be the issue? I suggest you to recheck everything once before posting a bug report.

#10

It has to be a bug though because it’s only in studio that the problem occurs.

#11

It was a require() that broke the code. I moved it after line where i got the camera and that fixed it. Weird though that it didn’t break outside of studio.
