Unable to change the player Camera's Orientation

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 just need the player’s Camera to rotate 360 degrees with TweenService for Cutscenes.

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

local part = CurrentCamera
local propertyToTween = {CFrame = CurrentCamera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0,math.rad(360))}



local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	10, -- Time
	Enum.EasingStyle.Back, -- EasingStyle
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- EasingDirection
	-1, -- RepeatCount (when less than zero the tween will loop indefinitely)
	false, -- Reverses (tween will reverse once reaching it's goal)
	5 -- DelayTime
)
local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, propertyToTween)

The Script above did RUN properly, but for some reason, it changes the Position of the camera rather than Orientation? Which I am quite confused what to do here

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

I tried looking for solutions and youtube videos on how to animate the camera, but none of explain how I could simply rotate/ edit the orientation of the camera.

*I did also try to do Orientation for the PropertyToTween, but it just says that Orientation cannot be found in “Camera”.

#2

Did you try tween:Play() ?
Maybe that’s the issue.

#3

yes, I did tween:Play() in the script, but what the tween does is moving the player’s camera forward a direction, but not changing the orientation

#4

Did you set the CameraType before performing the tween?

CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
#5

That too, actually

I am able to script the camera’s position, just not orientation

#6

As far as i can remember, current camera has a property called: “Orientation” try changing this line:

local propertyToTween = {CFrame = CurrentCamera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0,math.rad(360))}

to this instead:

local propertyToTween = {Orientation = CurrentCamera.Orientation* CFrame.Angles(0, 0,math.rad(360))}

(also, maybe you may need to change something, idk if it will work)

#7

Sorry for the late reply, but sadly it just doesn’t want to work
I’m not the best at tweening, nor I have really seen people talking about how to tween the orientation of the camera

local CamLocation = game.Workspace
local Cam1 = CamLocation.Cam1
local CurrentCamera = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")
--
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")




CurrentCamera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
CurrentCamera.CFrame = Cam1.CFrame

local part = CurrentCamera
local propertyToTween = {Orientation = CurrentCamera.Orientation* CFrame.Angles(0, 0,math.rad(360))}



local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	10, -- Time
	Enum.EasingStyle.Back, -- EasingStyle
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- EasingDirection
	-1, -- RepeatCount (when less than zero the tween will loop indefinitely)
	false, -- Reverses (tween will reverse once reaching it's goal)
	5 -- DelayTime
)



local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, propertyToTween)

tween:Play()
CurrentCamera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
CurrentCamera.CFrame = Cam1.CFrame
--task.wait(10)
--tween:Cancel() -- cancel the animation after 10 seconds

I’ll post the whole script here this time

Oh, my bad, i think the current camera doesn’t have a orientation property, then i don’t know how to help, sorry
