I will try, thanks for the help

[crude granite]

Quick update, same issue

 AlignOrientation.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(math.rad(-80), math.rad(-MainLand.Orientation.Y), 0)

I will be experimenting further

EDIT: Still havent fixed

[tawdry sky]

Wait are the top left and top right buttons official or you made them?

[crude granite]

Its built-in roblox beta feature

[crude granite]

So what did was set the Attachment Orientation instead on second axis since i have no other choices left.

[zealous grove]

I'm not seeing the problem in your video

[crude granite]

That was the pitch axis rotation -80 only, my goal was to add a Yaw facing where the main part is facing.

The problem was, that if I changed both axes, It would rotate its pitch instead.
I have already experimented switching to a different axis and haven't figured out how to do it.

What I tried: -Fail

AlignOrientation.CFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(math.rad(-80), math.rad(-MainLand.Orientation.Y), 0)

-80 was the pitch (up and down) - looking down

Visual Representation:

I still couldn't quite get how the rotation of AlignOrientationworks.

The pitch orientation only:

[crude granite]

The arrow is supposed to be facing down | Camera

[crude granite]

also, rotating the orientation did not help... In attachment

[zealous grove]

Cframe.lookat(vector3.zero, -vector3.yaxis, part.cframe.lookvector)

Maybe your looking for this?

[crude granite]

the camera should be facing the arrow

[crude granite]

I tried using this method:
CFrame.new(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position) * CFrame.fromOrientation(math.rad(-90), 0, math.rad(-90))

However, if I change the radian to -80 on up and down / pitch it will roll instead of up and down. I already tried switching into different axis and still failed.

I disabled the PrimaryAxisOnly and AlignType for testing purposes.

Here's the code:

UpdateCFrame - onHeartbeat

AlignPosition.Position = Vector3.new(AlignPosition.Position.X, defaultZoom + accumulated_zoom, AlignPosition.Position.Z)

AlignOrientation.CFrame = CFrame.new(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position) * CFrame.fromOrientation(math.rad(-90), 0, math.rad(-MainLand.Orientation.Y))

Camera.CFrame = camera_part.CFrame

setup

function setupCamera(Plot: Model)
    Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

    local camera_part = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
    camera_part.Position = Plot:GetPivot().Position + Vector3.new(0, defaultZoom, 0)
    camera_part.Size = Vector3.one
    camera_part.Transparency = 0 -- Temporary
    camera_part.CanCollide = false
    camera_part.CastShadow = false
    camera_part.CanTouch = false
    camera_part.Name = "camera_part"

    local Attachment = Instance.new("Attachment",camera_part)

    local AlignPosition = Instance.new("AlignPosition",camera_part)
    local AlignOrientation = Instance.new("AlignOrientation",camera_part)

    AlignPosition.MaxForce = math.huge
    AlignPosition.Responsiveness = 25
    AlignPosition.Mode = Enum.PositionAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
    AlignPosition.Attachment0 = Attachment
    AlignPosition.Position = Plot:GetPivot().Position + Vector3.new(0, defaultZoom, 0)

    AlignOrientation.MaxTorque = math.huge
    AlignOrientation.Responsiveness = 25
    AlignOrientation.Mode = Enum.OrientationAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
    AlignOrientation.Attachment0 = Attachment
    
    return camera_part , AlignPosition , AlignOrientation
end

I hope you understand what i meant

[crude granite]

Funny thing, i just realized i did the same thing on this video:

my brain probably stopped working yesterday... (non-stop working on the game lol)

AlignOrientation.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(AlignPosition.Position, MainLand.Position)
i did not realized they're just the same method 🗿

[crude granite]

quick question though, its facing -90, im haivng trouble making it -80 or less

im really bad at CFame

[crude granite]

sorry for being annoying lol but I am stuck on this progress right now.

[zealous grove]

I don't really understand what your trying to do

[crude granite]

Just rotate the camera up and down -80 degree's and rotate left and right orientation as the main part. the one with arrow.

[zealous grove]

This does not make any sense to me

[crude granite]

the arrow on mainland the orange cell was facing right

basically its lookvector

and i want the camera to be face like that

[zealous grove]

The code I sent you above is correct but your arrow is pointing the incorrect direction

Your arrow should be pointing downward ⬇️ and it should be on the top face

If you want it upside down then you can use -lookvector

[crude granite]

The camera and arrow is all good as shown here #1146033878000205926 message
but, i want it not exactly to be -90 degree looking on the ground, but -80 or less like form the video #1146033878000205926 message

[zealous grove]

Then do

Cframe.Lookat(targetcameraposition, part.position)

[crude granite]

For some reason, it looks like which i did not expect but looks amazing.

[crude granite]

but ofc, if i select a available cell, the orientation is not correct since i havent implemented it on other stuff

its a good bug ngl

[zealous grove]

The target position is not correct

[crude granite]

I do not know what you meant by target position

AlignPosition.Position = Vector3.new(AlignPosition.Position.X, defaultZoom + accumulated_zoom, AlignPosition.Position.Z)
AlignOrientation.CFrame =  CFrame.lookAt(AlignPosition.Position, MainLand.Position)
Camera.CFrame = camera_part.CFrame

[crude granite]

my goal was not to make to object it lock but rotate -80 degree.

I am so sorry, I may be very annoying XD

[zealous grove]

local offset = vector3.new(0, 20, 10)

local function ZoomToLand(land)
    local targetPosition = land.Position + offset
    AlignPosition.Position + targetPosition
    AlignOrientation.CFrame =  CFrame.lookAt(targetPosition, land.Position)
end

local function CameraRenderStep(delataTime)
    Camera.CFrame = camera_part.CFrame
end

[crude granite]

i will be trying this thanks

[crude granite]

supposed to be like this, no land locking , AlignOrientation seems wierd

[zealous grove]

Align.cframe = cframe.fromorientation(1.396263, 0, 0)

[crude granite]

how do you get that value

[zealous grove]

math.rad(80) = 1.396

[crude granite]

so that just goes back to the original video?

bumped

[crude granite]

it works but the camera should be rotate to align with arrow

[zealous grove]

The arrow is not correct

[crude granite]

it meant to be like that since ill be placing these with different orientation on the map in the future

[zealous grove]

Align.cframe = land.cframe.rotation * cframe.fromorientation(1.396263, 0, 0)

[crude granite]

hmm, sounds similar but ill try

it could rotate side ways, ill test real quick

[crude granite]

YOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[crude granite]

is there a way to reverse it?

Inverse??

[crude granite]

Inverse works

[zealous grove]

I don't understand

[crude granite]

mirror

i just inverse it works

[crude granite]

Thank you so much by the way, iI am so sorry for confusion

[crude granite]

MainLand.CFrame.Rotation:Inverse() * CFrame.fromOrientation(math.rad(-80), 0 , 0)

i though Orientation and Rotation are the same

[zealous grove]

Align.cframe = land.cframe.rotation * cframe.fromorientation(1.396263, 3.141593, 0)

[crude granite]

just quick question, do you memorize it?

[zealous grove]

Memories what?

[crude granite]

radian

[zealous grove]

Pi = 180 degrees

But no I don't memories it

Do you memories degrees?

[crude granite]

probably no not everything, im just confused since you used 1.396... instead of math.rad

[zealous grove]

Why did you pick 80 degrees over 1.5 rad?

[crude granite]

probably just a preference, it looks good on that angle

[zealous grove]

Well why not 81 degrees

[crude granite]

its close to 90, i just floored the value cuz idk

[zealous grove]

Well 1.4 rad = 80.21409 degrees

But you picked 80 because your thinking in degrees and not rad

[crude granite]

ohhhh

[zealous grove]

If you think in rad you would of picked 1.4

[crude granite]

i thought rad and degree are the same or are they???

[zealous grove]

I say I was my glass to be filled by 10 CM

Someone else says I want my glass to be filled by 4 inches

10cm = 3.937008 inches
4 inches = 10.16cm

[crude granite]

that make sense, I learned matric conversion but not pi/degree and stuff or I just dont pay attention in class, probably this school year 👀

[zealous grove]

You say let's rotate by 80 degrees I say let's rotate by 1.4 rad

Your 80 degrees has no meaning

But it has meaning to you

[crude granite]

yeah

[zealous grove]

Rad and degrees both have meaning to me

So I'm happy with using 80.21409 degrees

But you don't like that you want it to be perfectly 80

[crude granite]

Mhmm, i see

this kinda messed up, but in grade 10, it was pandemic time which i learn nothing since home school. 💀

now, im g12 which will be first collage next year

im basically behind to this nessesary stuff🗿

[crude granite]

anyways, thank you so much for the help, This knowledge will be applied for future scenario's. you can close this post now
