How would I go about locking the player's camera in a certain position (set by cframe) and have it not allow the player to move it at all?

use a local script to access the player's camera, and set the camera type to scriptable. ex) local camera = Workspace.CurrentCamera camera.CameraType = "Scriptable" camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(some CFrame position) camera.CameraSubject = Workspace[""] --provice an instance that the camera will point to

Alright I got that to work, thanks guys. Also, what's the best way to put the camera back onto the character like normal after that? I thought that you could either respawn the character or destroy the camera, but neither are working.

Just change the Camera's CameraType back to Custom and set the CameraSubject back to the player's humanoid.

This way is lazier, so it's how I re-set: SaveType = camera.CameraType SaveSubject = camera.CameraSubject . . . camera.CameraType = SaveType camera.CameraSubject = SaveSubject
