If someone has time, can you answer me how can I do this?
But you can just give me idea how i can do this

Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Mouse.Hit.p.X / 2, 15, Mouse.Hit.p.Z / 2) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-75), 0, 0)

Maybe look into camera types? The answer is most likely there! Added on with a mouse.Clicked and Unclicked event, to control where the camera moves! Should just be some basic Vector math!

Ohh… too hard for me… “basic Vector math”. Ok, I’ll try. But, I’m sure i can’t.

Don’t worry! Should just be where your mouse started at, then each render step calculating where the mouse position is in correlation to it, and moving the camera on the X and Y plane based on that!

I tried that, but it was laggy and had some bugs (because of my mistakes). But, thanks for motivation. Maybe, I’ll try to make it perfectly.

Hi, I know this post is pretty old but I hope you’re still around!!

Did you end up figuring out the script? I’m searching for something exactly like this for my game.
