For my place it would be nice to have a "Deciding" team (it is for a clan).

So having a camera that shows the fort with the team changer GUI just sitting there would be nice.

But I would be nice if the camera would move around, somewhat of a "tour".

I do not know how to script but I do know how to change positions.

So if someone has an easy-to-edit script I would love to see it so I can change positions of where the camera goes.

Thank you.

ROBLOX doesn't make camera manipulation easy. It's complicated with a couple of properties that I haven't mastered yet.

Camera manipulation is not hard at all, you find all the methods, and properties here:

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Camera

If you still cannot understand - you can find cutscene plugins on this forum, which you can download.

I've tried that. I just can't grasp camera manipulation.

What is so hard about it? I am pretty sure the wiki is updated well, and if it isn't - contact me and I'll edit it for you.

Let me give you a few examples, in a localscript you can do this:

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera; -- get the camera of the player

camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(100,100,100) -- moved the camera to 100,100, 100

for i = 1, 360 do
camera:SetRoll(math.rad(i)) -- rotates the camera 360 degrees
wait()
end

@Everyone

Thanks for the help.

@Sec

Yeah :3

I am making a WIJ place but I don't want to use the typical screen because:

1. It is stuff just for SS and other HRs.

2. I don't think it will suit this place I am making well.
