On Roblox, you primarily control your view, or camera perspective, using your mouse, with the exact method depending on the camera mode you are using in the game.
Controlling View in Different Roblox Camera Modes
Roblox games typically utilize different camera modes that determine how your view behaves and how you interact with it. The reference highlights two common modes: Classic and Follow.
Classic Mode View Control
In Classic mode, the camera's position and direction remain fixed unless you manually make an adjustment. This mode gives you direct control over where you look.
To change your avatar's vantage point and manually look around the game environment while in Classic mode:
- Hold down the right button on your mouse and drag it around.
By performing this action, you can rotate the camera freely around your avatar, allowing you to survey your surroundings, look in different directions, or get a better angle of the action.
Follow Mode View Behavior
In Follow mode, the camera functions differently. Instead of staying fixed, it automatically rotates and adjusts to follow your avatar's movements. The reference states that in Follow mode, the camera "will rotate with your avatar as you move right or left to help keep your intended targets in view."
While manual camera control like the right-mouse drag is the primary method described for Classic mode in the reference, the Follow mode provides an automatic camera experience that keeps you focused on where your character is heading.
Different Roblox games may implement camera controls slightly differently or offer options to switch between modes, but the fundamental manual control described for adjusting your view in Classic mode involves using the right mouse button.
