Basically I created a simple top down camera system to be used for RPG games or any game that could use it. It’s very simple and user friendly.
The config is located in:
game → StarterPlayer → StarterCharacterScripts → LocalScript
Controls:
Scroll wheel UP - Zoom in (Not enabled by default look at config)
Scroll wheel DOWN - Zoom out (Not enabled by default look at config)
E - Switch between the 2 cameras
File:
topdown_sys.rbxl (152.3 KB)
Hi,
Can you add a way of disabling it and enabling it?
Also could you add where it can be sent an option parameters as to how far the camera is… like default is 70 , can send it 50 and it zooms in…?
Thank for sharing it!
sure i could attempt to add this later
Any videos… pictures etc?
In the test place, It is kinda trippy how when you move left or right, the map rotates, but you still reach the position end point… but if you move up or down, the map does not rotate. And isn’t it a more isometric camera view verses top down?
But over all pretty cool.
no sorry i dont plan on making any
its “top down” ish really like the camera itself is top down but at a rotated angle always following the player by rotating the camera rather than moving the camera
That’s not appropiate for community resources. No one is going to get it if you don’t show how it works.
Here is a picture of it. I would check it out if you are looking for a semi top down, fixed camera angle , different way of using the camera…
i mean thats why i uploaded a rbxl file and some community resources dont use recordings or very little media
That’s no excuse, use pictures or videos to show off your product. It’s simple marketing. Imagine saying to all your community members “buy this plushie” and then not showing photos of it. Exactly how it is with this.
You aren’t selling your product. And before you say “but it’s not a product it’s a community resource?” It’s the same concept.
Just uploading an rbxl file means that only people landing upon your post that have immediate access to a PC can check out how it works. Not exactly ideal for anyone who does not have access to a PC in that moment.
The worst a Roblox place or model file can do is insert a backdoor into whatever game it is used in, which is pretty low risk if you know what to look out for.
Yes I know, I regret saying that.
Hi, I have tested this system and it’s good but there are a lot of things you should probably change about this post and the system itself. Firstly, I believe the title of this post should be called “Isometric Camera System” to avoid confusion with what this really is. Secondly, you should upload this to the “Creator Marketplace” for easier access. Thirdly, Like other people have said, you should include some pictures / videos in this post. Lastly, I would recommend making a module which contains all of the settings for the system as the current config is hard to navigate.
