Y and Z adding together in orientation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

TL;DR: Y and Z of the orientation adding together making the y the sum of those 2 and z = 0, need help.

I have never seen anything like this and cannot find anything online. Basically what
I need is for the camera’s cframe to be on the parts cframe.

Here is my code, and the resulting Orientation.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local char = player.Character local camblock = Instance.new("Part",workspace) local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera camblock.Name = "Cam" camblock.Anchored = true camblock.Orientation = Vector3.new(-90, 90, 60) cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable while true do camblock.Position = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position + Vector3.new(10,15,0) cam.CFrame = camblock.CFrame task.wait(.001) end

I have tried editing the orientation while the script is running but it still makes y the sum of y and z and making z = 0

Non of my more experienced friends can help me and I am stuck. Anything would help, Thank You.

Can you break down X and Z into X, Y, Z trigonometric components?

Looks like you’re getting gimbal lock. XYZ rotations aren’t great for describing rotation because they don’t contain enough information. You should look into CFrame.fromAxisAngle or quaternions for rotations.

I think Roblox changed their position in studio recently. If you try to set the Y (or X or Z) position for multiple parts, it screws up their positions entirely.
