I have a lock on code in my game, and it's angled 45 degrees to the character's right, so whenever I move to the left or the right it doesn't perfectly orbit the target. How would I get around that?

Code
local heightOffset = 5
local distanceOffset = 10
local angleOffset = math.rad(45)
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local playerPosition = rootpart.Position
local targetPosition = targetRootpart.Position
local direction = (targetPosition - playerPosition).unit
local rotatedDirection = Vector3.new(
direction.X * math.cos(angleOffset) - direction.Z * math.sin(angleOffset),
0,
direction.X * math.sin(angleOffset) + direction.Z * math.cos(angleOffset)
)
local cameraPosition = playerPosition + rotatedDirection * distanceOffset -rootpart.CFrame.LookVector * 15
cameraPosition = Vector3.new(cameraPosition.X, playerPosition.Y + heightOffset, cameraPosition.Z)
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPosition, targetPosition)
gyro.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(playerPosition, targetPosition)

Code
```lua
local heightOffset = 5
local distanceOffset = 10
local angleOffset ...
use the player's right vector for the offset instead of a fixed angle
local heightOffset = 5
local distanceOffset = 10
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local playerPosition = rootpart.Position
local targetPosition = targetRootpart.Position
local rightOffset = rootpart.CFrame.RightVector * distanceOffset
local cameraPosition = playerPosition + rightOffset
cameraPosition = Vector3.new(cameraPosition.X, playerPosition.Y + heightOffset, cameraPosition.Z)
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPosition, targetPosition)
gyro.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(playerPosition, targetPosition)
same thing unfortunately
if camera is slightly to the right of a character then whenever the character moves to the right it'll get closer to the target and gets further away when it moves to the left
you must equalize the target position or something, but I don't know I'm not good at math

local heightOffset = 5
local orbitRadius = 15
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local playerPosition = rootpart.Position
local targetPosition = targetRootpart.Position
local toPlayer = (playerPosition - targetPosition)
toPlayer = Vector3.new(toPlayer.X, 0, toPlayer.Z).Unit
local cameraDirection = Vector3.new(
-toPlayer.Z,
0,
toPlayer.X
)
local cameraPosition = targetPosition + (cameraDirection * orbitRadius)
cameraPosition = Vector3.new(cameraPosition.X, targetPosition.Y + heightOffset, cameraPosition.Z)
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPosition, targetPosition)
gyro.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(playerPosition, targetPosition)
the camera is constantly on the target now, and you have to press a nd d to move forwards back and and w s to move left and right

ok I give up

I respect it

you may need to make your own thing that controls movedirection
