This doesn’t work, put it into StarterGUI but then nothing happened.

u need put this in StarterPlayerScripts and name this “CameraScript”
I just saw the start code and I was thinking you should change it after reading:
repeat wait() until Player.Character
repeat wait() until Player.Character.Humanoid
repeat wait() until Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
Yeah, I tried it but now the camera is still and doesn’t move with the character.
You can still “disable” the default Roblox camera module by going in studio and testing the game. While testing the game in studio, you can go in StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts and find “PlayerModule.” You can copy that and then stop testing. Right after you stop testing, you’ll want to paste the PlayerModule in StarterPlayerScripts. You’ll want to go in the PlayerModule and delete this line below
self.controls = require(script:WaitForChild("CameraModule"))
You’ll also want to delete this line
function PlayerModule:GetCameras() return self.cameras end
After you did all that, you can insert OP’s Orbital script and test it for yourself!

What can I do, if i dont want to move the character around with the camera
Hello.
Below is old.
I get this error here:
CameraScript is not a valid member of PlayerScripts
As there is no CameraScript inside PlayerScripts.
Is the script outdated or what seems to be the problem?
Looking forward to your answer. Thank you, sincerely.
Above is the old error, just ignore it.
I did what @ByDiego7w7 did,
And it didnt error, and something happened with the cam, but. The player doesnt move with the camera and etc.
@PineappleDoge1 solution didn’t help, since there is no playerModule in the player when you have the CameraScript inside.
StarterPlayerScripts without CameraScript:
And with:
Oh no, never mind. I maybe it is supposed to be like it is now. Since it is orbital, it is not supposed to be like shiftlock right?
But is there any way to do that? So the character moves with camera?
Hey, I tried that. But I think the playerModule gets deleted when using this other script, as I did not find it.
If you go through the code and try to find:
local CamScript = Player.PlayerScripts.CameraScript
CamScript.Disabled = true
I found that if you delete it, the script works perfectly fine.

I have updated the code for anyone that wants to use it, and I also made it as a module so you can Start() and Stop() the camera script, however, there is a bug where the camera no longer moves after un-focusing the window.

im getting a bug where the camera detaches from the player and it just sits there as you can move around the player
I am not sure what’s wrong with it, it would be nice if you could send me reproduction file or steps so I can look into it.
The camera is stuck in one spot you can move the player but not look around allowing the player to run off the screen

OMG Thanks for this!
its soooo helpful for me i was trying to make a camera exactly like this and had MANY problems now everything is easy as pie … i mean cake
i found a bug
--here is my script
local cam = require(script.Parent:WaitForChild("ModuleScript"))
cam:Start()
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):GetPropertyChangedSignal("Sit"):Connect(function()
if char.Humanoid.Sit == true then
cam:Stop()
else
cam:Start()
end
end)
so when the player sits then he stand the mouse dont lock anymore
also found a bug in popper cam where the camera check for collisions in character and does a weird behaviour

I got it working but it breaks when you leave the tab and go back in
i also got another bug when the player dies it just breaks it infinitely repeats Head is not a valid member of Model “lootlamabud” and it just repeats that for ever
How can I use this script to make it only start when a tool is equipped? Thank you.
Doesnt seem to be working:( I fixed the error which was CameraScript is not a valid member of Player.Playerscripts.CameraScript. After that, it kind of worked but it didnt rotate with the player and you couldnt rotate the camera at all.
