Unable to move camera

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I want a camera to move smoothly left right forwards and backwards, so i made a simple script. However, when i press the button W it just doesnt do anything - i have tried changing its rotation and its focus instead, but nothing has happened! Here is the script:

spawn(function()
	workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
end)

local camera = workspace.Camera
local camerapos = camera.CFrame.Position
game.UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
		print("moved")
		camerapos = camerapos + Vector3.new(10, 0 ,0)
	end
end)

Also, whenever i join, the camera has a 50/50 chance of being custom or scriptable, when i want it to be scriptable. Annoying!
Thank you.

As for camera game scripts do set its behavior so you should do:

local camera:Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera or workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")

camera = CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
repeat
RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
camera = CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until camera.CameraType==Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

For movement just do

--DECLEAR OUTSIDE OF FUNCTION
local forward = CFrame.new(10,0,0) --you maybe need to shift arguments a little

---




--code here
camera.CFrame*=forward

Your camera game scripts part i dont understand at all. I put it in and half the lines had errors on it so (i think) i fixed it and it doesnt do anything. Your movement part is just the same thing and doesnt work

I didn’t understand your reply.
I understand that English is not your first language likely (just like mine) but please try forming sentance properly for it to be readable for other speakers

Is it printing “moved” in the output window when you press W?

I tried searching “control camera” and found a few posts about it that may help.

I also searched control camera with keyboard and found this:

you did:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local camera:Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera or workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")::Camera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera:GetPropertyChangedSignal("CameraType"):Wait()
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local forward = CFrame.new(0,0,-10)


game.UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input:InputObject, gameProcessedEvent:boolean):()
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
		print("moved")
		camera.CFrame*=forward
	end
end)

right?
