Trouble Tweening Camera To Move Straight from PointA to PointB

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I want to tween the player camera when they click a button so that their camera will tween in a linear path.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

Instead of the camera going straight to the next camera, it does a twirl and goes upside down almost.

I made an image that hopefully depicts what I’m asking for. PointA is the camera where the tween starts and then the black line indicates a straight line from PointA to PointB. That’s what I want to accomplish.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I’ve tried looking on Youtube & Dev Forum to help my question, couldn’t find anything exactly that could help me. So I decided to post my question as a topic. Hopefully someone can help me, any help is appreciated.

Here’s my Code So Far:

-- This is an example Lua code block
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local cam2 = workspace.Map.Properties.Property2.Property2Cam -- the camera2 (end goal)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	camera.CameraSubject = cam2
	local TI = TweenInfo.new(5,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.In,0)
	local Goal = {CFrame = cam2.CFrame} --declaring my end goal for the tween
	local Anim = TS:Create(camera,TI,Goal)
	Anim:Play()
end)

Please give me suggestions on how I can modify my code, or if there’s something I’m missing. If you need more info on what I’m asking help for please ask me.

end)

what do you mean by your post?

Try this:
local Goal = {CFrame = CFrame.new(cam2.CFrame.Position, camera.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0)}
