Trying to make a camera look at a part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello.
I’ve been trying to make a sort of camera system where the camera’s CFrame is completely still but I want it to look at a certain part.
for example;

I’ve tried to make the lookvector point to this part but it doesn’t work.
Any help would be appreciated!

How do i fix this camera script?

Have you tried setting the Camera’s CFrame while using a CFrame.Angles(x, y, z) ? Also be sure to use math.rad() with the angles values inside.

#3

I have. It didn’t work when I tried it.

#4

Could you possibly post the line(s) that you have tried? From what I understand from your main post, setting the camera’s CFrame and rotating should be what you want.

#5

Yes. Give me one second to post it.

local c=workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
function camtype(focus,target)
	if focus then
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame=c*CFrame.Angles(math.rad(target.CFrame.LookVector.X),math.rad(target.CFrame.LookVector.Y),0)
	end
end
while true do
	game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait()
	camtype(true,workspace.Part)
end

I’ve tried even more but they either errored or stayed and barely bounced.

CFrame.lookAt(Vector3, Vector3)

This CFrame construction method will create a CFrame at the location of the first Vector3, and the CFrame will look towards the position of the second Vector3.

Thank you! This worked wonderfully. I should’ve thought of this sooner.

Thank you! This is very useful, as I have been confused about this for a long time.
