Tween camera back to the player when they die

I want to make it so that when the player dies, the camera tweens back to the player. I have good experience with tweening and camera manipulation, but I believe what I’m trying to achieve is too complex for me. Any ideas? If you have done it before, that’s perfect.

If you don’t know what I mean, here’s me demonstrating how the camera goes back to the player by default:

You could just have a script inside of StarterPlayerScripts (not StarterCharacter) to check when you die, lock the camera, and then tween it to your position when you respawn.

#3

The problem is… your position is where you’ve locked the camera. I’m not sure how to get the new position anyway.

#4 
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Humanoid: Humanoid | Instance? = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") or Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid",25)
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	Camera.CameraSubject = Character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
end)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	Tween:Create(Camera, TweenInfo.new(4), {CFrame = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame}):Play()
	task.wait(4)
	Camera.CameraSubject = Humanoid
    Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end)

This should be in StarterPlayer.

First you need to create a Tweenservice, then add a connection to detect when the player respawns, and finally tween the players camera to the current (new) character.

This script by weakroblox35 says it all:

I would personally add more to the TweenInfo to make it more smooth (TweenInfo.new(4,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut))

#6

My fault for not being specific. The origin should be where the character has died. Then I want the camera to tween back to the player.

#7

Have you tested my snippet? If the result doesn’t come out as you expected it to be, let me know!

#8

Yes, I did. But the tween starts when the character respawns. Maybe I should ask how to calculate the camera’s position without the game setting it.

#9

Isn’t that what you wanted? Because I am confused.

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService")

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") or Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid",25)
	Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
		Camera.CameraSubject = Character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
	end)
	if Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable then
		Tween:Create(Camera, TweenInfo.new(4), {CFrame = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame}):Play()
		task.wait(4)
		Camera.CameraSubject = Humanoid
		Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	end
end)

This should fix it.

I thought I made it clear.

The script works really well. So now I have to figure out how to get the camera’s new position before the game sets it. No other action is needed. Thank you for helping! :smiley:

I’m now searching for where the camera CFrame is being set. It’s somewhere around the camera modules in the player.
