What camera type do I use if I want to lock camera to a certain part?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I basically want to follow a part, and disable camera view rotating. I’m creating a cinematic style tween. Not sure which camera type I should use? And most still allow the camera to be rotated. Or is that a setting I need to disable somewhere? Thanks.

You Usually use either Fixed or Scriptable to Create a Cinematic Camera

Scriptable doesn’t focus on the object. Seems to just freeze camera

local newCam = workspace.CurrentCamera
	newCam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
	newCam.CameraSubject = workspace:WaitForChild("CameraPart")

Yes, thats the point, its in the name: Scriptable

You script the Camera’s movement instead of it doing it for you

#5

Ah okay, I just preferred using a part since it’s easy to see where it is in object space and I can get coordinates placing it where I want. [Edit: I guess I could just use a parts position though for A and B destination]

How do i mark a post as solved?

So I’m trying to script the camera to tween from part A to part B…But what’s happening is it’s tweening from my current camera position towards part B and then back when it reverses. What am I doing wrong here? Cause I set the camera subject to Part A

task.wait(2)

local camParts = workspace:WaitForChild("CameraParts")

local a = camParts:WaitForChild("A")

local b = camParts:WaitForChild("B")

local idle = camParts:WaitForChild("Idle")

local newCam = workspace.CurrentCamera

newCam.CameraType = "Scriptable"

newCam.CameraSubject = a

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local camera = newCam

task.wait(4)

print("tweening")

local Info = TweenInfo.new(

4, -- Length

Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, -- Easing Style

Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- Easing Direction

8, -- Times repeated

true, -- Reverse

0 -- Delay

)

local Goals =

{

CFrame = CFrame.new(b.Position)

}

local tween = TweenService:Create(camera,Info,Goals)

tween:Play()

On your last topic, you said you were using a Server Script, use a LocalScript and put it inside StarterGui, Should work after that.

Yea sorry I changed to local script when I instead did your method of tweening camera.

I’ll upload a video real quick 1sec

#10 
local Info = TweenInfo.new(
	4,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
	8,
	true, --@ change this to false to make it not reverse
	0
)
#11

Thats not his issue, his issue is that its not tweening

#12

Sorry I wasn’t clear, it is tweening. The problem is that instead of tweening from Part A → Part B

It’s instead tweening from my players current camera → Part B

As shown here:

Here is the parts shown in workspace: https://gyazo.com/4dc9fc09c0af95065ccd57778bfb8ae9

Try this out:

task.wait(2)

local camParts = workspace:WaitForChild("CameraParts")
local a = camParts:WaitForChild("A")
local b = camParts:WaitForChild("B")
local idle = camParts:WaitForChild("Idle")
local newCam = workspace.CurrentCamera
newCam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
newCam.CameraSubject = a
newCam.CFrame = a.CFrame
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

task.wait(4)

print("tweening")

local Info = TweenInfo.new(
	4, -- Length
	Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, -- Easing Style
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- Easing Direction
	8, -- Times repeated
	true, -- Reverse
	0 -- Delay
)

local Goals =
	{
		CFrame = b.CFrame
	}

local tween = TweenService:Create(newCam,Info,Goals)
tween:Play()

Example from one of my scripts:

TweenService:Create(Camera, TweenInfo.new(1,EasingStyle.Sine), {CoordinateFrame = CameraPart.Part2.CFrame}):Play()

Thanks, that’s working. I guess I need to assign the CFrame of the camera before operating the tween?
