Turn Camera to Scriptable and Move it with CFrame

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1 
 I want to move the camera from one brick to the other, with a relatively fast camera move.
 I click on the brick, and nothing happens.
I looked for a solution and I found one that didn't work.

I would like to make the camera face the front of the brick, and move somewhat fast towards the next camera brick.

function onClicked(plr)
	local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	camera.CFrame = game.Workspace.PaddockCam.CFrame
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

Is this running from a Local script or Server script?

have you set the camera subject to the object tho?

@FerbZides

function onClicked(plr)
	local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	camera.CameraSubject = game.Workspace.PaddockCam
	camera.CFrame = game.Workspace.PaddockCam.CFrame
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

Run this on a localscript. The server can’t tell when a specific player clicks on something unless you fire a remote event. This should work fine on a localscript (i think).

thanks! I will try this in a sec

Button code:

function onClicked(plr)
   game.ReplicatedStorage.BasicMoveToPaddock:FireServer()
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

Replicated storage code:

game.ReplicatedStorage.BasicMoveToPaddock.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	camera.CameraSubject = game.Workspace.PaddockCam
	camera.CFrame = game.Workspace.PaddockCam.CFrame
end)

The server can’t move your client’s camera. Each player has their own. A LocalScript also won’t run if it’s a child of a Part/non-character Model in the workspace.

Camera is supposed to be handled by local server. Thats because every player might have different camera angle

ok, i came up with an idea. what if I made the camera go to a certain brick, and then move that brick instead of moving the camera?
