Camera Problem

[topaz swallow]

not sure what's going on, but when other scripts invoke the "unlock()" function, modify the camera's CFrame, and then invoke "reset()", the cameramodule doesn't really save the modified cframe, causing the camera to face the last direction it was facing before unlock() was invoked.
i've tried constantly saving the current cframe of the camera after unlock function gets invoked, and returning after reset is invoked and no, doesnt work at all.

give me some suggestions if possible :)
also sorry for bad video quality, had to compress it

camera module script:

Is the same script calling both functions

[topaz swallow]

check the pastebin

oh wait

u mean what script?

[cursive sparrow]

I mean where is reset and lock being called

[topaz swallow]

at the camera modulescript

[cursive sparrow]

Isn’t that where the function is being created

Not called

[topaz swallow]

oh

misread

on the door script, there's the serverscript for it, the one that handles the proximityprompt and fires a remote to the client, and the client is the one that calls unlock, plays the animation, and then calls reset

[cursive sparrow]

So is the same script calling reset and unlock

[topaz swallow]

yeah

[cursive sparrow]

Have you tried debugging the positions

[round osprey]

** You are now Level 8! **

[cursive sparrow]

Seeing if the positions are stored correctly

[topaz swallow]

yeah

this is the part of the localscript

[cursive sparrow]

Ur requiring it twice

Require it once in a variable

And then call unlock and reset on that variable

[topaz swallow]

that will do the same thing tho

[cursive sparrow]

So like local cameramodule = require(script)

[cursive sparrow]

Nope

[topaz swallow]

it will

that will just reduce the script length

[cursive sparrow]

If you call require multiple times it requires the script multiple times

[topaz swallow]

isnt it supposed to be like that

[cursive sparrow]

No

Just try having a variable at the top of the script

[topaz swallow]

fine

didnt fix anything

[cursive sparrow]

I just looked at the video and isn’t it doing what you want it to do

It’s going back to the original position after

Or do you not want it to do that

[topaz swallow]

i dont want that

xd

its weird

[cursive sparrow]

Are you just hiding the player and moving their camera?

[topaz swallow]

nope

it has a animation

• the camera is getting locked to the player's head

when the animation is playing

[cursive sparrow]

Well I mean the problem ur having is with how the Roblox camera works

[topaz swallow]

i captured the stuff before animation > on animation
ignore position, just Y orientation

[cursive sparrow]

Try this

local x,y,z = camera.CFrame:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position) * CFrame.Angles(x,y,z) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(2))

[cursive sparrow]

Because when you turn off camera.scriptable it snaps back

[topaz swallow]

thats the main problem

i'm trying to modify the stored orientation of the modulescript after unlock is called

and then return the last frame's camera orientation direction once reset is called

[cursive sparrow]

There might be other camera modes that allow for that

[topaz swallow]

im pretty much just about to give up and let it be like that

[topaz swallow]

ill still try some other stuff
